2. Forget Jordan
Abdel Karim Salim ,   Jerusalem - Israel   (06.21.08)

The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.21.08)
... a "window for peace" was open. I'm not holding my breath. I know that we'll have to fight for our lands for generations, and I'm ready for it!
5. Typical diaperhead rhetoric!
Tony ,   LA, USA   (06.21.08)
No, it is not a nuclear Iran or its partisan Lebanon or Syria surrogates. It is Israels unwillingness to bow to terror and give away its legitamate land to its sworn enemies that's a problem. I say let the King give land for peace. You don't see raeli the donkey king giving any solutions except like all arab thought, let Israel give up land. Let Israel have their black september and kill the occupiers of Gaza like the Jordan monarchy did. Yes land for peace the Jordanian way, just kill the missle lauchers and take back the land. The king has no clothes.
6. 1 Yitzak: The American wife was King Hussein's wife, not
Rivkah   (06.21.08)
King Abdullah who married a Palestinian. For the peace process to succeed, the Palestinians have to be disbanded and sent to 22 Arab countries since Jordan does not want them after they tried to overthrow King Abdullah's father, King Hussein. The militant Palestinians should be put in prison in any country they are sent to since they want to overthrow the government of Israel, Jordan, Lebanan, and anywhere else they are sent.
7. King wants Israel to jump out of window and kill herself

9. Not now not in a 1000 years
mike ,   USA   (06.22.08)
The biggest joke in the world that israelis want peace. peace and Israelies does not sound right. you are the main threat not to the Middle east but the US and the whole world, you are like a foreign body in the region a cancer that should be treated very soon. Palestine for the palestinians, they will get it back even after a 1000 years.
10. door closing
(06.22.08)
don't bs the world king. you know only too well that the only DOOR CLOSING is that of all the arab leaders and you especially who have closed the door to your brothers and interned them in squalored concentration refugee camps for 60 years. you show me one group that is a refugee like the palestinians are, that has not integrated into the society similar to them (arab), that are astill fed by anwra and the eu. show me one people that are still refugees as your arab palestinians are. not a single one!
11. Between the Palestinians and the Jews of Israel
Ephraim ,   Bnei Brak   (06.22.08)
there is a war process, not a peace process. Between Jordan and Israel there is a war too; it deserves the denomination"cold war" because it is less murderous than the Palestinian-Israeli war, but the hatred of the Jordanian people is very real. The hatred of the Jordanian King for the Jews is confirmed by his use of the expression "peace process".
12. The rulers of the Hashemite Kingdom are very vulnerable.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (06.22.08)
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan will be the next victim of Hamas. 60 percent of its population are Palestinians, and the significant majority in Parliament are already Islamists. The rulers of the Hashemite Kingdom are very vulnerable. If Hamas gets the West Bank, Jordan can easily be swallowed by the blood- thirsty predator. The result of this will be the creation of a huge Palestinian formation on both banks of the Jordan river which will get in contact with Sunni Arabs in the east of Iraq and the cradle of Wahhabism - Saudi Arabia.

13.  THIS IS THE ROYAL DECREE AND SENTIMENTS
Norway   (06.22.08)
OF THE TWO KINGS OF JORDAN. "PALESTINE AND JORDAN ARE ONE" (King Abdullah in 1948). "THE TRUTH IS THAT JORDAN IS PALESTINE AND PALESTINE IS JORDAN" (King Hussein of Jordan, in 1981). "PALESTINE IS JORDAN AND JORDAN IS PALESTINE, THERE IS ONLY ONE LAND, WITH ONE HISTORY AND ONE - - AND THE SAME FATE" (Prince Hassan, February 2 1970) “THE PALESTINIANS AND JORDANIANS DO NOT BELONG TO DIFFERENT NASJONALITIES. THEY HOLD THE SAME JORDANIAN PASSPORTS, ARE ARABS AND HAVE THE SAME JORDANIAN CULTURE.” (Abdul Hamid Sharif, Prime Minister of Jordan declared, in 1980)
14. Excuse you
John ,   U.S   (06.23.08)
Jordan is Jordan and Palestine is Palestine. If the two peoples decide to share a country, then it will be in the form of a con-federation that includes Jordan, the West Bank and East Jerusalem and Gaza. A sovereign Palestinian state has to emerge first however. Israel should accept the Arab Peace Initiative which offers Israel full recognition by all Arab States. Of course, it won't, and this will come as little surprise to the rest of the world which is becoming more and more aware of Israel's intentions towards the Palestinians, that is: Take as much of the geography with as little of the demography as possible. Isn't this exactly what the Israeli's want ?
