They should take in all those people from their country in Israel that people refer to as Palestinians.

So much for Muhammadan brotherhood. This is the usual Muhammadan scam of trying to shift the entire refugee problem onto the Jews of Israel.

Why would you want to import a bunch of whiners that blow stuff up when they don't get what they want?
Jordan clearly doesn't want them.

Hasn't that always been Jordan's policy?

Right, Jordan doesn't want them because the Palestinian people's origin was mostly from the prisoners in Jordan.
Today's Palestinians are their offspring.

Hasn't that always been Jordan's policy? Pretty much, that's why Jordan keeps them in camps.

My exact sentiments. You beat me to it.

But Queen Rania is Palestinian, isn't she? You would think that would hold influence when determining the fate of the Palestians within Jordan.

But Queen Rania is Palestinian, isn't she? You would think that would hold influence when determining the fate of the Palestians within Jordan. From an influential Kuwaiti family. Kuwait doesn't want them either. They're more valuable where they are, in squalor.

Of course your suggestion that Jordan should be sympathetic to the plight of the palestinians makes sense, which is why Jordan has to reiterate their policy.

I KNOW you are right. It just angers me that no Arab nation will stand up and do what is right. They just use the Palestians as a tool.
I'm NOT defending the Palestinians actions regarding Israel. It's just difficult for me to accept that solutions aren't easily found.

I'm thinking that Jordan is figuring on the Palestinians taking over Israel and driving the Jews out, so that will make more room for all refugees---
The Israelis aren't cooperating, thats all--

At least they recognize the danger of unlimited border
crossers.
I seem to remember the little king did a number on the
palestinians a few years ago, with some reason.

I think Jordan has a case of what-goes-around coming.
