They keep their populations ignorant and therefore controllable.

Palestine isn't a country. Syria doesn't keep its citizens poor as it has a middle-class economy. Same goes for all the oil rich Arab nations.
There is poverty but there's a also a great deal of poverty in the US and all wealthy western nations.

Wow, starting to sound like America. By 2012, the whole world will be divided into 2 classes the rich and the poor. It is called greed and mis-guided capitalism.

Palestine is not rich, but you're right. Why don't the oil rich countries support Palestine and help the Palestinians to build a nation. Instead, they use their resources for munitions and expect Israel to babysit the Palestinians.
(It's because the royal families have become so large, it's getting more and more expensive to keep them in the style to which they've become accustomed.)

Can anyone say "Islamic Law". They are not keeping their people in poverty - they were preordained to be in a position of richness, and power. It is Allah's will.
Don't worry, if they get their way, we will learn first hand how they keep their people in poverty.

Because they're muslims and their religion is all about controlling the common man so the emams and religious leaders can live in luxury.
