Saudi Arabia continues to spend the money it bilks from Western taxpayers under the political cover of Middle Eastern "instability" created by Israeli war-mongering and regional chaos-sowing to stabilize the oppression of Palestinians and to indirectly fund the occupation-administering PA: "Palestinian Prime Minister, Dr. Salaam Fayyad, stated that he received a phone call on Monday evening from the Saudi Finance Minister, Dr. Ibrahim Al Assaf, informing him that the Saudi king, Abdullah bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud, issued orders to transfer $200 Million to the P.A.....Riyadh is the biggest financial supporter to the P.A. and the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and even to nongovernmental charity organizations in Palestine." Maxime Rodinson writes: "The constant factors in Saudi politics are a vigilant conservatism more or less aware of the necessity for a minimum of reforms, the American alliance, and hostility to the revolutionary movements gaining ground elsewhere in the Arab world...Israel is only of secondary interest to the Saudi monarchs...Their heart is Arab, no doubt; but their purse is American."
