31. #3 is100% CORRECT and this article is
Iranian Jew ,   la   (11.04.11)
completely wrong. If Jordan becomes "Filestine", then there is no reason left for the Iranian mullahs to attack Israel or threaten it. Israel would be justified to attack first if the threat countinues. That is the only card they are sitting on. If that's removed then the mullahs will have to pack up and leave. There is a big difference between Iran and it's government. The government talks and talks but the real fighting remains to be seen. More than 60% will not fight or die for a cuase that they don't beleive in. The show on TV is nothing like how Iranians feel about war. The talk and the show the Ahmadinejad puts on is just a show & that's it. It's time for king Abdullah to invite and accept this if he wants to resolve the problem. Palis should concentrate on that instead of trying to kill the Jews.

Israel is also a soveiregn state last time I looked at the map. What is your point here? Countinue fighting or find a real lasting solution. I mean that is if you happened to have one. The world should fix what ENGLAND broke in 1917 and once for all. If Palis wnat their state then they must make a rough choice and take it up to their king. We all know that Muslims will not try to fight each other. So the status quo will continue for years. We have to just keep building!!
33. We are not your keepers
Nina ,   NYC   (11.04.11)
You didn't ask our opinion when choosing your 'homeland'. You made your bed, now lie in it and get off our backs.
34. #3 Painful Dilemmas...
With all due respect ,   Israel   (11.04.11)
I agree that the Arab-Israeli conflict will not be solved. It is true that we are in an eternal dilemma as long as Arabs want to destroy Israel and people of Israel stand and defend themselves. Viable solutions have been tossed around for years (mostly from Israeli side). The other type of solution coming from the Arab side...well that really hasn't changed. When will they come up with a solution that doesn't involve wiping Israel off the map?
35. Jordan was & is Palestine. Face issues at present
Hippocrates ,   Earth   (11.04.11)
moe than hypothetical issues in the future. Palestinian Arab issue far outweighs the hypothetical what if scenario. One is real, one is not.

solomon ,   bklyn   (11.05.11)
If Jordan becomes "Filestine", the arabs would attack anyway. A "Palestine" for the arabs (judenrien) has nothing to do with it. They have proved time and again that they want the destruction of Israel. Israel withdrew from Gaza, remember? And they receive rockets, mortars, terrorists...death, in return. Israel also withdrew from most of the WB, remember? The result was the same as when they withdrew from Gaza. They had to go back in, and afterwards build the wall. The arabs keep their 'brothers' in camps for political reasons; and its working. And if we pay attention, we can see that Muslims are fighting each other all the time.
37. To 22, Chaim
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (11.06.11)
Dear Chaim. Your comment is wrong and it denies all the good principles that inspired Israelian independence and her struggle for a peaceful life. Imperialism is awful. Do you want to annex Jordan? I don't believe. As a friend, I repeat: Israel will prevail, not only through strong armed forces, but, foremost, because of her decency, her humanism and her attachment to the rules of God Almighty.
38. #26 SJOERD
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.06.11)
Jordan was an artificial creation of Britain, you should look up its history before displaying your ignorance
39. one-state solution
Serge ,   Montreal, Canada   (11.07.11)
On what basis should there be separate states in Jordan and West Bank?
40. Israel and the monarchy
Talal Al-Khaldi ,   Amman, Jordan   (11.07.11)
I can totally tell that Israel's wish is to maintain the monarchy over the backs of Palestinians who currently live in Jordan. It's a win condition for Israel: They want to purge Palestinians from their place and dump them into their friend's (Jordan) backyard. If the monarchy was lost, the Palestinian majority will then create a country that's almost 4 times the size of Israel. Jordan is still not Palestine in the political sense, but in practice, I see that I live as a minority in my own state. That's why I still despise the kingdom's role in protecting Israel's longest border.
41. from the last
Palestanian ,   Jordan   (11.08.11)
Palestine for Palestanians and Jordan for Jordanians , So dont think too much because you will harm yourself , also i know and believe that all arabs agree with me .
