The Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine
Alarabiya News ^ | June 8, 2022 | Ali Shihabi

The basically insurmountable power imbalance between the Arabs and Israelis, let alone between the Palestinians and Israelis, argues for a radical rethinking of the approach to solving the Palestine problem.

This latest Palestine peace plan from Saudi Arabia could actually lead to peace. Of course it was immediately rejected by the feckless and incompetent Biden administration.

DOA. This is no plan other than a fantasy by some Arab hack writer.

I don't know. There's no such thing as Palestine.

A ‘Palestinian’ was a Jew who lived in the Land of Israel before the 1960s.

The majority are Jordanian in ancestry. Jordan used to be called “trans-Jordanian Palestine” by the British. That’s as far as “Palestinian” goes, less than 100 years, and until 1948 they never used that word to describe themselves.

And where is that? Israel unfortunately signed the 1949 Geneva convention, and so cannot bus them over the Jordan river.

After turning our back on the Jews for most of the 20th Century (which led to 6+ million of them being murdered), we OWE it to them to turn a blind eye if they want to steal (back) a worthless little strip of desert (the size of Jersey) because they deserve the chance to fend for themselves for once and be the masters of their own fate.

And if the Muhammadans don’t like it, they can all go pound sand.

Jordan is Arab-occupied Palestine.

The only point I disagree with is that the Arabs (that’s what they are) of Gaza be joined administratively with Egypt - with which Israel has a peace treaty - and only the heavily non-Jewish parts of the West Bank be reannexed by Jordan, as Jordan did in 1950.

Jordan later fought a “civil war” with Arafat and Arafat was exepelled. Jordan lost control of the West Bank in the 1967 war. It later declared the West Bank was no longer part of Jordan.

If West Bank Arabs and “Palestinians” in Jordan were to become citizens of Jordan, together they’d be about 30-40% of Jordan’s population and a very large political voice in Jordan.

The one problem looking ahead to the a future enlarged Jordan would be a resurgent “Palesitinian” cause gaining political ascendency in Jordan and trying to reignite a Jordanian-Israeli conflict.
