"..a handful of Arab states, including Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, began clamping down on pro-Palestine activism in their own countries"
Crackdown on protest is expected in authoritarian states. As for Palestine, "no Arab state wants to confront Israel...this has much to do with their relations with the US on which they rely for security and, in some cases, as a source of critical financial assistance"
Also, pro-Palestine seen as leftist.
