But, I am beyond pissed. The non-submission of the names of the Israeli hostages until later than agreed upon. The non-delivery of the living souls later than promised. The admission, late in the day, that eight of the promised 33 hostages are "dead." And this admission comes after a huge number of terrorists with blood on their hands have already been released....What am I forgetting? How much am I forgetting?
And then, we have the Hashemite Kingdom's refusal to accept Trump's suggestion that they accept some Gazans. That's heartless, but they know who these "Palestinians" really are. They knew this back in the day. BTW: Jordan really IS the Palestinian state--but the Jordanian King slaughtered more Palestinians on September in 1970, known as Black September, than Israel ever had. (Go, look it up). And why? Because the Jordanian King did not want to live with such armed, murderous fiends within his borders.
Let Israel live with them. Why?
The fedayeen of 1970 have grown far more murderous, and have morphed into Hamas, PIJ, the PA, and further, into Hezbollah, the Houthis, etc. Why should only Israel have to remain surrounded by barbarian male supremacists, fascist Islamists, who continue to threaten 10/7 as a permanent way of death?
Jordan isn't exactly Palestinian. Much of the government and army is Bedouin. The king's family derives from Arabia, which is largely Bedouin. The Palestinians tried to overthrow the kingdom and take over, but Bedouin population fought back, with a little help from Israel. Many Palestinians were killed, and many left for Lebanon, where they fomented another civil war and destroyed the most cosmopolitan country in the Middle East. Is it any wonder no country wants the Palestinians? I don't want them in Canada, where they already seem to have taken over.
