Arafat can help!

Perhaps Mr Bin Laden (the Saudi billionaire) can help in a more positive way if he actually gives a damn for his Palestinian brothers, ie hard cash, or he could always prevail upon the key signatories to the Swiss Accounts where Arafat diverted the money that he stole out of the mouths of the starving Palestinians to return this loot to the people for whom it was intended. Or he could illustrate the Islamic 'Ummah' that we've heard so much about and prevail upon fellow Muslims (whom we are told have such solidarity) to make a contribution to their Muslim brothers that is not explosive. We've heard many times from various contributors to this board that they do not need our hand-outs so why does Mr Bin Laden show such a lack of faith in the ability of his brothers to feed themselves without Western spoons?
