I've Been Thinking:

Every once in a while a real live event from the world of Arab/Israel relations begs to be included in the world of Ripley's Believe it or Not.

The Prime Minister of Qatar has sued a Kuwaiti newspaper for ruining his reputation.
The Qatar paper is somewhat independent as Arab newspapers go.

Why is the Prime Minister so upset that he is suing?
A columnist for the paper named Fouad al Hashem has routinely criticized Qatar for ties with Israel.
In his columns al Hashem asserts that the Qataris are getting rich through deals with Israel, especially and most recently, a diabetes drug being developed in Israel.

Qatar suing Kuwait because of Israel.
Who would have thunk it?
