King Abdullah's Dilemma

Imagine a leader of a country willing to take in 2000 sick Palestinian children from Gaza but is forced by his govt. to slow-walk the process for fear Israel will not allow the reentry of those children and their family back into Gaza! There is an almost 80yr evidence of Israel not allowing Palestinians to return home.

And where exactly is their home and have they ever been there?

My greatest wish is to see you enter a convo with substantive contribution. Example- Do you think Abdullah should act in the children's best interest and cross the bridge of their return home whenever that time comes? Responses based solely on religious zeal not welcome.

Is that your way of saying you don't know the answer to my questions?

In reply to Brerzerk

If you do.not know that there are in this world people rightly called Palestinoans who live in Palestine and are governed in Gaza by Hamas and in The West Bank by The Palestinian Authority including places such as Bethlehem and Jericho then you ought not be "here"
Substance please!

Bethlehem, Jericho, Samaria, Shechem, and Hebron - West Bank in parts - Biblical on the whole!

Etymology of the name of some of those cities? Who built , 1st occupied and named them...even as per Bible evidence? I actually work with a Palestinian whose last name is the exact name of a "biblical prophet"

abdullah is between a rock he is in control of a small arab country that has no resources it is dependant on american aide and it imports water from israel because it is scare in jordan there is only so much that he can push back on.but he can't be seen as weak on the palestinian issue either

Indeed! Because of "Israeli expulsions" since 1948 to now seventy (70%) percent of Jordan's population are either Palestinian by birth or descent, descent of not more than 3 generations!
