Swarms of refugees from Iraq and Syria, along with the rising Muslim Brotherhood, may bring the Arab Spring to Jordan. A growing reality of the nightmare of refugees from Iraq, from the Palestinian Authority (PA) and from Syria swarming across the borders to Jordan, along with the growingly influential Muslim Brotherhood, threaten the kingdom’s stability, researchers report. “Within the Kingdom and across three of its borders, unfolding developments carry far reaching implications for the region in general and Jordan’s stability in particular,” according to Oded Eran of the Institute for National Securities Studies (INSS). King Abdullah faced minor but unusual protests earlier this year, particularly from Bedouin and other Arabs who previously fled Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley during Arab-Israeli wars as well as under the PA regime. Another ingredient in the boiling Jordanian pot is Iraq. “The U.S. final withdrawal from Iraq may cause anarchy there, which in turn will increase the flow of Iraqi refugees to Jordan,” Eran wrote. “More than half a million people fled to Jordan in the wake of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, exacerbating economic demands and inflationary pressures,” he added. “Ongoing Sunni-Shiite tension may draw Jordan against its will into the conflict, as occurred in 2005 when a Jordanian suicide bomber killed 127 Iraqis in Hillah, mostly Shiites, approximately 100 km south of Baghdad." The violence in Syria already has spread across the Jordanian border. Syrian soldiers shot at a girl fleeing to Jordan earlier this week, and Jordanian forces rescued her and shot in the air. Last week, Jordanian soldiers arrested a youth for allegedly for helping Syrians to buy arms, and he died in jail, prompting street protests. Thousands of Syrian protesters have flooded Jordan, and the success of the protest movement may fan flames in the kingdom.

The phased plan, official PLO policy dating to 1973, calls for the overthrow of the Jordanian govenment and unification as soon as a "palestinian" entity is established. No reason Jordan can't be taken first, the order isn't important.
The current king has even less backbone than his father.
Thanks Jack Hydrazine.
On the one hand Jordan is/was part of Palestine and vice-a-versa, until the British drew their own lines to hand a favor to a Shiek (and his family) [from outside the area] to whom they were unable to “give” a greater prize.
Were a truly “moderate” Jordan, in league with Israel, the dog that ate his own tail (the west bank of Palestine), instead of the Palestinian tail wagging the Jordanian dog, a more peaceful transition of “Palestinians” to a peaceful coexistence with Israel might have some greater possibility (not a guarantee).
We may only have the opportunity to ask G-d for that chance.
Do you remember what God said about Ishmael?
He said he would be violent against everyone. There’s no such thing as a ‘peaceful’ Muslim.
