No surprise there. They obviously can't defend this.

And now they have about $6.8 Bil of uninvested capital that they'll kick in on behalf of the cause...

I'm not so sure about the UAE currently having a "Pledge to the Destruction of Israel", anymore. The more I read, the more it would appear that they are a very good ally, in the WOT. Granted, it is a dictatorship, but it seems pretty benevolent.

Concerns about Hamas may be legitimate, though...does anyone have current info on that front?

(It wasn't Israel who nixed the ports deal, after all.)
Interesting.

Should be: "pledged to the destruction of Israel by violent jihad" in post #12, obviously.

This is my view. It seems with the complicated issue of Israel. UAE was making some good tenative steps. Again, during all these talk shows I hardly saw no one from the State of Israel talking. In fact I saw Israeli business interest defending it. Also as a side note was the issue of the UAE onwership of that little ole stadium in Britan. Evid they were allowing The Israeli Tourist agency to advertise. THis created a little furor among the arab extremist. I was reading about how some sort of arab campaign against the UAE was trying to be mounted. Well it appears the ads will continue. I am not a fan of Hammas, but it appears that the UAE could very well be the next country to strengthen relations with Israel. Baby steps would seem to be happening. It looks like this boycott of Israel is gotten around by numerous means in the UAE. If people are concerned about Israel they should encourage more trade with the UAE. That will open more minds. Again the fact that I wasnt hearing alot of complaints from Israli sources was big to me. THey realize the complexities of the region better than we do.

I've bookmarked this story and will gladly hand it to the pro UAE the next time they call me racist...which should be just a matter of a few seconds.
