Only on the rarest of occasions does anyone bother to acknowledge that the Hashimite royal family, and Hashimite rule in Jordan, are artifacts of the British imperial rule of old, a relic of the age of the Arabists, and it's the Jews of Israel who pay for this indulgence of a model of British monarchical rule in the Middle East. As the Bolsheviks dealt with the Romanovs, so should the Jordanians deal with the Hashimite royals, or at least send them packing - Monaco sounds like the likely place.Schvachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07052885350566210171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-86226103501113912252011-02-12T22:02:10.769+02:002011-02-12T22:02:10.769+02:00Hani - Accordin to the CIA Jordan consists of 83% ...Hani - Accordin to the CIA Jordan consists of 83% of a population calling themselves "Palestinian" that is 5.4 million people and the vast majority (more than 70%) of the regions "Palestinians." <br /><br />Either way in the coming months it is highly likely that King Abdula is going to b overthrown by the Palestinians.Yechielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919054687588069249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-71033125266559430702011-02-12T18:23:36.731+02:002011-02-12T18:23:36.731+02:00Hani, you should try reading some older history bo...Hani, you should try reading some older history books, written before these newly invented faux nations were artificially created.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-9760129444721865882011-02-12T06:35:58.690+02:002011-02-12T06:35:58.690+02:00Forgot to say the last part about (The only People...Forgot to say the last part about (The only People to have a national history and tradition based in this part of the world is the Jewish People.)<br /><br />Please open an encyclopedia or a history book any history book because I can't believer you went to school if you actually wrote that sentence believing it.Hani Obaidhttp://hani101.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-43552116884656847922011-02-12T06:21:05.196+02:002011-02-12T06:21:05.196+02:00The fact that the king is hashemite descended from...The fact that the king is hashemite descended from Saudi Arabia and more importantly for a Muslim nation from the prophet Mohammad makes him ideal to unify such a diverse nation. Per official UNRWA figures there are around 2 million Palestinians living in Jordan holding Jordanian passports. These are first gen Palestinians who aren't planning on going back, and they make up one third of Jordan's population. If one counts 2nd en Palestinians (who actually are more Jordanian than Palestinian), the figure rises to more than 50% of the population. The remainder descended from a multitude of what used to be Bedouin tribes. These tribes themselves are by no means unified however they accepted the hashemite rule of the current king abdullah II ancestor Abdullah I precisely because he's not one of them. In the same line of thought you will find that every Jordanian king has always married a none-Jordanian so as not to appear as to have favored one of the tribes. The queen is only Palestinian by ancestry.Hani Obaidhttp://hani101.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-6567578616422696002011-02-11T10:07:21.830+02:002011-02-11T10:07:21.830+02:00Batya, we must always be prepared.
