A source in Lebanon explains to me why Hizbullah has been avoiding criticizing Saudi Arabia or even the Hariri family in Lebanon (they only criticize Ja`ja` (Ga`ga` in Egyptian accent) and Jumblat (Gunblat in Egyptian accent). I am told that Hizbullah reached an understanding with King `Abdullah a few months ago, and that the king made political promises to Hizbullah and made requests. Thus, the list of Arab parties, organizations, and personalities coopted or controlled by House of Saud keeps growing.
