His majesty King Abdulla II has criticized Israel for what is going in the west bank, he was direct, honest and up to the point. In an interview just few days before his majesty heads to the states, in a visit where Mr Obama has more time to worry about the Middle east, after sealing two important deals, Healthcare at home, and Nuclear arms treaty with Russia.
The timing and the content of the interview were not pleasing for the Israelis, A columnist in Maariv newspaper has poured his anger on the kingdom, listing what he thinks Israel favours on Jordan and giving a strong support for the "alternative home solution", in the long list in his article the most important point I've noticed, Is the following:
ان مسؤولين كبارا في السياسة والجيش والجامعات يطبقون الافواه لاسباب مختلفة لكن الادراك الهادئ يسعى الى مبدأ اريئيل شارون وهو ان الاردن جزء من دولة فلسطينية.
The interesting thing is that we have been fooling ourselves since 1994 by telling ourselves that the peace treaty has put an end to the "alternative home" option, while the matter is still being discussed between Israelis, the only change was that they stopped telling it directly for us.
Jordan is not weak, we have many cards to play, opening our doors to Hamas will freak the Israelis out, the last thing they need is Hamas on their eastern borders. Also, cutting the technical support to 3abbas military groups will give them harder time in assuring that the west bank is controlled. Before that, unifying the internal front, and having ALL Jordanians in one solid and firm line against the plans and make them aware of dangerous intentions, this wont be done without bridging the gab with the national and Islamic opponents who have been a genuine part of Jordan's people.
Bottom line, we are going to witness tough days, we need to be alert and aware of what threatens our existence as a country facing one of the most extremist governments in Israel.
"opening our doors to Hamas will freak the Israelis out"
o truly wish that would happen, and let's see what they will do, as for unifying the Jordanian, i guess although we come from different places and some times we don't share the same opinions but in tough times we stand as one and that was clear in the time of the September attacks and in the time of Gaza attacks, anyway i do agree that we are going to live some hard times,
Welcome to the blog Dina.
It's clear that Jordan needs all options, we should never let others take us for granted
