31. OMG! I can’t believe what I am reading. Massive delusion (2)
Harry Wright ,   UK   (04.17.10)
Nuclear arms race? Well Khameni only recently said that is against Islam, so OBEY him and let Achmedinejad set the guidelines as he is already doing at his 2-day nuclear conference. "We will have a problem"? Sorry, you already DO have a problem and it is Iran, not Israel. I don't hear Israel threatening Jordan, or Saudi Arabia. But I see Iran waiting to show off its weaponry to intimidate all of the ME and not a damn dog will bark. "We will guarantee your security"? Abdullah and the other "moderate" Arab nations can't even guarantee their own security, far less Israel's. That is a HUGE joke. "You will be part of us"? Who is "us"? And "you" refers to whom? Because the Israelis will be in the Mediterranean Sea. More fundamental - how can Israel be "part of us" if it is not even recognised, far less equal to be part of??? If the situation in Jerusalem stirs "up the Arab and muslim world" then their priorities are really off base. Too bad! Abdullah just mentioned regional "havoc" over nuclear arms and now he is bothered about Jerusalem? These Arab leaders' minds are a total MESS and they create their own problems. Now, they can't even solve them on their own so they are hoping others will solve it for them. Abdullah's entire rhetoric is to provide support for Obama's bullying which is coming soon. His statements are SERIOUSLY FLAWED and this, coming from the leader of a nation? SHAME ON HIM.
32. Jordania will vanish
Luis ,   Madrid Spain   (04.17.10)
This man is lost and blid, he has not "wisdom". Jordania will be Israel, the Lord said in the "End of the Times"
33. #27 - vardina
eporue ,   europe   (04.17.10)
the jordan king hasnt forgotten, he said, that there are elements who want war and bloodshed. it is very difficult to keep those elements under control or even fight them, as long as israel acts in a way, which supports their ideological violence. nobody says, every evil will stop with an agreement, but it will set them checkmate big time. it will give a basis, to work against them together. as long as there is no agreement, stabilisation of the situation is not possible. the king says two things: (1) the arab world is stretching out hands to you. to help you. (2) external mediation is vital for a solution. when negotations failed in the past, then it doesnt mean they will not work today. many things have changed over the years, changing many peoples view on the situation - also those of the arab world.
34. Jordan is Palestine
Ralph Levy ,   USA   (04.17.10)
I hope Israel makes Jordan a Palestinian State this time 80% Palestinian ruled by a Hashimite minority is one reason the conflict has ran so long. Also Obama and the EU will be responsible for the next war with Iran and Hezbollah because of their Pro Arab stance. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com
35. AFTER TO ESTABLISH PALESTINE ! ISRAEL STILL & FOREVER ....

36. Coiled snakes on every side.
B.E. ,   Whangarei, N.Z.   (04.18.10)
Why does this guy always look like he ate something he picked up in the paddock?
37. If free elections were held in Jordan
moishe ,   usa   (04.18.10)
A Palestinian would win and you would be hanged or living in Texas . You are lucky the world lets you keep your skin.

39. eporue, 1 out of 35 TB's with common sense and vision...
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (04.18.10)
...the other 34 the same old tired wingnut hogwash that has no validity in the outside world whatsoever. As I have myself written many times now, most of the time not being posted because of the imposed information lag in Israel, the Arab Peace Initiative this year, right up until the very last minute was almost pulled! Now you may all huff and puff, but that would put the basis of the Road Map into danger, and pretty much unleash the floodgates of hopelessness that already lurks under the surface due to Israeli intransigence. Better heed the King, this ain't 1967 anymore. There is simply no guarantee that Israel could stave off a sustained and well coordinated attack by many well armed governments in the region. Puffed up bravado aside, the US has its hands full already with two wars and relief efforts and a military presence in nearly every country in the world, Israel could be beaten senseless to its very knees before the cavalry comes. And you have insulted that very cavalry so many times in recent years, it might not come that fast.
40. Give up Israel or else!
BJL ,   usa   (04.18.10)
The boy king says so. Give up and let your guard down. The arabs will be your friends....honest!
41. #33
L. Ron Hubbard ,   United States   (04.18.10)
"it is very difficult to keep those elements under control or even fight them, as long as israel acts in a way, which supports their ideological violence." Oh, you mean EXIST!
42. abdullah and his butt
marco ,   pardes hana israel   (04.18.10)
sure you're scared a little bit o'king in the event of iran fiting missiles at Israel some of them may miss their target and bomb your butt instead!! start digging a huge hole to hide in like your pal nutzrullah up north. Or better yet go and join him.
43. #2: He did not mean war between Jordan
Vardina   (04.18.10)
and Israel. Don'g get too enthusiastic....
44. King Abdullah
Mark ,   Los Angeles, usa   (04.18.10)
If these terrorist nations want to start a war with Israel it would be smart not to launch a missle at tele aviv. I would hate to see small neclear weapons used on them.
45. The Arabs tragedy !
The friend   (04.18.10)
The arab nations are struggling pretty much : economically, socially etc. Like the jordan king - most of them put the blame simply on the people of Israel and commit themself to fight and destroy Israel ! Tragically this attitude only increases the problems of the arab nations : the money spent for weapons cant be used for the arab nations basic needs, every war is another tragedy for everyone involved. The solution to the arab tragedy is written for many years in the scriptures : ''He who blesses Israel will be blessed !'' Arabs - if you love your nations, you have to try this it out, at least ! Otherwise the blame for your tragedy is to be put solely on yourself !
46. You know eporue, I am a professor giving grades to posters
Michael Hess aka BS ,   Charlotte, NC   (04.18.10)
because I teach yellow journalism at Duke, and you are one of my best students in my How to Hate The Jews Harder course
47. Atilla is 1 out of 44 TB's with practical M.E. experience
Michael Hess aka BS ,   Charlotte, NC   (04.18.10)
telling it like it is that regardless of the presence of Peace Arabs will never let Israel alone therefore Israel does not need the kind of Peace Arabs offer.
48. Jordan a “Western-oriented” country ?
Ron B. ,   Lod   (04.18.10)
A Jordanian court recently summoned twelve European citizens to answer criminal charges of blasphemy and inciting hatred. Critics of Islam face the imposition of a death sentence, “if the charge is blasphemy and it is being tried by a sharia court. This isn’t a joke. It isn’t sufficient to avoid assisting to Jordan. It means the condemned “libeler” needs to be careful to avoid assisting to any third country — even just a stopover at its airport — that has an extradition treaty with Jordan. It also indicates that Jordan — which is lauded as western-oriented — expects Muslim law to be obeyed by Europeans. The only reason to the existence of Jordan at : http://xrl.us/omvbu
49. King Abdullahs words are taken very seriously.
Ernest ,   USA   (04.18.10)
An agreement between the Israelis and Palestinians would be wonderful. I don't believe anyone wants to see Palestinians, Israelis or anyone suffering wounds or fatalities. It's a pitiful shame when the innocent suffer. Maybe there can be an added grassroots effort started very soon. The people deserve not to be worried and things to be worked out.
50. Small chances from little king
Ilan ,   Ariel   (04.18.10)
Yes the sky is falling King chicken little
