31. Do we CARE if they never come back? NOOOOOOOOOO.
Lalalalalalala ,   Israel (forever!)   (01.25.12)
What they hell are we doing even talking to them. We understand clearly what their goal is. Get what they can through talks. Use that to attack and get the rest. NO WAY.
32. Jordan = Palestine
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (01.25.12)
33. Jordan committing an act of war against Israel? Oh my!
Jake ,   USA   (01.25.12)
Please Mr. Abdullah, I implore you to commit an act of war against Israel. When the IDF topples your regime, and installs the PA in your place, Israel's festering Palestinian problem will be reduced to a mere border dispute. How wonderful it will be.
34. Jordan is Palestine
john   (01.25.12)
This Hashamite False King and his familly should and must go back to their roots somewhere in saudi Arabian desert where they are truly belongs.
35. Paper Treaty
Joe Sombrero ,   USA   (01.25.12)
Peace Treaty's are only worth the paper they are written on.
36. SHOOTING HIMSELF IN THE HEAD, NOT FOOT
EZRA THE PROUD JEW ,   USA-ISRAEL   (01.25.12)
If Jordan rolls down the path of sanctions against Israel and distances itself from them, they become the official state of palestine and will wind up absorbing all of the refugees, which was bound to happen anyhow. Say goodbye to the little hashemite kindgom: th charade is over.
37. HM Abdullah
WadiAra ,   Israel   (01.25.12)
I wonder why so many commentators refuse to undertstand ( not the sane as agree with) another point of view. Maybe if we could do so we wouldn't be in this never-ending conflict. Maybe we should add 'listening' to the national curriculum.
38. How to avoid jordanian sanctions ?
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (01.25.12)
An excellent idea for Israel : from tomorrow introduce the strickest freeze in building dog's and cat's houses in the West Bank.
39. zionistan is in africa
eretz uganda ,   birobijan   (01.25.12)
all you guys who claim palestine is jordan: the land of the people of the land are indigenous. palestine was never an empty land. look into the mirrors. you dont see semites, but a mixture of many races. while looking at palstinians, you see semites who had probably jewish ancestors.
40. Abdullah reminds me Peter Sellers movie
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.25.12)
THE MOUSE THAT ROARED
41. Ynet reader #26 yes it's the law
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (01.25.12)
According to US Aid policy - aid to Jordan is subject to them keeping their peace treaty, just like Egypt, Violate the treaty and no money. That is American law. The is over half of Jordan's income opps!
42. For someone who revoked
leo ,   usa   (01.25.12)
Jordanian citizenship from Palestinian Arab refugees King is exceptionally judgmental. How about showing to Israel and to the us all how it must be done, Kind Abdallah, sir.
43. #39 r u making it up as u go?
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (01.25.12)
What was the currency of the so called indigenous PAlis? Who was their first king or dictator? Where are all the ancient artifacts? And so on and so forth. Oh there are no of these ! Sorry but either you have fallen for the Arab lies or you are rewriting history!

@#38 Istvan...dialogue best ...lisa @yahoo, remember
46. JORAND IS PALESTINE (EAST)
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (01.26.12)
Israel is finally building a fence between itself and Jordan. It is anticipating the worst, after Iraq disssolves into 3 warring parties to the East. Jordan illegally occupied Western Palestine in 48, thrw the Jews out, and handed land to the nomads. Its Pales community is getting resless. But Jordan IS PALESTINE., as created by the Brits. Realistically, it can do nothing..to israel. A tie with Iran, is a tie with the devil. The little king is a pompous ass. Again, JORDAN IS PALESTINE, and that must be our approach. The W. Bk is part of greater Israel..G-d given. to the Jews, not the Caanites, Philistimes, or Jebusites. Its in our bible folks.
47. They Want the Caliphate, Not Peace
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (01.26.12)
The Palestinians were kicked out of Iraq, or kept in camps to the north of Israel. They have some freddom in their real homeland, Jordan. Jordanis 6 times the size of Israel, with borders on Iraq and Syria and Israel. The Pales in Western Pales are playing with fire..Abbas thought he could gain points by sitting around a table in Amman. No one expected each side to give..and why should they? So now Jordan is willing to play with the devils in Iran..which itself has a problematic future. And what will the King do, make a military treaty with Ahmad, allowing Rev Guards inside? Does he remember the 67 and 73 Wars? Is he willing to sacrifice his regime for Ahmad? Remember, Israel has 500 nukes..including land mines, which can be placed on its borders. The Arabs are frailing away, reaching for an answer..w/o any compromise with Israel. As Bibi said, a demilitarized W. Bk and a Jewish state to its West..and there can be peace. Adjust the borders..somewhat with land swaps..and its solved., assuming the Muslims want peace and NOT A CALIPHATE.
48. "Dont Tread on Me".
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (01.26.12)
Look everyone, Israel won 3 wars, which if lost, there would be no discussions or threats now. Its that simple. Cant we all get it into our heads. The Muslims want Palestine (East and West) with all its Jewish achievements, They see the malls , factories, condos, chemical plants, and military..and want it for themselves. Jordan attacked Israel in 67, after pleadings by Golda. They killed hundreds of Jews before overrun. by Dayan. No Jew remained and every religious institution was desecrated after the 48 War. 67 ended that. The king seems to have forgotten his history. Jordan is, in fact, Palestine, part of the Mandate, meant for we Jews, but given to his people as a goodwill gesture. Okay, so lets compromise. Israel is Jewish..with borders to Jordan. Jordan is Arab, with borders to Iraq and Syria. It is 6 times the size of Israel...and can hold millions more Arabs. A relationship with Iran, is he crazy? Iran is headed towards a major war with Israel, the US and the West..its only a matter of time. The EU now is concerned over Irans nukes..NOT Israel. BTW , see Wikipedia for Israel's WMD. All you anti-Zionists and pro-Pales Jihadists..take heed. "Dont tread" on we Jews..get it into your heads.
49. I certainly hope...
Howard Immanuelson ,   US   (01.26.12)
that when Jordan downgrades their virtually non-existent diplomatic ties with Israel that Israel starts by cutting off the water they sell to Jordan.
50. peace
azad582002 ,   canada   (01.26.12)
irael is not sincere and does not want peace
51. King Abdullah II is WISE
John Smith ,   Amman   (02.04.12)
Israelis better listen to Jordan's respectable King. Israel has to put up with 10 million Palestinians inside Isr. and around it as well as those in Jordan, Syria & lebanon alone. Soon Israel will have to put up with 300 million Arab islamists in the region Not counting Turkey, Iran & the Taibans - others. Israel could not face few thousand Hizbullah fighters .Better come to your senses and go for peace or else you shall pay a heavy PRICE.
52. john #51 peace
arne ,   chicago usa   (03.09.12)
with who?If the kings so smart, he'd best find a safe haven for his wife and children.Times not on his side. Maskals moving back into the neighborhood. Who needs enimies with friends like him. I'd sleep with one eye open if I were he.
