1. "King" Hussein should quit too!
nadav ,   tlv   (11.14.11)
He has no more legitimacy then Assad, in fact, even less so, since his dynasty is the only remaining monarchy installed by imperialist British forces in the Mideast! He rules a fake, artificially created country where the majority, so called "palestinians" live as second class citizens, while the ones in the West Bank were unilaterally disenfranchised in 1988 in just 1 day. Its the "King;s regime and the existence of Jordan that is a barrier to peace in the region! Real peace treaty: 1) Jordan=Palestine 2) divide the West Bank between Israel and democratic East "Palestine" (aka Jordan) 3) Gaza goes back to be ruled by a democratic Egypt THAT'S A LASTIN PEACE!
2. King Hussein
sarah ,   jerusalem israel   (11.14.11)
On the contrary, King Hussein should step IN--abolish the artificial entities called "Jordan" and "Syria" created to serve French and British interests, and rule both states under Jordanian law. This region was once all one Levantine entity (absent the coastal areas) and would be stronger for being one state again....and besides, we have a peace treaty with Jordan that could be grandfathered into the joint Syrian-Jordanian state.
3. I am Laughing and Scoffing...
Abdel Karim Salim ,   Jerusalem   (11.14.11)
Abdullah II the Hashemite , monarch of Jordan , should be the last one to criticize other Arabs, let alone give them advice... Does he know he is in the same boat as the other Arab heads of states ? Or perhaps he thinks the people in Jordan really love him and,thus,he is an exception here ! Why does n't he, king of Jordan , set the magnanimous example by stepping down instead of advising others to do so ?
4. we hope the end of this tyrant is near
Rami of Nazareth ,   Israel   (11.14.11)

8. abdallah Should Give BACK JERUSLEM
(11.14.11)
BACK To The TRUE Custodians, ASAP !!!!!!!!!!!!
9. #1 That is absolutely Stupid!
meir elazar   (11.14.11)
Jordan and most notably the current king's father had good quiet relations with Israel. Jordan is one of the most stable Arab countries. Try using Israeli logic and not Arab logic.
10. No intro
Saad ,   Jordan   (11.14.11)
I really feel sorry for those sick small minded people who make comments about Jordan and it's king, if we want palistine or isreal we can have it but what we really want is get rid off both you once and for all god willing.
11. Richard Silverstein Also Said bashar and saif
(11.14.11)

Hmmm bashar isn't even taking advice from so-called friends? Things Must Be FUBAR in syria. Who woulda thunk? So much for arab spring.
12. #9
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (11.14.11)
That's what they said about Egypt, within a week Mubarak was in jail and the Brotherhood was in power. The same will happen to the Hussein. Mark my words, when they hang him they will say he was a Zionist puppet and all his citizens hated him.
13. #10 saad
David ,   America   (11.14.11)
If you and others would take the time to look at what HaShem gave as borders of eretz Israel you will find that all the land of Jordan is actually Israeli land. It is now occupied territory but will soon be liberated by HaShem personally. You are living on borrowed time. If I were you I would be trying to find another place to go rather than barking silly platitudes.
14. #10 ha ha ha
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.14.11)
you are so funny . please keep your comments smart to yourself. yalla byyyyyyyye ya shater ; )
15. # 13 David, America
Moragh   (11.14.11)
CORRECT David, 100% correct. The march of the Russians into Israel will start the Armageddon off. They will be joined by their present 'haters', the arabs. There will be one helluva battle going on with all the arab countries joining up with Russia against Israel. The Lord God (thank God!) will step in and the Israelis will slaughter the lot of them to such an extent that it will take the Jews seven (7) long months until all the rotting dead bodies are buried. And the arabs don't want to know the Jews... hell! if they knew what they are in for, the arabs would be now kissing the feet of the Jewish people. All I pray and hope for is that I will not be around to watch all that. But time is gaining momentum and it's going to be in our time. Mark my words David or better still warn the arabs of their immenent doom!
16. Abdullah: Why don't you show him how it's done?!!
Yea   (11.14.11)
17. Jordan is not Palestine nor Israel
Talal Al-Khaldi ,   Amman, Jordan   (11.14.11)
Who said Jordan is a part of the so-called "Eretz Israel"? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Jordan has more legitimacy than the Israeli claim which bases itself on a potentially modified 3000 year-old scrap of parchment that nobody knows where it came from.
18. ASIA.
SJOERD RUURD VDV ,   MULTIVERSE   (11.15.11)
ALSO THE JORAD PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT ON A JORDAN FORM OF DEMOCRACY IF THE JORDAN PEOPLE WANT THAT WITH CONSULTING THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY OF THE GA OF THE UNO.
19. To all my arab cousins
Yossef   (11.15.11)
you despise us Jews, but you love in secret our democracy, isn't it? Hi Salma! How are you dear? ;-)
20. Jordans Crown Primce is Palestinian by his mothers side
Jordan Is ,   East Palestine   (11.15.11)
so that makes him the next king.... Jordan 78% of the palestine mandate, its population is 80% palestinian and its leadership are british colonial imports from mecca, with no prior ties to this region

john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (11.15.11)
"smart to yourself"-as per usual your post sounds that of a 10 year olds.
22. #7
Jonathan ,   MN/US   (11.15.11)
That isnt basic mathematics thats advanced insanity.
23. israel and palestinian issue
joe rkali ,   los angeles usa   (11.15.11)
if the jews and the arabs have love in their heart instead of hate I am almost shure they will find the solutions to their differences and Iwill pray for it
