This is what I have believed for years, that Jordan is the real Palistine.

There is no “real Palestine”. Remember what Zuheir Mohsen said back in 1977?
The Palestinian people does 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. …
The Philistines died out as a distinct people many centuries ago. These so-called “Palestinians” of today are Arabs, descended from Ishmael, while the actual Jordanians are still the descendants of Moab and Ben-Ammi.

“Jordan” is short for “Trans-Jordan” or “Trans-Jordanian Palestine.” This was the original title of the Kingdom of Jordan.

1920 - Original territory assigned to the Jewish National Home

1922 - Final territory assigned to the Jewish National Home

The world's response? The 1948 partition!

I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people, My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; they have also divided up My land. (Joel 3:2)
