Saudi King

I read some Saudi newspapers today. Yesterday, Al-Arabiya TV aired a report on popular reactions around the world in solidarity with the people of Gaza. The anchorperson then said: And in Saudi Arabia--and you expect that he will report on some demonstrations--the King visited two injured Palestinians. The Saudi media are filled with news of special Saudi planes that transported injured Palestinians to the kingdom. In total, 9 were transported. The King visited two of the nine, and one of the two seemed to me to be giving his finger to the King but that needs further verification.
