Why have Arab leaders turned a blind eye to the Palestinian holocaust? Best answer on the web

  • The Palestinians had to blow up a wall to get into Egypt for food, water, gas and baby formula after the Israeli government cut off everything to them. Why don't the leaders of the Arab world do something?


  • Holocaust is a rather strong term, but there is a rather slow systematic policy of ethnic cleansing in areas Israel plans on maintaining as part of the Jewish state.

    The Arab leaders use the Palestinians as pawns. As long as they are there in misery they are not only thorns in Israel's side but also a scapegoat to alleviate focus on their own corrupt governments. The Mubaraks, the Sheiks and company rule only by wealth, distributing it to those who will support them and keeping it out of those who would not. If there were no Palestinians anymore the focus would be internal. That is not good for business as usual.

    America comes into play by supporting these characters in a mutually beneficial arrangement. These Arab rulers profit of the historical tribal divisions in their "nations" and the common folk suffer for it. Without the Palestinians, Arabs might focus more on why they have some of the lowest literacy rates on the globe. Why women, the heart of cultural education and progress in society, are held back; creating a new generation of un-enlightened young people? It isn't Islam that is to blame...it is greed.

    The extremists and profiteers on both sides need the Palestinians. Without them who would be there to use as an excuse for all that goes on?


  • Arab leaders come and go...the arabs are waiting for a strong leader and when the time is right, they will strike. Report Abuse


  • Lowest literacy rates? where did you get that from??

    Kuwait - 93.3%
    Palestine - 92.4%
    Jordan - 91.1%
    UAE - 88.7%
    Lebanon - 88.3%
    Bahrain - 86.5
    Saudi Arabia - 82.9%
    Oman - 81.4%
    Syria - 80.8%

    You call that LOW?? no wait, you called it lowEST. dont act too smart. Report Abuse


  • It's curious isn't it? Could it be because it is more convenient to keep the problems in Palestine than to give homes to Palestinian refugees?


  • its autually now a day the non- christians vs. the christians..


  • because they are as indifferent to the genuine suffering of the palestinians, as the rest of the world is


  • Holocaust is a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it ?

    As for the Arab leaders, they keep a low profile because talk of Palestine encourages an influx of Palestinian refugees which they do not want. More importantly, it encourages radical Islamic groups to gain support & they definitely don't want that !

    Also, Israel is the strongest country in the region & it is backed up by the strongest country on the planet so what COULD they do ?


  • BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE PALESTINIANS


  • I agree with Sparkle.The terrorists are hidden among the genuine cases:That causes the tragedy.


  • they are doing something. they are letting the us and israel take all the heat for a problem they can fix. but its more convenient to foment unrest against the west while they subject their own people to violence and hate.
