"Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai . . . said in a statement . . . : 'The UAE will always support and stand by the Palestinian people materially, morally and politically, and will remain committed to its fundamental and invariable position until they achieve their security and freedom, regain their national rights and establish their own independent state on the soil of their homeland.' [He also] praised the endurance and steadfastness of Gazans who set an example of the strong will and national glory and Arab dignity. He called on Gazans to show more patience and steadfastness until the dawn of the definite victory comes."
And here's a text message I received on my mobile phone, sent to me directly from the phone company:
"To take part in 'Aid Them' campaign, send a blank sms [text] message to the following shortcodes to donate the respective amounts to support Gaza: ___ AED 10 (US $2.75); ___ AED 50 (US $13); ___ AED 100 (US $27); ___ AED 200 (US $54)."
Something tells me not to wait around for the "Aid the Other Guys" text.

Hmmm...something tells me you may want to delete this comment I am about to write:
But if Dubai or any other Arab country really gave a shit about the Palestinians they would have taken them as refugees a long time ago, aided them financially and built schools (that taught something OTHER than the Koran and to Hate Israel and America), hospitals, roads, and fostered an environment of prospertity and security for these people rather than indoctrinate generation after generation with Militant Islamic values so they could fight a proxy war with Israel and the rest of the Middle East.
