and thus lets give the evidence its due weight. We can categorze the evidence into two types: Words, and Actions.

Words we can conclude are pretty worthless, I mean i can basically say anything I want right? People can lie like its nothing. . . we cab conclude thus, that what someone says is not necessarily realated to what they are really thinking or what they really want.

Actions on the other handare vital to getting anything doen, and thus gives a direct clear insight into someone and their motives. Small actions however can be used to mislead (giving blood publicly, giving 10 million when you have Billions upon Billions) but still are more weighty than words.

Lets apply this: The Saudi Prince claims that the United States needs to be more fair toward the palestinians, yet gives us a $10m check.

Lets investigate the money: The $10 million is in no way substancial to someone who is arguably the richest person in the world, however it is enough to get our atention since none of us have ever handled that much.

Lets investigate the words: The Saudi Prince was not giving his money to the palestinians, though he has enough money to build them a state from the ground up. He also does not allow the palestinians to settle in his country, jordan did, but not anymore since the palestinians they let settle there tried to overthrow it. us by far are much nicerto the palestinians than they are.

Thus we can conclude that these petty actions are not completely harmonic with his other actions, and thus we would be fools to beleive what he is saying.

What comon outcomes do we see from the saudi prince? Well for us to be more balanced toward the palestinians we would then help Israel less. And since it is no big secret the muslims by and large in that area tdo not like israel that much, the saudi prince rather jsut want Israel to go away, and not for a reason of the palestinians (as is evident from my 6th paragraph).

to sum up Rudy and the princes conversatiion it would be-
Prince: "I don't like israel, I don't want you supporting them"
Rudy: "I am not going to listen to you"

. . . as for rudys motives. . . well remember he is a politicians. . . but I have spent enough time on this post already, so I'll leave that up in the air. I'll just say regardless of his motives, his actions are representative of what I would have wanted done, so I am happy (hey I didn't even have to vote for the guy!)
