61. what if Abdullah falls victim to the arab spring
zionist forever   (09.12.11)
In Jordan 80% of the population define themselves as palestinians and as in all the other arab states the bulk of them are denied full citizenship rights. Right now Abdullah is doing everything he can to hold off a revolution which will cost him his throne but what if he was toppled? What if he was toppled and the 80% palestinian population take over and the ones who are not citizens are granted citizenship, then Jordan really would be a palestinian state. Maybe when that happens we really can push for the idea of a palestinian state in Jordan rather than Judea & Samaria. Its time for the US to stop supplying Jordan with military aid. If Abdullah is toppled and replaced by palestinians we could find ourselves in a position where terrorists have access to weapons like Javelin anti tank rockets and Stinger anti aircraft missiles, all of which Jordan has acquired through military aid. We may even find ourselves where the Jordanian military is swearing an oath of loyalty to Hamas or some other terrorist group so time for the US to end Jordanian military aid.
62. Stop quit being so smug...
moriah ,   sacramento usa   (09.12.11)
Last I heard nukes can't discern between Jew and Arab so if a nuke drops on Israel all your Palestinians brethren will go the way of the Jews and Jordan will be "smoked" so why the smirk?
63. Jordan's King's Mistake
Preston Venzant ,   Houston, USA   (09.12.11)
It must be an amazing thing to be born a king. I wonder how it feels. Yet in being born a king you can be the one who destroys your kingdom. It has happened alot throughout history. Israel is home again after almost 2 thousand years and all of thier neighbors have the desire to put thier hands on them. Fools all. Just as all the nations who ever put thier hands on them so it will be with this demented monarch who does not believe what he has heard about the God of the Jews. Amazing. He is about to move for the Jews again.
64. I sympathize, your life is on the line.

65. JORDAN IS AFRAID OF BEING OVER RUN BY
....DACON9   (09.12.11)
JORDAN IS AFRAID OF BEING OVER RUN BY THOSE ARABS CALLING THEMSELVES pailsitinian. As I hear it he has approx 28,000 arabs claiming to be palistinian ( by he way the romans gave that name to the JEWS 2000 YEARS AGO, NOT TO THE ARABS) in ''camps'' restrcting their movement in jordan which is a fake country CREATED BY THE BRITS and he is a fake king married not even to an arab woman. Queen Noor is more Anglo-Saxon than Arab. And the current Jordanian King's mother was originally known as Toni Gardner. Even when they do marry Arab women, they are usually Christian Arabs and British educated NOW DOESNT ISRAEL HAVE A GOOD PUBLIC RELATIONS BUREAU?
66. Proud of his backward country
Expert   (09.12.11)
Yet another leader of a backwards and primitive Arab country opening his mouth to make himself feel better.
67. Jerusalem
J Summers ,   Oklahoma City   (09.12.11)
Jerusalem shall NEVER be the capitol of any other nation, other than Israel. This is the Lord's command.
68. Jordan and Palestine
elHombre ,   Phoenix, USA   (09.12.11)
If Jordan had assimilated the so-called "Palestinians" 60 years ago there might be peace in the middle east -- or, at least, the pretexts would be gone and Arab anti-Semitism would be on display without excuses.
69. Arabs trying to unite and use Israel, again
Don Rosenberg ,   Palatine USA   (09.12.11)
as the scapegoat. The civilized world will need to confront the racist arabs sooner or later. They are, as a stupid people, looking to deflect their ignorance and inability to compete with civilized and intelligent people. Israel, I pray,must prepare for the next war and totally destroy the vermin arab muslim leaders and their ilk. The only proportionate respsonse is totally annihilation of the racist enemy.
70. Israel Or Obama?
WilliamPenn ,   Philadelphia,PA   (09.12.11)
American Jews must make a choice: Israel or Obama. It is impossible to support both. Every American Jew vote for Obama is a rocket into the heart of Israel.
71. the problem in the area is the Hashemite family
Frank ,   usa   (09.12.11)
May be it is the right time to retire the royals.
72. Palestine
Alex ,   Bimingham, USA   (09.12.11)
Egypt is palestine, and Lybia is palestine, and Iraq is palestine, and soon Jordan will be palestine. Saudi Arabia may soon be palestine too. Even France and Belguim, and much of Europe, may soon become palestine. All those who have been feeding the Islamist militant "liberation" cancer are all likely to be overtaken by the cancer which they have been breeding...
73. All of this is happening because...
BD ,   USA   (09.12.11)
All of this is happening because Obama threw Israel under the bus.
74. Oh! mighty King-Go revise your history
Samuel ,   Israel   (09.12.11)
In spite of getting your education in the UK, I see your knowledge is very limited.Don't ever forget the six day war,how you backed Egypt & Syria.There was reason to join them.Its a pity your so to say mighty kingdom was not fully distroyed.At the most try to be grateful to Israel for sparing your kingdom.Learn from the bitter past & stop taking sides with the PA.Israel is still helping you people with the agriculture know how & water.
75. At Selma - fatherland???
Salim ,   Brooklyn   (09.12.11)
Israel (Jerusalem) is not Palestinians fatherland, it's is the land of the Jewish people, and if you think otherwise please explain why no ancient artifActs or gravesites have ever been found in this Jewish homeland, and if you think the answer is a conspiracy then i ask you why you have not found any ancient artifacts in the westbank or gaza, I may have an answer to that question - Because its the Jewish homeland, - if your too ignorant to write a comment that makes sense don't write one at all, ignorance is the problem with Palestinians , they simply have no logic and cotradict everything they say.... It's a shame we live In a hypocrytical world that accepts there comments
76. Did he forget to say EAST Jerusalem? (END)
Daniel ,   West of the Hudson   (09.12.11)
77. #55-Learn true history-Palestine included
Don Rosenberg ,   Palatine USA   (09.12.11)
the Jews and the country of jordan. jordan is the pal.... for your friends the racist arabs. Most of the arabs came to Israel in the late 19th and 20th century after the Jews improved and grew the area. You probably believe they lived there 9000 years as the lying arabs say. Arabs rewrite history all the time to fit their agenda.
78. Life
Michael ,   Heaven, Universe   (09.12.11)
Unfortunately everyone that speaks about these situations sounds similiar to a child who watched another child take its toy. Other children comment, maybe throw punches and maybe the child will get his toy back and guess what? As he grows up he will lose interest in the toy and find something else and the cycle will go on. Please grow up already children. Maybe no one should have a country of their own since apparently no one knows what they are doing anyway.
79. Will Jordan join in the coming Arab war against Israel
Jane ,   Sebastian, USA   (09.12.11)
So, the King will do nothing. He will support Palestinian statehood w/o the recognition of Israel's right to exist. I say the King is a fool. God has chosen the Jews as his people. There may be war but those that stand against her will be defeated. It has been so in the past and it will be so in the future. The King will be as responsible as anyone for the coming slaughter.
80. Live in Peace, not pieces
steve ,   ottawa, canada   (09.12.11)
I would love to see... the Palestinians stop taking orders from instigators in other countries and throw some flowers over the fence instead of rockets. The Israelis donate some land and friendship aid to the new Palestinian state to help them on their way ( they need a university )
81. To #13 Seadog
Dave ,   Boulder   (09.12.11)
Since the vast majority of "Jordanians" are technically Palestinian (Jordan was a part of historic Palestine after all.) there is no need for transfer as you put it.
82. USA
jbspry ,   Charleston South Car   (09.12.11)
I hope the Jewish community in the USA is paying heed to this and learning the appropriate lessons. This is a result of Obama's desertion of Israel...
83. War of Words
JimmyUSA ,   brooklyn, usa   (09.12.11)
It seems that all Jordan can offer are words.
84. My Thoughts........
IMOGENE PHANTA ,   SIOUX CITY,IOWA USA   (09.12.11)
The Arab states sure are talking proudly. They must have forgotten about Israel's NUKES.... I hope if Israel is invaded and that they are about to be overtaken, that they push ALL the buttons and turn all the aggressor countries into GLASS!!!!!!!!!!
85. king abdullah
jabotinsky ,   ny usa   (09.12.11)
Thanks to the israeli left, and the left of the world yes a dangerous position. The left never gets it, they always seem to put jews in danger. They did it in the 30's in Europe by failing to arm.and listen to betar .Today they are just fools believing the idea that peace is possible. Peace is possible when you show strenghth, and when your enemy begs for it. Our torah has taught ,that through unity and belief in the almighty do we win and survive, not through fear, disunity and disbelief.
86. Jordon
tom dee ,   savannah GA USA   (09.12.11)
It is amazing how things change. Lieberman calls for giving arms to listed terrorist of the PKK and the banks are all in deep trouble. These disasters hopefully will get Israel to change because one this is for sure: Europe and the USA are broke and Israel will have no customers.
87. Depends for Men
BluesTraveller ,   WashnDC   (09.12.11)
he's suddenly wearing them
88. Jordan is the only alternative for a Palestinian state
Fawaz al-Qudsi ,   Halifax, NS Canada   (09.12.11)
89. Bomb
Sam ,   Bethlehem, PA, USA   (09.12.11)
Each side will annihilate the other. End of story.
90. The Truth
Wesley ,   USA   (09.12.11)
Jordan, rather the Hashemites and Brits, caused the crisis by usurping the "Palestine" that was agreed upon. Now the "King" will blindly fall into the mixer and be spit out with nothing. The next battle is foretold in Isaiah 17/Psalm 83. Jordan will not survive if they are battle participants.
