A US-based human rights group criticized Jordan Monday for stripping the citizenship of nearly 3,000 Jordanians of Palestinian origin in recent years.

Nearly half the kingdom's 6 million people are of Palestinian origin and Jordan fears that if Palestinians become the majority, it will disrupt the delicate demographic balance.

Concerned about increasing numbers of Palestinians in the country, Jordan in 2004 began revoking citizenship from Palestinians who do not have the Israeli permits that are necessary to reside in the West Bank.

Exactly. Jordanian as a national moniker for the inhabitants of an Arab pisshole is a political construct of WWI power politics arranged by the victors.

Ignorant, tribal, bloody savages by any any other name would still be ignorant, bloody, tribal savages.

Oh, forgot, ignorant, muslim, murderous, unreasoning, insentient, worthless, hopeless, bloody, tribal savages. Not that I have any strong feelings about them.

Gee, I hope they do well. They deserve whatever kindness Allah can provide.
