1. That's Jordan's sole reason to exist
BH ,   Iowa   (09.14.11)
And it's only claim to legitimacy - to be the "Palestinian" state.
2. Half? Try 3/4...
Daniel ,   New York, US   (09.14.11)
Over 80% of the Jordanian population is Palestinian, including the Queen and her children!
3. Not an extremist minority
withlove ,   Israel   (09.14.11)
But instead a significant part of the population which is neither extremist nor a minority believe that Arabs living in Israel should be part of so-called Jordan (which represents 72% of the former British Mandate).
4. But they're your brothers!
Koose E Mack ,   NY NY   (09.14.11)
Gee, amazing how no other Arab State wants the Palestinians. I guess they already have enough Shiite in all the region?
5. Jordanians burning US Flag
Alice ,   Montreal, Canada   (09.14.11)
They are doing what Arabs do best. .
6. American Flag?
jeff ,   Texas   (09.14.11)
Those white stripes are much wider than the red. And those stars... just a bunch of Xs. A little more detail into replicating the US flag before burning it would be a nice touch. Looks to me like their only going half way... It's almost like their heart is really not into it. Maybe they need a community contest for the best burnable US flag. With a prize or something. Just a suggestion.
7. A concept favored by
Israeli 2   (09.14.11)
every normal, logical and honest person throughout the world. For now, Jordan is Palestine indeed...until we shall return them all back to Saudi Arabia.
8. Why not??
Malone ,   Hfx   (09.14.11)
Jordan IS palestine....
9. Put out the fire
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.14.11)
send those fire fighting planes Israel recently purchased over to Jordan a put out this fire before it spreads any further!
10. Finally a GOOD American plan !!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.14.11)
JORDAN = PALESTINE
11. Jordan is a close ally of America...LOL
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.14.11)
The "Jordanians" hate America...!
12. Oh nice, somebody finally told them.
Ken Quinn ,   Amsterdam   (09.14.11)
13. Would be compromise. Jordan part of Eretz Yisrael.
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (09.14.11)
14. Perfidious partitioning of Mandate needs rectifying.
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (09.14.11)
15. Only BIG ISRAEL can bring balance and freedom to ME.
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (09.14.11)
16. time to cut off Dullahs allowance
A ,   Belgium   (09.14.11)
If Jordan wants the Americans out, they should take their $$'s with them. Will Oblabla have the balls to do it?
17. Let me guess - those protesting were Jordanian Bedouins
William ,   Israel   (09.14.11)
but the Jordanian "Palestinians" were silent and hopeful.
18. Now that puts Abdullah's tirade into perspective
William ,   Israel   (09.14.11)
I didn't know this about Wikileaks but it explains a lot.
19. ''....a concept favored by an extremist minority''
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (09.14.11)
Want to bet it's the mainstream majority? Only an extremist minority in Israel doesn't think Jordan is Palestine.
20. So let me get this straight.....
Jake ,   USA   (09.14.11)
Palestinians in Jordan are protesting a plan to give them independence? No one is that stupid. I would venture to believe that this is a state-sponsored protest.
21. :( ,...
split ,   US   (09.14.11)
It looks like a payback for our "bend over" politics and an unconditional support for a local bully ,...
22. Goal is Destroy Israel not free Pal's
yoni ,   tel aviv   (09.14.11)
the clear goal is to destroy Israel not free the palestinian arabs. If they wanted to help the Pals they would give them land and build a country instead they protest because they are afraid that if Jordan becomes a homeland for the palestinian arabs then Israel will continue to exist God forbid!
23. The real debate has now begun
Martin ,   SA   (09.15.11)
Hasmonian Jordan have been basking in the Middle Eastern sun for years and avoiding the real debate. We are happy to be rid of the troublesome clan in Ramala. Now they are being haunted as the real debate begins. Jordan and your king: its time to be a good neighbour and invite some of bedraggled brothers into your lager. Perhaps in your heart despite your monarchic structure you need to to start the debate. A bit of harmonising and accommodating would do the trick. Be brave and engage for your and the greater good. There is a place for every one under an honest and kindly sun.
24. The state of Israel
David Asleson ,   Minneapolis USA   (09.15.11)
This is a scary time for the state of Israel. Countries that are turning againest Israel that have been friends.
25. even Jordan recognizes the possibility of Jordan
bernard ross ,   st anns bay, jamaica   (09.15.11)
becoming Palestine. This idea needs to be in the media more. After all Jordan was created out of the mandated jewish homeland and it is an arab/muslim jew free state where jews cannot own land or be citizens. This is exactly what the PA representative said today he wants on more jewish land west of the JOrdan river. The more it is discussed and written about the more it can come into being. Jews educate yourself on the biggest land swindle in history against the jews by the british and europeans.
26. even the flags are the same
usa   (09.14.11)
Jordan is palestine is the easiest and the most normal and realistic two state solution.
27. that is after all the truth - Jordan is Palestine
Barry ,   Unholyland, UK   (09.15.11)
28. Arabs in the hood are a perfect "match"!
Joe Bic ,   Paris   (09.14.11)
29. Protesters burn Israeli flags
JUDAH THE LION   (09.15.11)
How can anyone call this peace with the Arabs, after buring Israeli flags, and the Israeli ambasadors of Egypt & Jordan have to flee for their lives.This is not real peace. There will never be REAL PEACE between Jews & Islam
30. Jordan = palestine
Diego ,   Brazil   (09.15.11)
Jordan is PART of Palestine. Hopeful the hashemites will be overthrowed soon, and Jordan will reunite again with West Bank, Al-Quds and Gaza, an secular arab state called Palestine. There's no other solution...If brews don't accept it...ONE STATE SOLUTION NOW!
