Thousands of Jordanians took to the streets on Friday demanding an end to the country‘s 18-year-old peace treaty with Israel.

According to a report by the dpa news agency, in a series of nationwide protests, demonstrators urged Amman to cut ties with the Jewish State.

The protesters burned Israeli flags and chanted “death, death to Israel”, the report said.

The protests took place in seven cities across the country, and the protesters urged authorities to expel the Israeli ambassador from Amman, chanting “no to a Zionist embassy on our land.”

Protest organizers, including the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood and youth movements, told dpa the demonstrations came as a direct response to King Abdullah‘s recent nomination of Prime Minister Fayez Tarawneh, who served as a key figure in the 1994 Jordan-Israel peace process.

This is the best scenario I can think of of that old saying : those who don’t learn history are bound to relive it. Jordan talked like this before and got their asses kicked bad in just a few hours when the sky fell on them

Problem is (for us), Jordan has an allie they didn't have before.

Thanks for the ping. Jordan is a Psalm 83 participant.

Demented muzzies—they could push Israel into the sea forever and they still wouldn’t be satisfied.

Demented they are, when they get what they want,
Israel will end up taking the Sinai, half of Jordan,
Gaza and Half of Lebanon.

Then declare 2012 borders and say that’s it unless
you attack us again.
