Arabs Don't Care About Palestine? Don't Bet on It

It is completely against the Arab ruling regimes' interest to see an independent Palestinian country. They have used the Palestinians as a diversion from their own failures for decades. As the rest of the world has marched forward the Arab world remains a backward wasteland devoid of any real hope, crippled by the petrodollars crutch. They use the despair of their own citizens and deflect it against Israel and the rest of the world instead of ameliorating their own position with the help of their natural resources.

They have no interest in seeing a liberal, educated and fairly democratic... (by Arab standards at least) Palestine. How would the monarchy in Jordan react to a democratic Palestine on its western border? How would Saudi Arabia react to a relatively secular Palestine? Understand?

The Arab world's support for the Palestinians has been almost zero. Some countries in the Arab world (yes, I'm generalizing a bit here, forgive me) don't allow Palestinians to get health-care like many of its own citizens. Their movements are restricted. They have limited civil rights and are generally treated as second class citizens at best even though, for many of them, the local country is the only country they've ever known!

The record of the other Arab countries helping the Palestinians is dismal at best. They are simply used as pawns. That's it.

I will double down on my bet that the Arab world will do nothing to materially help the Palestinians.
