  • This week, as fears grow of a widening war in the Middle East, Jordanian King Abdullah II called for a de-escalation of tensions between Israel and Hamas. In 2009, King Abdullah joined Meet the Press to share his thoughts on the root of instability in the region, saying, “Any conflict that you pick in the Middle East today, all roads lead back to Jerusalem."

    Why is the occupier being supported? They occupied the country of Palestine under various pretexts. Their excuse was that 4000 years ago, Jews lived here. Many countries have changed and ethnic groups have changed. So all countries should return to 4000 years ago, the people of a land by force and terror. They imprisoned them in a small prison with the least facilities, called Gaza, and they equipped Israel with all kinds of murder weapons. And doesn't he condemn the murderer, the criminal, the racist, the thief of the land, and the murderer of women and children? Should the Palestinian people be silent? And there is no resistance? So where are human rights? Is it in the books? Should people be satisfied that our country is in the hands of the invaders? If it was your country, would you just watch and be silent? If a child in your country, women, children and people were killed in the worst way, would you? Were human rights and international organizations silent? No, it's just a crime, we are wrong, everyone looks at us and condemns us, and then they tell us that you are terrorists, you are the real terrorists, a wolf in sheep's clothing, how far is the cruelty, why don't international organizations condemn their crimes? And vice versa. Why are they afraid of the Zionist capitalist lobby? The country and nation of Palestine have been oppressed, above all, because the nation is weak. They make various excuses for occupying this land, but they want to cover up their crime and show a law. to give

      Because it was built on a Vortex of Conflict from its concept and creation.
      They say Israel was created so all the Jews would go there because no country wanted them in their country and to make sure the Arabs don't try to take over the Western World.

    He is right. King Abdullah's is aware of history and he doesn't want another Arab-Israel War. We had one in 1948, with King Abdullahs grandfather Abdullah I bin Al-Hussein and the Arab league vs Israel, 2nd Arab-Israeli war was in with Egypt and All-Palestine Protectorate vs Israel, UK and France. Second Arab-Israeli War (Suez Crisis) happened in the Gaza Strip and Egypt. 3rd Arab-Israel War or the Six-Day War (involved Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Iraq as well as Saudi Arabia). After the Six-Day War, many Palestinian relocated to Jordan and Lebonon. Jordan had a Cival war (black September) as Palestinian Fedayeen, in Jordan with the help of Syria were trying to over throw the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (King Abdullahs Father). Abdullah knows that this war can destabilize the middle east, cause Economics turmoil. Once that happens, Governments will be overthrown. Just look at Tunisia i 2010, Algeria, Syria, Sudan, Egypt, Libya, Kuwait, Bahrain, etc.

      But still to date, to my knowledge....not one Palestinian/Gazan, or anyone, had an answer to the question I've asked many X's ~ Why have Gazans not developed their own opportunities in their country? Why are they not concentrating and focusing on improving their education and lot in life? It seems they all want to get into Israel for jobs, education and opportunities. They look over the walls and fences of prosperous Israel and seeth, it seems.
      It's as if the population is sharing this mass neurosis and spin like a stuck Roomba "we are occupied; we are oppressed; we are discriminated against; we are controlled.." And it seems a collective madness born of failure and envy. It seems a failed society that needs to wake up and create a new beginning from the ashes.
