Solidarity with the Palestinians, eh?

In light of my post Two percent control sixty percent, consider this story from today's  issue of Abu Dhabi's The National:

US urges Arab states to give more to Palestinians

The United States has called on Arab nations to provide aid they have pledged to the Palestinian Authority but have yet to deliver...

...According to US figures, foreign donors have promised US$1.55 billion (Dh5.69bn) in budget support to the Palestinian Authority for 2008, including $717.1 million from Arab League members and $834.9m from other countries.

Of these promises, the Arab League members have actually delivered, all of which came from three countries: Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Algeria.

Other international donors, in contrast, have disbursed $502.1m, the US figures showed, with the largest sums from the European Union, the United States, Britain, Norway, France and Britain.

It's widely claimed that Islamic governments are devoted to the Palestinian cause to divert popular attention from their own terrible conditions. Does such flimsy follow-through on financial commitments by Arab League members substantiate such a claim? Donating $153.2m isn't much considering the price of oil and the needs of the Palestinians.
