This article is a perfect little snapshot of the Middle East from 1967 War til Lebanon civil war and some of the aftermath
Freepers who think Palestinians are the same as Jordanians especially should read this
Many but not all Palestinians are Hashemite descended but many here do t realize the first most violent Palestinian terrorists were Christian and in fact touch of their leadership till Black September and the Lebanese civil war was Christian Arabs because they had the cash to fund it
Black September ended that and it became more and more associated with Shiite Amal and What became Hamas....more Muslim and in fact fundamentalist Muslim and many due to Iran as their protector now have gone Shia
Palestinians are politically the arch enemies of the Hashemites and have been orphan proxies or pawns of every Arab power around Israel
Their presence destroyed once mostly Christian Lebanon
But Freepers who think they should just relax in Jordan haven’t read much on it
Which is why this is an advised read
For the record I don’t have an answer on the Palestinians now 70 years later and I doubt Trump does
They exist today as a political tool for Muslim leaders more than anything
The smart ones live in America now
I know a few Christian ones...
They may resent Israel winning the land but they sure don’t want to go back and don’t support Muslim jihad
I am guilty. The PLO was a nasty organization and the left loved that scum Arafat. Jordan seems like a decent ally in the Mideast. I am sure our Muslim resident Obama would have liked nothing more to overthrow King Hussein.
