You can ask it in another way too. For now ignore all the other Arabs but just focus on the Arabs of Jordan.

Is there even an iota of difference between those Arabs who call themselves Palestinian and those that call themselves Jordanian (ruling family excepted but I’ll get to that).

They are related sometimes as close as siblings. Same language. Same religion. Same every single thing.

If they already have a nation called Jordan - in two thirds of mandatory Palestine- why do they deserve a second- or third if Gaza is separate.

The rulers of Jordan, the Hashamites, were imported by the British from Arabia. That family is so diluted today by British and American blood that they are hardly Arabs. And if they are, well guess what, the current Queen is called a Palestinian.

Watch the movie Exodus, produced in 1960. No one blinked an eye when the only people called Palestinians in that movie are the Paul Newman character and the other Jews. Arabs are never called Palestinian, because no one in the period of the movie- 1948- or when it was made called Arabs Palestinians. They were called simply Arabs.

You can use that date as a benchmark. Only seven years later, after the 1967 war, when Israel won the territory the Arabs held unlawfully for 19 years without creating another Arab Palestinian State was Palestinian nationalism born with plane hijackings, terror and murder.

Palestinian nationalism is a construct of Western appeasement in the face of terror. That first creeping then accelerating appeasement has led us directly to 9/11 and our ever increasing genuflecting to Islam.

Thank you. No.

Palestine was divided into two territories. Jewish palestine was renamed "Israel" and arab palestine was renamed "Jordan". They prefer to obscure this, now, for political reasons, and also to obscure the fact that they have a foreign royal family. Arafat was an existential threat to the Jordanian government because of his claim to represent palestinians. If he represents palestinians, then the Hashemites lose their throne. Which is why they drove him out without mercy.

Jordan is arab palestine. Israel is jewish palestine.
