If I remember my history, Palestine was to be partitioned between Israel and Jordan.

The original partition plan had "the west bank" part of Israel, but when Jordan attacked Israel when it became a state, they annexed it.

The Jordanians got tired of forking over funds to the Palis so they set them loose to go their own way w/o Jorndanian funding. After all, the Palis kept biting the Jordanian hand that fed them.

Wow is that an understatement. After an unsuccessful attempt at overthrowing the Jordanian government, Jordan massacred the palis and ejected them out of the country. Google "black september." The terrorist group took their name from the events.

I remember Black September and the six day war. The blowing up of the hijacked airliners and Entebbie. I remember that Jordan got fed up and kicked the Palis out.

It was still a few years later before Jordan finally cut the financial cord and said “See ya” to the Palis.
