THERE IS NO ANCIENT JORDAN - SO JORDANIANS RESENT JEWISH VISITORS TO WHAT USED TO BE ANCIENT ISRAEL

Growing number of Jewish tourists

 provokes Jordanians' anger

 

by Elder of Ziyon website

 

Jordan's Erem News reports that Jordanians in the southern part of the country are increasingly upset that Jews are visiting the country, claiming that they are planting fake archaeological treasures to be dug up to help Israel claim that Jordan is really part of Israel.
Jordanian citizens in the city of Tafilah noticed "alarming movements" by eight Jewish tourists camping for a few days, they claim, in order to carry out digs.

 

This provoked "anger and resentment" from them. Abu Ali Al-Majali shot a few shots in the air, (he claims that he didn't know that the Jewish tourists were there, claiming he was testing his gun.) Afterwards the Jews escaped in three vehicles carrying Jordanian license plates.

 

The Jews left amid "angry shouting" by the citizens of the city, which included the throwing of shoes towards the Jews (considered a very severe form of degradation in the Arab world). Abu Ali Al-Majali was arrested by the police.

 

The article notes in its last paragraph that the Jewish tourists' "exploratory excursions" in the last 15 years frighten the people in the cities in the southern part of Jordan, especially in the regions between Madaba and Karak and Tafilah.

 

(The reason why Jews visit these regions in pilgrimage is that they were a part of historic Israel and they are more sacred to Jews than many of the newest Israeli cities such as Tel Aviv).

 

According to the article, despite the peace treaty with Jordan, the website of the Israeli Foreign Ministry's website has maps of the Promised Land showing Jewish cities both on the western bank and the eastern bank of the River (Jordan).
The MFA does have some historic maps of the Jewish kingdoms of David,  the Hashmoneans and Herod which of course did include parts of modern-day Jordan, so these seem to be what is upsetting them.

 

Of course, there is no such thing as "ancient Jordan."

In what may be a reaction to this growing Jew-hatred, Jordan has been enforcing a rule that Israeli Jews cannot tour Jordan without a Jordan-approved tour guide.

Israeli Arabs have no such limitations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Where did Jordanian borders come from?  From the British, who in 1923 violated the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine, and ILLEGALLY cut 75% off Jewish land that had been recognized by law to become modern Israel.  The British did it in order to create a brand new country for the Arabs that had never existed before.  They called it Transjordan  -  today's Jordan. 

 

Transjordan is historically ancient Jewish land.

Historical Facts about Jordan and Israel

 

By Eli E. Hertz

 

1920 - Original territory assigned to the Jewish National Home

 

 

1922 - Final territory assigned to the Jewish National Home

 

 

“When it is asked what is meant by the development of the Jewish National Home in Palestine, it may be answered that it is not the imposition of a Jewish nationality upon the inhabitants of Palestine as a whole, but the further development of the existing Jewish community, with the assistance of Jews in other parts of the world, in order that it may become a centre in which the Jewish people as a whole may take, on grounds of religion and race, an interest and a pride.

 

But in order that this community should have the best prospect of free development and provide a full opportunity for the Jewish people to display its capacities, it is essential that it should know that it is in Palestine as of right and not on sufferance.”

Winston Churchill
British Secretary of State for the Colonies
June 1922
