You are an idiot to even think that peace was avoided because Trump sided with Israel on East Jerusalem. The Arabs do not want a Jewish state in the middle east period and they have lost more than three wars trying to remove Israel. All of this was before Trump's East Jerusalem pronouncement. Can't stop you from being anti Israel, but at least learn history before making stupid claims.
2. And I guess this fact is too much for Israeli Left?

3. Never forget Arch of Titus
Mr. joey ,   near los angeles   (06.16.19)
It is just too difficult for me to forget how syria/palestina was created from Judea and Samaria by a roman emperor. I will never yield to another modern day Arch of Titus. Although IMHO we must continue to strive to have human compassion. Long live The IDF & Jabotinsky's Wall Of Iron. I believe we will have our Judea and Samaria again and flourish for another thousand years.

5. Jordan is Palestine?
blabla   (06.16.19)
Its always fascinating to see how complete foreigners want to tell other people what they are. The Palestinians are "Fakestinians" and dont actually exist, Jordan is actually Palestine etc. How convinient.
I guess is you dont mind then, when the Arabs call Israel a country of European/Kazakh Invaders.
6. Jordan is Arab Palestine
tiki ,   belgium   (06.16.19)
Actually it's Israel, but as Arab Palestinians need to live somewhere, this division will do!

Someone should tell the little luxury king that he's an obstruction and needs to go!

A 2 state solution is what we need.....not 3 states for a group of Arab Palestinians, Jordan (Palestine) + W-Bank (Judea/Samaria) + Gaza (Hamastan).....'and Israel as an option'......, after which they can continue killing each other, as they do in every other Arab country.
7. Jordan, Egypt, Iraq and US are parts of Biblical Israel

8. A REMINDER OF HISTORICAL FACTS !
FO ,   Belgium   (06.16.19)
The League of Nations indeed accepted Britain's proposal to limit Jewish settlement for the time being between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River (including the Golan heights) cutting off "Transjordan", 77% of the Mandate Territory. This decision is quoted under Article 25 of the "Mandate for Palestine". But the League of Nations never approved Britain' decision to create, in sin, a country called Jordan. As 14th of May 1948 put an end to the British Mandate for Palestine, Article 25 became null and void! Israel can request by International law not only Judea and Samaria, but any portion of Jordan in case of security necessity!
9. Such nonsense.

"After Israel’s creation in 1948 Jordan absorbed more Palestinians than any other country, with some estimates that they now account for more than half the population."

Well, Jordan (then Transjordan) should have thought about that before joining the Arab countries in invading lands that had been part of Mandatory Palestine in 1948.
Transjordan had itself been part of Mandatory Palestine, but declared independence in 1946. It had no right to invade and annex lands west of the Jordan in the 1948 War, and ethnically cleanse the entire Jewish community of Gush Etzion and the Old City of Jerusalem.
10. It's the Pals+other Arabs who bug everyone for a solution.
Sam ,   Montreal   (06.16.19)
Then they say no to everything because the only thing acceptable to them is the Jewish state disappearing. That's not going to happen so the Arabs should stop whining and bug off. If they try war they will be smashed again because Israel is a technological giant and they are prehistoric savages.
11. IT IS ABOUT TIME. LET PAILS KNOW WHO REALLY STOLE THEIR
Iranian Jew ,   LALA LAND   (06.20.19)
Country. Let ABBAS and HAM ASS fight it over with the short king over who gets Jordan. Have fun, you boys!
