Wealthier oil states could erase the poverty besetting their Palestinian 'brothers' tomorrow if they so decided.

They simply don't want to. They would rather build madrasses and exploit the desperation of its impoverished people, convincing them that strapping themselves with bombs will improve their lot.

There is no mercy in Islam. Not even for its fellow adherents.

Zakaat
http://www.islam.tc/alhilaal/site/zakat.html

Zakaat is one of the five pillars of Islam. It has been mentioned, along with daily Prayers (Salaat), over seventy times in the Qur'an. Allah's word commanding "........and establish regular Salaat and give regular Zakaat......." are referred to in many parts of the Qur'an. From this we can conclude that after Salaat, Zakaat is the most important act in Islam.
