A large component of any revolution is what percentage of the total population fall into poverty. When you have a large middle class it much harder to have a revolution. Because most people are satisfied with their lifestyle. That's political science 101, have a large booming middle class. In the oil sheikdoms I believe that's the case. I think the middle classes along with the rich is large enough to avoid that for now. So if your familiar with 9 social stratum's: 3 classes of rich; 3 classes of middle class; and 3 classes of poor. If the 3 classes of poor is kept at a low number, under 15% To 20% of the total population, the 80% are happy enough not to want a revolution. The other component would be when the leadership and the people have a political divide so wide and unfair that people would revolt. Again I don't think that's the case in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

i doubt whether the palestinian people will support your solution. it is not up to you to decide where the palestinians must live. the palestinians just as any other people (including the jewish people) have the right to decide for themselves where they want to live in this world. everyone has the right of a place under the sun.
