1. Jordan didn't build desalination plant, why Israel's fault?
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (10.23.18)
This means that Jordan violated the agreement.

Israel is still waiting for them to build the plant before buying the water from them. Otherwise what is Israel supposed to do?
2. Turning another cheek and begging,that's Israel

playing hardball with a fragile state can lead to great problems on both sides. much depends on leaders coming to some agreement that satisfies many and offends few. both sides will lose if no amicable agreement is reached. Jordan should temporarily extend agreement to give time for satisfactory negotiations. not optimistic.
4. I hear too many hidden (domestic) agendas in this article,
(10.23.18)
mainly "our govt" being responsible for all this...
Translation: it's Bibi's fault.
IF that is the truth, then indeed we've got schmucks for leaders!
5. Steve Benassi get your facts
Naor ,   Jerusalem   (10.23.18)
right.Jordan DID build the plant and opened it in 2017.Nowhere in the article does it say they didn't.
Another case of this government screwing up.I am all for a right wing government but could we have one that doesn't have members who spend more time on their egos and address why the heck they are where they are in the first place.
6. Screw humanitarian gestures. What did that ever get us? Turn
Incredulous   (10.23.18)
off the taps until the Jordanian king stops playing political games and gets serious about getting his people to accept the peace agreement, his father signed, and more importantly Israel and the Jewish People in their native land.
7. Being nice only goes TZOFAR.......

10. LET THEM EAT CAKE !
MARIE ANTOINETTE ,   SAFED FRANCE   (10.23.18)
11. This gesture being "absurd" is in full agreement with our
(10.23.18)
daily policy toward Muslim occupiers of our Land.
12. JUST SAY NO TO H2O
DA RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED RAP HOUSE   (10.23.18)
13. I DO NOT BLAME JORDANIANS
HENRY PISSINGER ,   SAFED WASHINGTON   (10.23.18)
Jordanians know Israeli leaders are weak and will always capitulate so why not play hardball ?
14. WATER AND RAIN
L.OCUTION ,   LONDON INNIT   (10.23.18)
The rain in spain falls mainly on the plain.
The water in Majorca don't taste like what it oughta.
15. Jordan doesn't trust Israel?
Brad ,   USA   (10.23.18)
Islamist Jordan? Where it's OK to lie for any purpose, and required to lie to advance Islam? Is that the Jordan we're talking about? Well, I guess the poor Jordanian boobies will just have to continue not trusting Israel. Haha.
16. good thing we built our own airport in Eilat
zionist forever   (10.24.18)
When we signed the peace deal in 1994 part the plan was to build a Peace Airport in Jordan which would serve both Jordan and southern Israel.
In the end much to the anger of the Jordanians Israel decided for security better to build its own airport rather than help finance one in Jordan.
If we had gone with the original plan there would be nothing to stop Jordan canceling flights to southern Israel if they wanted just like they have done with this land lease. ISRAEL MUST ALWAYS GO IT ALONE NEVER LOOK FOR ARAB PARTNERS.
17. time to unmask Jordan for what it is: the pals' state
(10.24.18)
18. The world,,,,
Julius ,   Baltimore, Md   (10.24.18)
tires and the Jordanians of the so-called Jew playing Hebrew in the so-called holy land.
19. Leasing Land that is ours to begin with!
Ariel ,   Rehovot   (03.19.19)
The "Peace" Agreement signed by Israel was absurd! Israel agreed to hand over territories that were its own but which the Jorsanians without any proof whatsoever claimed was theirs.
