He did believe her, and he knew what Esav was really like.  He warned
Esav not to bring him stolen meat or neveilah, and when Yaacov addressed
him politely he grew suspicious.  So he knew exactly what sort of son
he was dealing with, but he thought the power of the brachos would bring
Esav back.  Rivka knew otherwise.

                And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm doing that
                I'll say "It's a Jewish thing; if you have a few minutes
