Why aren't Muslim countries leading the charge on aid for the Palestinians?

Why aren't Muslim countries leading givers to the Palestinian cause? The question has renewed relevance upon a United Nations agency's recent release of its list of donors. Western countries and Japan are the most significant contributors to the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), while the only major Muslim givers are Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Ronen Yizhak, head of the Middle East Studies department at Israel's Western Galilee College, told JNS.org that among Arab and Muslim nations, "there is a lot of talking, but little actual deeds" on financial aid to the Palestinians.
