'Jordan is Palestine,' MK Eldad declares at embassy

handful of Israelis marked Jordanian Independence Day on Tuesday by attempting to present the Jordanian embassy in Ramat Gan with a petition to make the country the official national homeland of the Palestinian people.

The initiator of the petition, Arye Eldad (National Union) said that the petition "requests that King Abdullah declare Jordan as the national homeland of the Palestinian people. His father said Jordan is Palestine, Palestine is Jordan. Unfortunately Abdullah doesn't want to follow in his father's footsteps on this."

Eldad added "there is already a Palestinian state in Jordan. 80% of the Jordanian people are Palestinians, and it is built on 65% of the Jewish homeland allocated in the Balfour Declaration and given to us at the San Remo conference. Once the Palestinians lose their orphan status as a people without a state, their international demands will become much weaker."

He also invoked the recent popular revolutions in the Middle East, saying "If what happened in Tahrir square happens in Amman we could find in a single day that on our eastern border there is no Hashemite Kingdom, but a Palestinian state controlled by 80% of the public."

Everyone knows that is the truth.

After WWII, there were 50 MILLION displaced people — all were absorbed in less than a generation.

Yet, fewer than 1 million so-called “Palestinians” are not accepted by their “brother” arabs (especially from their ancestral homes of Jordan and Syria) in 80+ years.

The so-called “palastine” problem is the result of the islamic imams wanting and needing a festering sore to use as an example of the “evil west.”

Jordan more specifically is East Palestine and Israel is West Palestine.

The Palestinian people [do] not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism.

For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa. While as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.

it’s more than the truth.
Jordan -IS- “Palestine”.
it was specifically created for them, out of even more land that had been promised to Israel, by another binding international agreement, that wasn’t honored.
(that probably most people even here don’t know about.) maps show it here about 2 minutes in:

thanks for posting that quote! i was looking for that, when i was explaining to someone, that when Gaza and West Bank were controlled by Egypt and Jordan, there were not cries for “independence” by the “Palestinian People”.

There is no distinct “palestinian culture” no distinct language, no museums , never a land known as “palestine” run by “palestinians”.

The word was created by Romans in 70 A.D.

They are Arabs from Arabia.

This BIG LIE continues the same way that they try tell everyone Obama is a Natural Born Citizen ( he is a Native Citizen).

“They are Arabs from Arabia.”

Nah they had been there for centuries. They were non-Jewish residents of the land. Several times in history, someone said “All Jews get in this line” and they marched them away. Everyone left was a “palestinian”.

The land of Israel flourished for 1500 years.

Suddenly there was a horrible drought for 1800 years.

Just as suddenly the drought ended and the rain returned.

For the 1800 years of drought there were destructive earthquakes.

The earthquakes ended as the rain returned.

As the Jews began to return to their Land,
the rain began as suddenly
as it ended 1800 years before.

actually, Para-Ord.45 is correct.
as you would know, if you watched the 6 minute video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gUygq_RtgQ

and Will Rogers wrote about how few of them there were.
but you are partially correct, they have been there for manycenturies... since the Arabs conquered and enslaved the middle east. killing and forceably converting the Christians there. Much of the New Testament, was writing in Turkey and other places that are 99% muslim now...

You`re wrong.

The Arabs were brought in by the British as the British systemically reduced Jewish immigrations quotas.Between 1950 and 1967 Egypt and Jordan flooded the west bank and gaza with more arabs. Some still have dual passports today.

The so-called “palastine” problem is the result of the islamic imams wanting and needing a festering sore to use as an example of the “evil west.”

It wasn't the Imams at first, it was the political leaders like Hussein of Jordan, and the Saudi Royal Family. Later, the Imams found a use for the disaffected young men. They became a steady supply of troublemakers, who were morphed into terrorists.

King Hussein didn’t want the people from ‘Palestine’. He preferred to keep them locked up in ‘refugee camps’, rather than have them change the face of the Hashemite kingdom.
