Jordan is not “Palestine”. The “Palestinian” Arabs are not native to there and they freely admit it. Zuheir Mohsen declared that the “Palestinians” intended to annex Jordan once they had achieved the goal of conquering all of Israel—that’s why they call Israel “Palestine” and not Jordan.

The Arabs have had 70 years to make the “two-state solution” happen. Instead of working with the rest of the world to accomplish a peaceful resolution, the Arabs wage war and incite violence.

Obviously it’s just not a workable approach or it would have happened by now. So it’s long past time to abandon the idea in full.

The only solution is a one-state solution. Israel gets Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem. Egypt gets Gaza. The rest of the Arab world gets to learn to live with it.

Not defensible for Israel to have Egypt in Gaza. The Muslim Brotherhood’s already infiltrated (Hamas).

The Arabs have only wanted a one-Caliphate solution. That is the motive behind the Arab League and pan-Arabism, which is a national-socialist ideology.

While we were in Jordan, we did not openly discuss our Christianity.

In Israel - we didn’t make a big deal out of our faith - but in some of our most personal visits - our faith did come up (as part of why we were there in the first place - we were there on a medical mission trip).

As to their reaction, most really had no issue with our faith. Many expressed thanks that we were there - even those who did not receive services.

Of particular interest, we received a warmer welcome from Palestinians than Israeli Jews...

This is in the back matter of my 1950's Sunday School King James Bible

... emphasizing that Palestine is a geopraphical designation, and is largely comprised of Israel, although you'll note that Jordan is there with the orange.

My point is that the whole idea of a Palestinian State is nothing but a cynical ploy to lay claim to the territory of modern Israel.

For certain we need to stop sending them money. It either goes for weapons or to Swiss bank accounts.

My point has always been that there can never be a true peace between Palestinians ( meaning the descendants of endemic Arabs who once lived on those lands, who once owned property and once had political rights and a culture) and Israelis who claim an ancient heritage and have established a distinctive , modern, prosperous Jewish state on those same lands. Real peace will only come when one or the other, regardless of temporizing agreements, ceases to be a definable political entity.

"Jordan is not 'Palestine'. The 'Palestinian' Arabs are not native to there . . . that’s why they call Israel 'Palestine' and not Jordan"

The Israeli region is called Palestine because the Roman Emperor Hadrian gave it that name in 135 A.D. after the second Jewish revolt. It was propaganda to name the land after Israel's enemies, the Philistines.

Before the modern state of Israel was formed in 1948, "Palestinian" referred to Jews in the region. Many of the Arabs were recent immigrants who came to participate in the thriving Zionist economy.

In 1950, Jordan annexed the West Bank, so they annexed responsibility for their Arab brothers living there. The Palestinian Arabs in Judea and Samaria -- no matter where they originated -- became Jordanians in 1950. Jordan itself did not exist until after WW1, and Jordanians are not ethnically distinct. In ethnic and cultural terms, the "Palestinian" Arabs are equally Jordanian.

Not quite, but in a pan-Arabic sense. But Jordanians are ethnically distinct insofar as the descendants of Lot are not the descendants of Ishmael.

The “Palestinian” Arabs still do not regard Jordan as “Palestine” versus Israel. And they never will.

Not to mention that the Ottomans never used the name “Palestine”, to boot. The entire Levant was southern Syria under their geographical designations.

Their concept of an Arab Palestine is built on fantasy. Whatever they think of Jordan, Jordan has a unique responsibility for those Arabs and should take them in as full citizens.

It’ll never happen, due to that ongoing dichotomy. “From the river to the sea” is the pan-Arabic chant until they’re stopped.
