Precarious royals

It is amazing how defensive and weak the Saudi rulers are. For the first two days of the attack, Al-Arabiya TV (the station of the brother-in-law of King Fahd) tried to really treat the Israeli terrorist attacks on Gaza as a minor and passing story, until Hasan Nasrallah attacked the station by name and mocked its scant coverage. The very next day, the station changed its coverage and made it more extensive.
