The Saudis are rich. The Palestinians are poor. The Saudis have a country. The Palestinians don´t. So why shouldn´t there be a Palestinian state – in Saudi Arabia?
Let´s rewind for a minute and ask: Why are the Saudis rich? They have oil. This is obvious. Not so obvious is this question: Why are the Palestinians poor? Month after month, the Palestinian Authority keeps being fed millions of dollars through the generosity of the European Union, the United States and fellow Arabs, namely, in fact, Saudi Arabia. This money could have been used to enrich the lives of Palestinians living in lands that had been awarded to them through the Oslo accords. Oslo gave them half of the West Bank and most of Gaza and would have given more, had they not resorted to terrorism.
That´s it in a nutshell. They did resort to terrorism. Rather than use those millions to build an economic infrastructure, Arafat and company opted for a terrorist infrastructure. Instead of building homes, they built bombs.
The Saudis? Why shouldn’t they be replaced, as the Taliban were replaced from Afghanistan? No amount of double-talk can obscure the fact that the Saudis are the enemy – the enemy to all that is Christian, Jewish and civilized. The Saudis – the Saudi 15 – gave us 9/11. The Saudis gave us Osama bin Laden. Saudi schools and mosques promote hatred of all that is Christian, Jewish and Western. Saudi princes raise millions to support Palestinian terror by means of American-style telethons. Over the past few months, Congress has listenined to testimony from bereaved American mothers whose daughters have been kidnapped, brutalized, raped and enslaved in Saudi Arabia. They ask, "The Saudis are supposed to be our friends." They say, "But they´re our biggest enemies." Is oil that thick? Is Saudi oil thicker than American blood?
Talk about a homeland for the Palestinians always centers around Israel. Why Israel? There never was a Palestinian state within Israel, not when it belonged to the Turks, not when it belonged to the Europeans, and not even when it belonged to the Arabs. Why all of a sudden now? Because it´s in the hands of Israel, and the Jews turned it from a swamp into an oasis? Talk about a capital for this Palestinian state always centers around Jerusalem. Why Jerusalem? Jerusalem was never the capital of any nation except Israel, from the days of King David. But – it keeps being said – the Palestinians want Jerusalem for their capital. On what basis? They want even more, according to a recent survey. Seventy percent of the Arabs polled want all of Israel. They want it all to themselves, cleansed of Jews. Seventy percent.
Given that they refuse to live with Jews as neighbors, they ought to be much more at home with fellow Arabs. Hence, Saudi Arabia. The Saudis won´t even have to leave – though, given their criminality and war crimes they really should be cowering in caves along with their Taliban brothers. But that may be too much to ask. They do have all that oil, and therefore all that influence. Besides oil, however, they also have room, plenty of room to accommodate a Palestinian homeland.
This kind of a deal makes sense. First, Yasser Arafat would no longer merely be Chairman Arafat. He’d become Prince Arafat, or maybe even King Arafat. Second, if Jerusalem is holy to Islam, Mecca is even holier. That´s in Saudi Arabia.
The Palestinian Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Has a certain ring to it, huh?

Jack Engelhard is the author of the international bestseller Indecent Proposal, a former radio and newspaper editor covering the Mideast and a former American volunteer in the Israeli Defense Forces.
It is ironic, though, to see that Yasser hasn't changed one iota between 1970 and 2002.
The Amalakites are the Hebrew name for the tribesmen who came from what we call Saudi Arabia today.
They attacked the tribes of Israel first after the Egyptian Army was thwarted in its persuit.
At heliopolis was discovered an account of the Egyptian Pharaoh who was killed in a battle of celestial drama...but clearly it was a failure...afterward...the Kingdom of Egypt collapsed.
Records of this collapse are to be found in several Papyrus records...most notable .."Papyrus Ipuwer"..which conveys the utter ruin that befell Egypt.
Egypt is attacked by a collective known as the "Hyksos"...although a matter of debate still...some see the Hyksos as an Amalakite federation.
Several hundred years passed before the Hyksos rulers where thrown off by the Egyptians.
The Hyksos have been branded the Israelites...but historians know that no such Israelite confederacy existed in numerics to defeat Egypt nor rule them for hundreds of years.
debate to as to how the "Hyksos" were able to overthrow such a jugernaught as Egypt.
The answer lies in such records as Papyrus Ipuwer.
Some have said that a series of tremendous earthquakes occured..couple with drought...Egypt losts alot of its populce due to their structures falling on them....while the Israelites lived in tents.
some have conjectured a mix of meterotie impacts..and gravametrics from a passing comet....here is some mechanics which makes sense..as the historic record shows mass calamity in the mid east...kingdom collapses...and mass migration.
The Amalakites were on the move because of this..and slammed into Israel.
Discovering how badly damaged Egypt was...they went for her..and were most violently brutal in the process.
To the Egyptian...the Hyksos are hated...over time...that has been transmuted upon Israel...and yes..some Egyptian scholars admit this...that Israel did not sack Egypt.
Spring ahead several hundereds of years..and we find correspondence between the Egyptians and the Israelite king Saul...whose ancient name was "Li'byhu"..or the Lion.
The ancient Israelite records mention Saul fighting the Amalakites..and going to a certain regional boundry to defeat them.
What gets wild here..is that the Egyptians have records which reveal a temporary coalition..where the Egyptian Army fought with "The one"...near a city and a river...and defeated the Hyksos.
analysis of "The one" reveals foundation that it is infact...King Saul.
The Egyptian record restores emphasis to Pharaoh for the victory..but the one is made mention of in the lesser..what locks this in...is who was able in that time period to help Egypt...and who had a History with each other.
Now in our time..we find the same spirit of the Amalakite moving at Israel...in Lebanon..before the PLO and Hizbullah...there was "Amal" .
Israel helped the Jordainians during Black Sept...Nixon gave the OK...IAF Phantoms turned back a very large mechanized armor coloumn heading out of Syria to Amman Jordan..with Russian advisors to help the PLO.
I believe this is not the first time Israel has helped a nation in the region,who was at a point in time prior...hostile to her.
Have a book with the "guts" of Papyrus Ipuwer trans to English..its an amazing record.
You're right. I only mentioned one attempt, and completely left out the key part: expulsion. Expulsion, hmmmmm.....
If I were to offer them Michigan I wouldn't expect them to accept that any more readily as they would accept your assinine plan. The fact is that they are there and they don't want to leave just because you want them gone. You can call me all the names you want and it isn't going to make your problem go away or make your solutions any less ridiculous.
