I've Been Thinking:

The Donors Conference to Aid the Palestinians just wrapped up in London.
Like at all conferences, the interesting stories were not agenda items.
The most interesting story to emerge here is that Turkey used the conference to deliver messages between the Syrians and the Israelis.

A second interesting story is that the British hosts of the conference chastised the Arab League for failing to support the Palestinians.
Arab League members pledged $717.1 million to the Palestinians for this year's budget and have paid only $123 million.
And that money came from only three countries - Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Algeria.
No other Arab League countries have come to the aid of the Palestinians.
This is nothing new, last year the Arab League succeeded in giving only a third of what they pledged to the Palestinians.

Israel is donating millions of dollars per month in medicine and food necessities.
But not the Arab world.
All this talk about Arab unity is simply a myth.
