According to news reports coming out of Saudi Arabia, “King” Abdullah warned President Obama during his pre-Cairo visit to Riyadh that “Arab patience is running out.”
Because, according to Abdullah, imposing a solution to the “Palestinian issue” – by which he presumably means forcing the Israelis back to their pre-1967 borders, a “right of return” for Arabs “displaced” after their siege against the newly-formed Jewish state in 1948, and the establishment of a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital; in other words, the terms of the Arab Peace Initiative of 2002 – “would be ‘the magic key’ to resolving all other conflicts in the region.” And this is crucial, added the “king” of beheadings, crucifixions, child marriages, lashings, slavery, etc., for Arabs “would rather devote their time to ‘forming a new generation that can face the future with knowledge and (the ability to) work.'” (Unless, of course, they’re women.)
