Highlights of the story include:
- Kuwaiti newspapers floating ideas about easing hostilities towards Israel to help Palestinians. Note: People laughed at Saddam when he claimed he is going to liberate Palestine when he invaded Kuwait in 1990.
- Al-Seyassah pushing for lifting the economic embargo on Israel.
- An interview with former Minister Saad Bin Tefla who said, about lifting the economic embargo, "if it's good for our allies, maybe it's good for us."
- Ahmed Al-Sarraf claimed that "we owe Israel alot" since it did not retaliate to Iraq's Scud missiles in 1991. Had Israel retaliated, "it would have affectd our cause significantly," he added.

Forget all the PLO brainswashing, the palestinians after all of Kuwait's support and help to them, stabbed the Kuwaitis in the back during the invasion.
What harm has Israel done to us?
Why not have peaceful relationships with Israel and the whole world.
Abu Mazen and his mafia are begging for peace with Israel. If it is ok for palestinians then it should be ok for Kuwait to have peace on Kuwait's terms.
The matter is not about PLO or Abu Mazin or peace. It is a matter of economics. The GCC removing the embargo on Israel is not on their terms but by force. This is not the point here. The point is will the GCC profit from lifting the embargo and having peace with Israel? Will giving Israel a symbolic victory over Arabs be worth it from an economic point of view? I doubt it. Is signing a free trade agreement with the US worth it economically? Only time will tell...
You shouldn't introduce Saad Bin Tefla as a "former minister" : he was forced to resign after a few weeks and behaved really badly http://plushness.blogspot.com/2005/11/lecture-on-al-watan-al-muwatana.html
