Every middle-east country loaths the idea of a palestinian 5th column rearing its head.
Its why the kuwaitis, jordanians, saudi's, and just about every other country around there doesn't allow them to permenatly immigrate there or buy land.
They supported the intifada simply because it kept the pals all in one confined area fighting the israelis, rather than having to worry about Arafat unleashing them upon other countries.
Funny how during the intifada which the middle-eastern countries milked for all they could to blame israel for everyone misery, they never talk about how palestinians helped cordinate Saddam's attack on Kuwait or how Arafat was kicked out of Jordan and 10,000 palestinians killed by the Jordanian king because Arafat tried to pull a coup with Syria's backing.
Saudi Arabia doesn't allow Palestinians to immigrate to the kingdom and make it virtually impossible for them to get work visas.
It goes on, and on, and on.....
Would Israel have expelled the Palestinians if they didn't go intifadah? It seems to me that the safest path for these other countries would have been to encourage the Palestinians to get along with Israel.
