Exactly. I'm sure the Palestinians will be much more grateful when they actual see this money. At the moment it's just an imaginary promise by a distant king.

im wondering though, are the aid efforts (whether donated by Saudi or otherwise) actually reach gaza :rollseyes

Saudi king announces $1 billion help to Gaza Strip

saudi kingThe Saudi king on Monday said his country will donate $1 billion to help rebuild the Gaza Strip after Israel's devastating three-week offensive in the Palestinian territory. "On behalf of the Saudi people, I declare the donation of one billion dollars for programmes to rebuild Gaza," the Saudi monarch said.



According to the AP, King Abdullah criticizes Israel for using excessive force and said "one drop of Palestinian blood" is more valuable than all the money in the world. The king spoke Monday in Kuwait City at a summit focused on boosting economic growth and development in the Arab world.

good for them.

I suspect this is a token popularity bid but I hope not and they will really do some good. Hopefully they will spend in on aid and not proselytizing Salafi Islam/ building Salafi schools, Mosques etc. I guess what I'm getting at is that I hope they use it altruistically and not to advance a Saudi political agenda in the guise of aid.
 
throw in money so they can do it all over again, if that much wealth and attention were used to solve the Palestinian issue this wouldn't have happened in the first place.

wth1275 you really have no inkling how the world runs, do you you know?
besides Gazans could easily be classified as salafi in the first place, why do you think Hamas won the election there..

Um, again as above I don't know what you are getting at

If individuals in Gaza with to follow Salafi Islam that is their buisness and not mine. As not all Gazans are and the Saudi's are not above inserting political ideology into their understanding of Islam I hope they use the money to help all Gazans including Fatah supporters, Palestinian Christians, and non Salafi Muslims.
 
naturally the Saudi's will use the money to increase their popularity and so on, I meant what did you think they'd do otherwise, I'm sorry if that offended,
and Fatah got all the aid that was given to 'the Palestinian cause', them being the Palestinian authority and all, Hamas got nothing, because they were terrorists and whatnot, it's the opposite of what you're suggesting and hoping doesn't happen..

naturally if you believe something is good, you'd spread it around, for eg. google democracy+Iraq.

Hmm...I wont say what I think....but...May Allah aid us to aid His slaves in Gaza, Ameen.
 
Donating money which already belongs to the Muslims but he constantly steals for his own wealth? don't see the greatness in that. He's just returning a fraction of the Muslim wealth. I'm a bit skeptical because all the Khaleej countries promised them $1 billion in 2000 however never paid. Saddam mocked them and paid $1 billion himself. SAW said that the blood of muslim is dearer to Allah than the destruction of the Kabba' stone by stone. I think that hadeeth reached the "Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques" May Allah Guide him to haq or remove him ameen
