Arab countries that supported, armed and financed the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) for decades are now realizing that the terror organization did not do anything to actually benefit the Palestinians.
For years the PLO received billions of dollars in donations, and it all went down the drain when the previous PLO chairman Yasser Arafat passed away. His wife Suha Arafat, who lives in Paris with her daughter, inherited all that Arab money.
Mounting corruption in the Palestinian Authority is changing how Arabs view the Palestinian issue.

I’m talking about the US and other nations who doled out money over the years to leaders who got wealthy while their average citizens suffered.
3. Come quickly Yeshua and set up your kingdom.
