If the world is serious about ending Palestinian suffering, it must hold Arab rulers accountable for deliberately sustaining this conflict.
For decades, Arab nations have positioned themselves as staunch supporters of the Palestinian cause, yet their actions suggest otherwise. Although they publicly denounce Israel and advocate for Palestinian rights, behind closed doors, many Arab leaders have systematically worked to prevent a permanent resolution to the Palestinian issue. Nowhere is this hypocrisy more evident than in the refusal of most Arab states — particularly Jordan — to integrate Palestinians, despite historical, demographic, and geopolitical realities that make Jordan the most viable Palestinian homeland.
Jordan is historically part of Palestine, with the majority of its population being Palestinian. Given these facts, Jordan should logically serve as the natural homeland for displaced Palestinians rather than advocating for a separate Palestinian state in the West Bank or Gaza. However, the Hashemite monarchy, which has ruled Jordan since its creation as a British protectorate, actively disenfranchises Palestinian Jordanians, maintaining them in a second-class status while simultaneously portraying itself as a champion of Palestinian rights.
Western policymakers often justify Jordan’s treatment of Palestinians by referencing the events of 1970, when King Hussein used the Pakistani army to crush an attempted PLO takeover. However, declassified White House documents suggest a different perspective. Then–U.S. secretary of State Henry Kissinger viewed the idea of Palestinian self-rule in Jordan as the chance for a solution to the Palestinian question. In a White House memo to President Nixon, Kissinger argued that a Palestinian-led government in Jordan could provide “a Palestinian settlement.”
Nixon did not support the concept. This allowed King Hussein to enlist the support of Pakistan, which sent troops to Jordan and swiftly suppressed the Palestinians, killing thousands of civilians. With that, the prospect of a Palestinian state in Jordan

The PLO only seems interested in causing trouble wherever they go.
When the Palies lived in Jordan, they tried to overthrow the government of Jordan, so Jordan kicked them out in 1970. The Jordanians don't want them back. Other Arab states don't want them either.
Palestinians are the leaches of the world.
They have been offered peace many times.
They refuse only wanting the destruction of Israel and the Jews.
I think Tunisia kicked the PLO out too.
The best thing that could happen to Gaza is an asteroid.
It’s ours.
The Palestinians are their own worst enemy.
And twas ever thus.
Palestinians have one job skill: trouble.
The Palestinians tried to assassinate the King of Jordan when they were there as guests.
They were driven out and went to Lebanon and destroyed that country.
They are poison.
The Palestinians are the Arab world equivalent of the Mariel boatlift. Kick out all the troublemakers, criminals and insane, and dump them on Israel’s doorstep. Problems solved! Israel and Palestinians.
Many of us are old enough to remember all the airplane hijackings, the Munich Olympics, and the Achille Lauro cruise ship hijacking where Jewish American man in a wheelchair, Leon Klinghoffer, was murdered by the hijackers and thrown overboard.
Or all the kidnappings. I have two Lebanese friends that were kidnapped by them.
Also, remember the Anglican peace envoy Terry Waite?
They’re not fully evolved... chromosomes missing, and everyone KNOWS it
I’m pretty sure there must be one or two lying around somewhere in our arsenal 😁
Which is why they ought to be relocated to Somalia! Just another warring tribe there.
“I think Tunisia kicked the PLO out too.”
The Palis should go to Ukraine and help fight the Russians. Or go to Russia and help fight Ukraine. Either is fine with me.
Besides just wanting the issue, like race hustlers, they also know that “Palestinians “ are nothing but trouble in their countries, ask Lebanon
Are there no deserted islands anywhere? Send them on a 3-hour tour.
Correct. Palestinians are the trailer trash of the Middle East. Everywhere they are displaced to, they create dissection and internal conflict by design. That happened to Jordan. It happened to Lebanon.
…..and it happened to Dearborn.
I don’t blame King Hussein in the least.
