Jordan's king urges Israel to adopt Arab peace plan     Amnon Meranda, Amman
1. These Polititians and ROyal IDIOTs want to be celebrities
Among the Israeli- Pal Crisis- and they have been talking an talking but nothing happens. King is desperate to keep his throne of Jordan ! Taking the lime light !

2. Wall Saves Jews: Does he care? No
The Wall saves Jewish lives, but obviously his Majesty does not care a hoot.

3. the hard part is for the Palestinians
to accept the Israelis rights and except that they will not destroy the Jewish state. It's the Palis that always miss every opportunity. The liitle king has it backwards!

4. Its All Israel's Fault
Where have I heard this before, the King of Jordan demanding Israel respect so-called Palestinian rights? Why did he not thank Israel for it's untimely withdrawal from Gaza (before a peace settlement that works) and from Lebanon (twice)? Why did he not "blast" Hezbollah and Hamas and Islamic JIhad for their criminal acts against Israel? Why dwell on the fence construction, when suicide bombers are still prevalent? Asking Israel to compromise everything without any enforcement on the other side, and chance peace, is like saying there is no civil war or insurgency in Iraq. Frankly, Israel should dismiss the Arab moves and start making it's own definite parameters, like no right of return, no dismantling of the fence, and no negotiations with Syria. Also, hows about Iran giving up it's nuclear arms program like yesterday, with no excuses. Again, Israel is wishful thinking by even talking to Abdullah. He spouts the usual Arab line...the Palestinians are angels, the Jews devils.

5. Some day Jordan itself will be building its own wall
between him and the peace-loving Palestinians next door, and the little king will have to swallow his words.

6. How Two Faced, He supports Hamas at the same time!
Yonatan Koss ,   Chiloquin   (04.19.07)
7. Reality Check
1. Jordan too has a border wall. Will the King take it down and allow his enemies to cross without protection? I THINK NOT. Only Jews are supposed to be defenseless. 2. Will the King keep the Palestinians that make up the Palestinin State of Jordan? That's why he is pushing this 'initiative'. Because he knows they are terrorists also. and he believes only Jews should be defenseless. 3. The Palis were offered a State numeros times. Their routine response is that they want us destroyed. Hamas, now in control, says it routinely that they will accept a temporary change but thatIsrael must go. 4. The "king" can go to hell!

8. Who made this little putz a king?
Britain gave away 80% of the League of Nations designated Jewish National Homeland to the Hashemite clan chieftain as a "consolation" for giving away the Arabian peninsula to the Saud gang of caravan robbers.

10. Arabs want to live in S. Arabia and Jordan
These two countries can solve all Arab problems in a second.\: Invite Arabs back to their homes in Arabia and Jordan.. Why Kings do not want this simple solution? ANSWER: They want to destroy Israel not less than Hamas/Abbas. Don't think for a second that kings do not want to destroy Israel. For those who say that the kings afraid that they will remove the kings after they come back to Arabia and Jordan, I have a simple question WHY"? Please answer, my friends.

11. Would These Abandoned Unilateral Moves Include
giving up more land to the terrorists? I sure hope so as we all know this has not worked. All Israel got in return for giving up Gaza and the other lands was an influx of Qassam rockets, tunnels through the border and indiscriminate killing of Israeli civilians. Some deal, huh? Arab peace initiative? based on what's been released to the media, I'd have to say that's an oxymoron as well. They want the dissolution of the Nation of Israel, they don't want peace. It is not about land, it never was, it is about the dismantling of Israel.

12. The GREAT LIE about "Palestinian" Refugees
www.EretzYisroel.Org Since 1948 Arab leaders have approached the Palestine problem in an irresponsible manner.... they have used the Palestine people for selfish political purposes. This is ridiculous and, I could say, even criminal. -- King Hussein of Jordan, 1960 Since 1948 it is we who demanded the return of the refugees... while it is we who made them leave.... We brought disaster upon ... Arab refugees, by inviting them and bringing pressure to bear upon them to leave.... We have rendered them dispossessed.... We have accustomed them to begging.... We have participated in lowering their moral and social level.... Then we exploited them in executing crimes of murder, arson, and throwing bombs upon ... men, women and children-all this in the service of political purposes .... [36] -- Khaled Al-Azm, Syria's Prime Minister after the 1948 war At the time of the 1948 war, Arabs in Israel were invited by their fellow Arabs -- invited to "leave" while the "invading" Arab armies would purge the land of Jews.1 The invading Arab governments were certain of a quick victory; leaders warned the Arabs in Israel to run for their lives. 2 In response, the Jewish Haifa Workers' Council issued an appeal to the Arab residents of Haifa: [See Official British Police Report ] For years we have lived together in our city, Haifa.... Do not fear: Do not destroy your homes with your own hands ... do not bring upon yourself tragedy by unnecessary evacuation and self-imposed burdens.... But in this city, yours and ours, Haifa, the gates are open for work, for life, and for peace for you and your families."3 While the Haifa pattern appears to have been prevalent, there were exceptions. Arabs in another crucial strategic area, who were "opening fire on the Israelis shortly after surrendering,"4 were "forced" to leave by the defending Jewish army. According to a research report by the Arab-sponsored Institute for Palestine Studies in Beirut, however, "the majority" of the Arab refugees in 1948 were not expelled, and "68%" left without seeing an Israeli soldier.7 http://www.eretzyisroel.org/~jkatz/refugees2.html

13. An interesting article by Saudi journalist
reproduced in part by Israel National News calls on Arab countries to absorb their population of Palestinian "refugees" and calls into question the practicality of demanding their return to Israel.

14. King of Jordan
That Jordan king is dumber than grits as the ONLY reason his kingdom remains or ever became a country in the first place is because Israel has kept his bordering countries from swallowing him up whole. Oh please! He owes Israel BIG TIME!!!
Sarah ,   USA   (04.19.07)
15. Arabs want land
Arabs want only one thing: Land. They either hate the Jews, or could care less about them, like the king here. Handshakes and smiles are nice. I say invite the Palestinian Arabs out of Israel into Jordan with economic incentives for leaving. Then there will be real peace.
Steven ,   San Francisco   (04.19.07)
16. Whenever and arab ruler speaks....
.....a host of Israeli poodles trip over each other to present themselves to listen. Enough!! Let these arab rulers make a gesture that emphasises a reach for peace before presenting Israeli delegates. These rulers always emphasise "full rights for the Palestinians". By this they mean nothing less than the right of return and a host of other things that will endanger israelis security wise. Conclusion: "No more jewish state!" Let us stop fooling ourselves!

17. #8 and putzes
MKs to go Jordan for serious talks with the head of state - and the best comment you can make is a shtetl-regressive sicko statement "who made this little putz a king?". Absolutely and moronically pathetic. Come on Kyle - raise your level of debate for once. Talk about the issues and try and leave out your genetic and innate distaste for Arabs. Exercise number one: try pronouncing the word "Palestinian" in front of the mirror every morning. One day you have a chance of becoming a mensch. Until then you are a just a knee-jerk blithering bigot.

18. Clever Arabs, calling a WAR plan a peace plan.
Since it IS a war plan. Dicatating terms to Israel, not negotiating, not compromising. I think the Arab empire is slowly colapsing from being held too tight. All ISrael has to do is wait it out. And Israel SHOULD wait it out and try to make peace with whatever Arab countries remain and with whatever Arab governments are around. I firmly believe there will be major changes. Jordan will be renamed Jordan Palestine and the need for another Arab Palestinian state will go away as a fooling experiment. Syria will not longer be ruled by the Alawites. Iraq will break up. Saudi Gammorah will become an Islamic terror state (oops, already is, but the government hides it.

19. AbUS$dollah, King of Delusion
They want Israel land for peace. They want Palis prisoners for kidnapped soldiers. They want Israel to commit suicide. and the King thinks he has a solution for peace.
john ,   nz   (04.19.07)
20. Arabs have done passing little to inpire the................
qualities of good faith and trust. It's a bit late in the day to finally start squalling about 'peace' and then dictate it's terms to the Israelis.
Cameron ,   USA   (04.19.07)
21. Rustum; Still obssesed with the Jews, pyscho!
Do you do anything other than think about the Jews every second? You should practice saying "Palestinian" and realize that the word is actually of Greek orgin and has connection to the Arabs. Then you'll realize that "Palestinians" have never existed!
Daisy ,   USA   (04.19.07)
22. #2 build your wall saving jews on your land.
no one will complain then. tell you what, build it on your land not occupied land, and the arabs are willing to fund it for you, you can have it a mile high. and you still dont get what everyone is complaining about the wall.

23. #21 thanks for the kind comments
Do you have anything to add to the debate? Do you know that a "putz" is? Do you think it is a good debating topic for #6 to refer to heads of state in that sneering manner as a "putz". I suggest you refrain from attacking me personally all the time, my dear. It's a free world - even in the US you have freedom of speech, so stop trying to control what people say. Your use of the word "psycho" to describe me, I take in the kindest manner. Please continue.

24. JORDAN murdered thousands of pals in Black September, LOL!
Wow, talk about being hypocritical. This king manages to ignore the very fact that they killed and murdered thousands of their "brothers" in an attempt to protect their country. DOES ANYONE NOT SEE HOW PATHETIC IT IS TO TAKE ADVICE FROM THEM NOW?!?! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_September_in_Jordan People, please wake up and realize there is no peace for Israel unless we continue to protect our war-won land. It is the only buffer we have for security from future aggression. Just accept it, we are on our own for now. Do not give them a single inch, not a single terrorist released, not any of our precious territory!!

25. Jordan crap
Abdullah should stop interfering in Israel's internal affairs. Instead he should accommodate the Palestinians, squatting in Israel and trying to usurp Israel's land, in Jordan where 70% of the population are Palestinians. Israel should say NO to all the Arab crap plan that is trying to usurp Israel's biblical and historic homeland which Israel liberated with her tears, sweats and BLOOD from the Islamist-Jihadist occupiers in the Six-Day War of 1967.

26. # 15, Arabs want land. Your hilarious
"say invite the Palestinian Arabs out of Israel into Jordan with economic incentives for leaving" wouldn’t it be easer for israel to deport the 4+ million Palestinians from their homes to jordan, place a $100 in each pocket and tell them to take a hick? must burn your ass god gave you land that wasn’t empty.

(04.19.07)
28. # 20, tell me more about Israeli good faith
tell me more about israeli qualities of good faith and trust. tell me more about the settlement that are growing, the land grab, the checkpoints, the house demolition, the 11,000+ prisoners. The wall encircling Palestinians cities with great big steal gates. tell me more about israeli good faith and trust. Tell me more!!!
papa jay   (04.19.07)
29. # 24 Historica Observer
"Do not give them a single inch, not a single terrorist released, not any of our precious territory!! " if this is the way you feel, then you fully and wholeheartedly deserve Hamas, Hezbollah , Syria and Iran. Best of luck to all of you!!!

30. Striking similarity in PA/summit
B"H It is very much the same ballgame with the Arab summit versus the PA. The PA Abbas has Hamas to veto any concessions, and the Arab world has Egypt and Jordan as the Abbas-like role, with the rest of the Arab league there to veto. The game is to get concessions from Israel. But Israel can play this effectively if skilled. The Arab countries need Israel now, and if Israel can work on the plane of purpose instead of immediately getting bogged down in the plane of details, it should help everything crystalize more cleanly. Only Israel can sort out the purpose clearly, and that is Israel's main value-add. If it keeps to its plane, Israel could fare well in the discussion. However, I hope Israel does not stoop below its level and get sunk because of it. Life is full of interesting challenges. We will need to see what this one will produce. So far it has produced Hamas which is not an adequate permanent solution and we would not want the states to get unduley roudy and end up with that Hamas organization at their doorstep on account of miscommunication.
