Are you nuts? Sending the Palis to Jordan would severly undermine King Abdullah who is truly an ally of the United States. Send them to Saudi Arabia or Syria instead.

The last thing Israel or the U.S. wants is to destabilize the Hashemite government in Jordan.

It isn't that the Palestinians need a state. Israel needs to get rid of the Palestinians, and nobody will take them.

Southwestern Iraq, in a Jordanian protectorate?

Then again, since I'm frequently assured the "bad" Palestinians are a small minority, Jordan might be the right place, I'm sure King Abdullah got some advice from dad on handling the PLO, and it won't be the tepid Israeli way.

King Abdullah who is truly an ally of the United States

Nuts? Please! He's not a true ally of America. He's just like the rest of the spineless monarchy over there. If democracy is good for Palestinians, it should good for all of the Middle East. That includes Jordan.

King Abdullah has come to Washington DC and like every other useless Arab monarch, he's tried to put pressure on Israel. His father screwed with Israel and lost badly. He's just a bit more restrained. There will not be peace between Israel or any of her neighbors. They want Israel to be abolished. They want the Jewish people to be wiped out. That's the essence of all this.
