Another Tack: (Trans) Jordan is Palestine

If anyone can lay claim to consummate mastery of the thriving art of history-forging, it's the Jordanians. Their entire state, nationhood and very identity are counterfeit. Had the international community not been sympathetically predisposed to lap up the lie, Jordan obviously couldn't pull it off. Its wholesale fabrication hinges on a world that contentedly collaborates in hoodwinking itself.

So deceit blithely marches on.

Its latest installment is the artificially concocted kingdom's decision to strip untold numbers of Palestinians of Jordanian citizenship. Those who were Jordanian for decades suddenly aren't. It's like the infamous Soviet encyclopedias' loose-leaf pages, which were removed and replaced with the latest authoritative versions of what once was.

The past is ever-malleable in the service of current agendas.

The European nation-state model and the post-Ottoman Middle East never really worked out as planned.

Yes, of course it is. But Jordan doesn't want the "palestinian" Arabs, they just stripped those living in Jordan of their Jordanian citizenship. In the name of peace, of course.

Yes, that apparently is a core "principle" of just about every despotic regime and despotic movement, not only in the Arab world, although Arabs are notorious for it.

It's sometimes referred to as "revisionist history," and it's even infiltrated the US through leftist politicians and deteriorating education.

The fact is that only the Turks could make the Arabs opeacable..Ask some Muslim Arabs if the Tirks should control, say..gaza, and their eyes get as big as saucers..

Thank you Sheik Yerbouty. Perhaps if the Turks and the Arabs could get together for a St. Alfonsus Pancake Breakfast, all the pesky details could be worked out!

“Posthumously Arabizing these Jebusites presumably establishes an Arab claim to Zion. “

especially when a willing world needing oil is appeasement minded.
