1. Your grandpa said the opposite
jordan is palestine   (09.12.11)
Jordan was made of 78% Historic Palestine, 80% of its population are palestinians, the queen and the king's children are palestinian. What more does it take?
2. Scared Arab fool
David ,   Haifa, Israel   (09.12.11)
3. He is right
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (09.12.11)
Abdullah said something very important. Thanks to the Oslo Accords, the situation in the Middle East has changed. Israel is scared because thanks to the Oslo Accords, we are closer to genocide than ever since 1948. In 1992 Israel was strong, she is now weaker than the non-existent Palestine and the failed state of Jordan can threaten us. And to think that these threats of genocide come from a man who signed a peace treaty with Israel.
4. I thought the joker wore white face paint & a purple suit
zionist forever   (09.12.11)
I do love his little comment that Only the Joker would make comments like. Jordan and the future Palestine are stronger than Israel is today. I would love to see Jordan going up against the IDF. It would be the most one sided conventional war since Desert Storm when Saddam Hussain went up against a US led coalition. He is right Israel's situation today is more difficult than ever but whilst Bibi is not blameless the main reasons are Abbas and hus stupid stubbornness, As Hamas call him Abu Hussain ( Obama ) and his weakness because he wants to appease the muslims and last but not least the arab spring. Abbas has refused every offer at talks Bibi has offered and Obama like a parrot has rather than telling Abbas you will talk he goes back to Bibi and says Abbas refuses to talk so I am going to punish Israel. Now thanks to the arab spring in an attempt to appease the mobs the weak governments are basing their policies on opportunism. After the palestinians go the the UN General Assembly and get a non binding resolution which neither Israel or the US recognize then the caretaker government in Egypt will come under pressure to tear up the peace treaty. If the Muslim Brotherhood win alot of seats in the coming election not only will we have no peace treaty but there will probably be alot of war talk and Egypt openly supporting terror .. Hamas are already planning to move from Syria to Egypt. In Jordan Abdullah is desperate not to be the next victim of the arab spring. With palestinians making up 80% of his countries population Come September 20th if Israel doesn't accept the General Assembly resolution he will come under pressure to tear up the peace treaty or risk losing his throne. Please Abdullah if you don't have anything useful to say, which arabs rarely do then say nothing at all.
5. Straw hat of thiev's had is on the fire
Avram Goldsmith ,   Toronto, Canada   (09.12.11)
One wolf in sheep skin when they flock starting to show their realy indentity. Jordan state was establish on Israel land and exists just because Israel counterbalance all the threats against it. This the way hat this midget king shows his appreciation?????
6. Sure King Abdullah, wink-wink ;^)
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.12.11)
7. Jordan will be renamed Palestine very soon
usa   (09.12.11)
Inshallah
8. Listen to your dear ally,
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.12.11)
the future belongs to Palestinian people. If we can not create victory today, we must not create defeat ourselves. The only real solution of the Palestinian question lies in the return of the Palestinian people to their fatherland. whether you like it or not there is no alternative to returning home. You may laugh now, but when it happens sure you'll remember me if you're still alive.
9. Israel will defend its rights
Susya Bar Dror ,   IL   (09.12.11)
as every other country in this world. Despite the constant threats and pressure to delegitimate Israel.
10. Abbas is really fat
WOW ,   JB   (09.12.11)
He doesn't look like a poor starved Arab to me
11. No such thing as a Jordanian OR a Palestinian....
American Mike ,   from America   (09.12.11)
They are all Arabs. That means they came from SAUDI ARABia (Abdullah is Hashemite). People from France are French, Americans are from America....
12. Mr. Abdullah you are right. Turkey, Egypt, Jordan next?
Ibrahim ,   Turkey   (09.12.11)
Israeli is today unfortunately like an "ugly" duckling in the pond. All thanks to some night club bouncer turned Minister.
13. It's about time Abdullah said something about
seadog1946 ,   Arthur Kill, NJ   (09.12.11)
all the calls/support for the concept of "Jordan is Palestine" which means exactly what, for the Palestinian Arabs living under Israeli occupation in the West Bank. It seems to me that what the proponents of "Jordan is Palestine" seem to be implying/not-talking-about is ethnic cleansing, population transfer, repatriation, transport to the east or whatever other term that can be used to prettify the true intent.
14. porcupine strategy
moshon   (09.12.11)
abdullah says israel is scared. He is partly correct though a major hypocrite. Each one of the adversaries on their own are scared of israel but together puff themselves up and try to intimidate israel. And they are partly successful. Peres, beilin, barak, olmert, livni, ramon and baidovitz and evey reporter in haaretz run scared and guess what concessions concession concessions off the sliver of land and then we can live as zsimmis. On the other hand, galant, eisencott, lieberman, ahronovitch, landau do not run scared and hold their ground. The holocaust taught jews to stand fast and hold your ground. erdogan has a big mouth and talks big and tough. He should be careful what he wishes for because israel would fight to the finish and there is some honor in that. As opposed to barak who begs panetta for help and cries tsunami all over the place. Hold your ground israel and do not back up.Bibi has signed his demise by hitching his wagon to barak who could not be elected to any position by israelis who loathe him like halutz.
15. Jordan is Israel also, but they can use it for Palestine.
Barry Soetoro   (09.12.11)
Deep down the King knows it, and he's running scared, and is trying to convince us that it's Israel that is.
16. May be he meant that Israeli who is sane today?
Jew1 ,   Ashdod   (09.12.11)
17. Who cares
Mahmood Yasein ,   Cairo Egypt   (09.12.11)
The hell with them, and the hell with you. King ha ha ha. You should also be scared,because people like you,we do not want in our country.
18. lying bastard
(09.12.11)
if you so much support the palestinian rights how come you still keep them in concentration camps called refugee camps, do not give them right to get jobs, right to work in jordan, right to vote, right to free education and right to citizenship???? after all, the bulk of your population, 78% is palestinian.
19. no no no
(09.12.11)
israel is in fact very strong, monarch!!! it is you who is scared of palestinians wanting to get into jordan and demanding the rightful citizenship they deserve in your country. after all 80% of palestine was allocated to you in the formation of trans jordan, a palestinian state. you accepted it even if you were a tribe of beduins from saudi arabia and never ever lived in palestine. the un brits in their perfidy gave you a slice of what the mandate promised israel, 80% of mandated palestine. and they let the jews only have the last 20%.
20. Jordan an artificial creation. Like much of the Middle East.
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (09.12.11)
Looking across the Middle East, there are only three countries that have a historic legitimacy - Israel (Judea), Iran (Persia), and Egypt. All the rest are artificial creations going back only a century or two at most. Even Turkey, remnant of an extensive empire, has a problematic history. That certainly holds regarding Jordan - created by the Brits, and lead by a group with roots in Arabia's Hejaz. Abdullah's country may be stable today, but its fundamentals don't bode well over the long-time.
21. the anti- jewish people start to open their mouths lately..
Shalom ,   Israel   (09.12.11)
first Ardogan, then Egyptians now abdullah.
22. Abdullah the joker
Menachem ,   Israel   (09.12.11)
Firstly, it is not customary in the civilized world to threaten your neighbors, but I forgot that your ilk don't belong to the civilized world. Secondly, without Israeli assistance, the fake Hashemite state would have been already destroyed by PLO and Syria. Thirdly, Israel could if it wanted seize Jordan and PA in no time so don't make a fool of yourself and your little third world desert fiefdom.
23. #8 salma, can you tell me were did the palastinian people co
hadad ,   U.K   (09.12.11)
come from? look at the history, stop laughing at your self you suffered enough ,made us suffer made the world suffer. only becouse you dont want to aknolage this reality.
24. To the jews in Palestine
Adel ,   Skövde   (09.12.11)
Pack n GOOO
25. to Salma
anat ,   jerusalem   (09.12.11)
Salma, 1st: no jew could return to his homeland after 1948. Don't forget that they were kicked out of their (muslim) country that year. Your arab fellow left by their own will. Please, please please go to a bookshop (possibly not in Ramallah but any other part of the world), buy yourself a history book and read. 2nd. Yes you are right, there will be a war. I am sure one day there will be a conflict, and many of us perhaps will die, but remember that God loves Israel and uses Israel to show himself to the whole world (that's why we suffer many times, we are like the eldest child). Who's side you wanna be? I choose God
26. hey
(09.12.11)
hgbhguhfu
27. Abdullah on Palestinian rights
Spencer ,   Israel   (09.12.11)
The little king supports all the rights of the paestinians except those palestinians who live under his rule in their real homeland. What this king has done to the hope of Peace in the ME would make his late father turn in his grave. King Abdullah is scared of his own shadow and more scared of the Palis who live under his rule. He will never be half the man his Late father was.
28. #8
Spencer ,   Israel   (09.12.11)
You will always be remembered for the fool that you are. By the way, there is NO PALESTINE. Where do you really live? Probably a long way from the ME.
29. What is he REALLY saying?
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (09.12.11)
The Arab world is a mess, our countries are imploding, crazy fanatics are everywhere, I'm really worried, my throne is not very secure, the idea of Jordan becoming Palestine scares the crap out of me, the damn Israelis, why is their economy so damn strong, how can I get rid of more Palestinians, what a bunch of trouble-makers, this UN thing is all Abbas' fault, that moron, this could all back-fire on me, oy vay, I have a headache.
30. #1 & #7 Oh Me Oh My!
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.12.11)
It seems you assume this Palestine will be a good friend to "Israel" . just say inshallah , lol
