1. If Hizbullah comes up in Jordan we'll strike in Jordan
Efi ,   Tel Aviv   (08.03.06)
Don't think for a minute we won't, "your highness..." You're better off keeping silent.
2. ARAB MODERATE
Brant ,   Hilton Head, USA   (08.03.06)
Here he goes again. The man with the treaty with Israel calling Qana "a terrible act of butchery" after the death toll was cut 50% by Lebanese authorities; here he goes again, blaming everything on Israel and NOTHING on his late father who created the Occupation in 1967 by attacking Israel. The Hashemite teflon remains strong. The ideas and integrity remain porous.
3. human thought trancends peace
brownbear ,   barcelona, spain   (08.03.06)
Human thought transcends into reality. You consciously think to let go of hate and stop the violence and it happens. When enough individuals believe this, there will be a tipping point in the consciousness of all people involved in this violence, this will lead to peace. The past does not equal the future.... this means, stop looking to the past for a reason to hate and look forward into the future of peace. By shifting your perception it will form your ultimate reality. Visualise yourselves living in peace, and the path will be shown to you.
4. Problem with cancer is not obliterating it
David ,   Boston, USA   (08.03.06)
The Arab governments dont realize or dont care, or worse, want the cancer to spread, but not living up to peace agreements with Israel, not showing the cancer for the danger it is to their own people. Hezbollah, Hamas, IJ, Iranian government are all cancers that are damaging the world body. You dont appease it. You destroy it. You can destroy it through economic trade and education or through military, but you must destroy it. It might come back, but it take time for it to grow and get worse.
5. #2 & #1
AK ,   Ottawa   (08.03.06)
Israel started the 6Day War in 1967, not the other way around. For #1, Israel did once attack Jordan, and that resulted in a not too friendly terrorist organization called Black September. Behind the scenes he is probably Israel's closest ally in the region. Of course publicly he will use strong words as not to upset his populace.
6. king for now
Steve ,   NY, NY   (08.03.06)
Yes almighty one - that is why nukes or massive carpet bombing is the only solution to the Islamofascist pestilence -
7. #2
Steve ,   NY, NY   (08.03.06)
he fears for his own life - his words reveal the pee running down his pant leg - and only serves to empower the terrorists - hence, the only solution is a war to end wars - but do Israel and the US have the will...
8. If Hezbo sets up shop
Allan ,   Delray Beach, Fl   (08.03.06)
in Jordan Israel would, rightly, expect Jordan to irradicate it. If Jordan fails to do so, and it seems certain that it would, Israel would do it for Jordan just like it did it in Lebanon. I can assure his "highness" that he will not be pleased with the end result if Israel had to take matter into its own hands vis-a-vis Hezbo in Jordan. A little foresight on the king's part will prevent a great deal of potential agony for his people.
9. The little king repeating the liberal mantra
Rob ,   NJ   (08.03.06)
Isn't it funny how the little king is repeating the liberal mantra - peace is only achieveable by capitulation and appeasement to his Arab animals that he breeds? Little King if you breed the rats that multiply in Lebanon, you too will be destroyed. Mark our word, little man.
10. Hizbullah Coming soon to a theatre near you in Jordan
munzer ,   jerusalem-PALESTINE   (08.03.06)
I agree with his Majesty, I think he is the LAST king of Jordan..Israel's Eastern insurance policy for the last 60 years is about to expire..Mr.Efi in Tel-Aviv ( the first respondent in this talkback) says that " we (Israelis will hit Hizbullah in Jordan" This is the typical Israeli mentality that has shadowed the Israeli ruling cabinets since the country's inception, which resulted in "hurting" more than 2 TWO million civilians by Israel since then( according to Tom Segev). So the question to Mr. Efi and all the people who share his views is : when are you going to learn that by force and murdering Arabs you only fuel hatred for you and your very exitence. what do you going to do when the Katyusha arrives in Jenin and East Jerusalem? I know your bloody answer...wise up and smell the coffee
11. The Arab Street
David ,   Tel Aviv   (08.03.06)
Arab leaders say what their people WANT to hear. THe last thing they need is anger projected toward THEM. What is said in public and private are two very different things.
12. Abdullah should remember what the palis tried to do to daddy
Arie   (08.03.06)
13. How many times do i have to say the same thing?!? wake up!!!
Michal 15 years old ,   Israel girl   (08.03.06)
there are 2 communication ways..talking or fighting..and as i said befor talk is always the best to solve conflicts! but when it comes to a situation of talking with terrorists and to have a negotiation with terrorists it cant help by anything!! It's pretty clear the hizballah is the terrorist "goverment" of lebanon and it's even more clear that they start this war by kidnapping 2 slodiers and killing 8 more. everything could be the same as it was if they just werent doing it! what that im trying to say is:If Israel negotiat with the hizballah , the hizballah will try to blackmail us more and more... they want us to release their prisoners who are terrorists!!! and we cant do such a thing!! we cant let them hurt us all over again...we have the right to defend us and our people...that a naturall right that everyone can understand..
14. The little king
Jerry ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.03.06)
Take the little sheet off his head and he still behaves like a little sheet head. Israel withdrew to every internationally recognized border with Lebanon, and the Arabs still crossed the border to kill and kidnap - but does the little sheet head blame Hizbullah? He is no different than any other Arab leader - they all want us dead.
15. be responsible
(08.03.06)
Well than his Royal Highness should take care Hezbollah can not arm itself within Jordan. I am sure any other Sovereign country in Europe would handle like that. Can Hezbollah set up a group within Germany and arm itself with 10.000 Katyushas and Fajr rockets and Zelzal rockets? In England? France? No they can't. We have customs, laws. Same for Jordan and Lebanon. You want to be a sovereign modern country? Than be responsible for this shit in your countries!
16. David
Sher   (08.03.06)
As long as you agree that non-military means don't equal appeasement, I couldn't agree with you more. Killing hate through education and economic trade sounds good to me.
17. Israel to Arab World: Recognize our right to exist
MARK ,   USA   (08.03.06)
The problem is the Arab world in unity will not recognize Israel. Saudi Arabia has a peace plan and if it really wants peace, implement it. The Arabs refuse to do that. Iran wants to destroy the "Zionist entity".
18. to #2
Alex ,   Canada   (08.03.06)
King Hussain has to say that in public - most of hist population is watching Al-Jazeera that is showing over and over again the dead children in Qana. I have full faith in him to be one of the great Arab leaders, just like his father was!
19. Abdullah is partially right
s davies ,   jerusalem israel   (08.03.06)
The problems of the Middle East could be resolved. Let the Hashemites return from whence they came. That is Saudia Arabia. They were the rulers before being usurped by the Al Sauds. His great uncle was King of Iraq. Let Abdullah spend his time recovering his family's rightful countries, and leave Jordan (which as TransJordan was over 73% of mandated Palestine) to its rightful inhabitants, the Arabs of Palestine.
20. Resistance is a fals word to Hisbullah
Schulz ,   Berlin   (08.03.06)
Hisbullah is muslim (his) bullah (bulle) or allahs bulle.... also understand: muslim against alle world, thirst against jews, second against christians, because same God! Communists are resistance against nazis! It is fals word resistance to hisbullah! allah is not God for Life, allah is devil from death! Fear him not! Strike against him!
21. Concern
John ,   Edinburgh, Scotland   (08.03.06)
Amazing how they all love to condem Israel but why are they all silent to condem Islamic terrorist acts around the world
22. Mr British king just woke up!!!
Ayman ,   Haifa   (08.03.06)
WE are sick of all of you leaders kings and sultans and life presidents....
23. To #1 and #2 Jordanian Hizbullah
Tony   (08.03.06)
To #1 I agree with you we , you should strike Jordan to get rid of Abdullah, this CIA agent and Israel spy who did nothing for the Arabs (like his father).To #2 , I remind you that Teflon does not resist all chemicals.Some chemicals could melt Teflon and wipe it easily.This will be Abdullah's Fate.
24. Strike my a$$ :) Lefi
Abed ,   Amman, JORDAN   (08.03.06)
It seems that you're taking things emotionally here "Efi"! Read what "HIS MAJESTY" said again and reconsider your ... statement. One more thing, strike my ... :)
25. Peace and terrorists
David Anfinrud ,   Bellevue WA USA   (08.03.06)
How often has Israel given in to demands? Did they not leave Gaza to allow a Palestine state to start forming. What happened? Missiles and weapons start flowing into Gaza. Did not Israel leave Lebanon yet tens of thousands of missiles pointed at Israel. It is very convient to those around Israel condemn Israel for their actions of self preservation. Yet no one attempts to stop the terrorists from more killing. A palestine state can never happen as long as there are those who want to kill all Jews. Yet in the Arab community you only hear it is all Israel fault. Well I as a Christian who has looked and watched for years know both sides are not perfect. But the bottom line is the Arab community does not condem the killing of Israelies but glorifies it. The Arab community as a whole does not tell those who commit crimes or do evil in the name of Allah it is not right to do so. Until the Moslem world can face the fact there are those who wish to do evil in their name and start condemning it there can be no peace. The moslem world as a whole is to blame for letting things continue to go the way it has in the Middle East. I often hear that Moslems have a religion of peace. Yet your actions or inactions show a different story. You are not peaceful if you do not stand for rights of other faiths. As long as there are those in the Moslem community that believe only Moslems have rights and other religious groups do not have the same rights there will be problems. the lies I see from the terrorists well I feel sorry for them because I do not think Allah would approve. I know my God does not. Did not the Moslem faith come from the roots of Jews and Christians? Do we not worship the same God each in our own way? To the Moslem Clerics I ask is the way of the terrorists really the way of Allah. Those who kill innocent people are they really doing the will of Allah if he is a God of Peace. For centuries Jews, Christians and Moslems lived together through out the Middle east. Only since the 1900's has this changed. So to the Moslem Community I ask look at the past and has your faith been moving away from Allah due to wants and desires of individuals selfish desire for power. It is something to ponder
26. Whatever......
Joanna ,   Stanford, California   (08.03.06)
Whatever....Abdullah has no moral or legal leg to stand on and not even his father's stature. And by the way, West Bank inhibitants were treated far worse by his father (although for a good reason) than by Israel.
27. THE TIGHTENING NOOSE - GO NUCLEAR - AND BE DONE WITH IT
ANDREW ,   MIAMI,FL   (08.03.06)
THE SADDEST NEWS IN THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS IS NOT THE MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT THE SADDEST NEWS IS THAT THE BLACK RHINO WENT EXTINCT - AND WE HEAR NOTHING http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/36B1DE44-2594-4E7E-A893-41D0F69E69FB.htm 4% OF THE WORLDS SPECIES ARE GOING EXTINCT EACH YEAR - AND NOW - HUMANS ARE NO EXCEPTION THE ARABS ARE JUST DUMB ENOUGH TO THINK THAT DRIVING ISRAEL TO EXTINCTION WILL SOLVE THEIR INABILITY TO CREATE VIBRANT AND CREATIVE SOCIETIES - SOCIETIES THAT GIVE BENEFIT TO THE WORLD INSTEAD OF WELCOMING ISRAEL HOME - THEY HAVE TRIED TO KILL IT FROM DAY 1. WE WOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR BEST FREINDS - WE WOULD HAVE SHARED EVERYTHING - WE WOULD HAVE BEEN BROTHERS AGAIN ISRAEL - JUDAISM - THE JEWISH PEOPLE - AND ALL WE ARE CAPABLE OF DOING FOR THE WORLD WILL BE GONE. HUNTED TO EXTINCTION BY EUROPE AND ISLAM SO HAVE NO REGRETS - NO REMORSE - NO SHAME - NO APPOLOGIES - WHEN YOU PUSH THE BUTTON - IT IS THE ONLY OPTION THEY HAVE LEFT YOU.
28. Occupied Lands? Deep Solution?
Dee ,   Los Angeles, CA   (08.03.06)
When Hezbollah and Hamas talk about occupied lands, they mean Israel. Seems to me, the more land Israel turns over to Arab people, the more land they demand. King Jordan's "deep solution" sounds to me like the end of Israel. I firmly and resolutely say to my leaders and to the Israeli people: "Peace In Our Times" is a vicious pipe dream that will explode in everybody's face.
29. So?
Josh ,   Atlanta   (08.03.06)
Oh, you mean to tell me people hate Israel in other countries, too? What a revelation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
30. ISRAEL ALWAYS HAS ENEMIES TO FIGHT WHERE & WHEN IS TRIVIAL
