Secretary General of the Jordanian Coalition of Opposition, a known Jordanian- Palestinian politician and writer, who now resides in the UK as a political refugee. His writings regularly appear in Arab and other international publications.
Some key points on this page:
4,500 trucks sold by Toyota to the Jordanian government have all ended up in the hands of ISIS
Renowned writer and investigative journalist: “A senior Jordanian statesman has received $40 million from ISIS in exchange of supplying it with weapons, fighters and trucks”.
The Jordanian government openly does business with ISIS. A CNN-Arabic report confirmed the Jordanian government, that is, the king, was one of ISIS black market oil customers along with Turkey. The Jordanian government is in charge of buying oil from ISIS and selling it to customers.
Jordanians have the highest percentage of soldiers fighting with ISIS. Many of them come from the king's army and security agencies.
The king of Jordan has ratcheted up its anti-Semitic propaganda against Israel. Its government has openly called for more stabbings and killings of Jews, echoing ISIS propaganda.
The king of Jordan protects the Muslim Brotherhood, which has its global HQ just three miles from the king's palace. The MB has provided leadership to ISIS
The Muslim Brotherhood, by the way, is a favored organization in the White House, with members serving as aides, advisors, and administrators in the US government. Hillary Clinton's closest assistant, even when she was Secretary of State, has been Huma Abedin, who has family ties to Muslim Brotherhood members and a past job working for a Muslim supremacist publication.
King of Jordan
The image Jordan’s king has established for himself in the US is that of a moderate Westernized ruler. Even further, after ISIS killed the Jordanian pilot last year, Jordan’s king portrayed himself as a warrior king combating terrorism.
Nonetheless, in the few lines, you will see, with documented evidence, that Jordan’s king has been supporting ISIS, at best, with his recklessness and incompetence, or at worst; he empowers ISIS on purpose for reasons that will be explained here.
While Arabs continue to massacre each other in the Middle East, president Obama and the European Union obsessively demand that Israel - the only country with peace, democracy, and human rights in the ME - be partitioned for the creation of yet another deranged jihadist state.
The bloody struggle among Arabs is contained between Palestinians, precisely because Israel retains some degree of control over the land ruled by the Palestinian Authority, and a limited blockade over Gaza (Gaza is free to interact with the world through its border with Egypt).
Terrorist Mahmoud Abbas AKA Abu Mazen
Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Authority chief, would have been deposed long ago if it were not for Israel's protection.
The State Department, the European Union, and the political elite in Israel need to keep Abbas on life support as a so-called "moderate" puppet in order to perpetrate the LAND FOR PEACE HOAX.
Palestinian Authority elections are long overdue. Everyone knows that if there are free and honest elections in the Palestinian Authority, jihadist parties will win by a landslide.
And if president Obama succeeds in imposing its will on Israel and Palestinians get their independent state, it would fall in a matter of hours - days at the most - into the hands of ISIS or other similar jihadist group. The ever elusive "solution" There is no ideal solution to the Israeli-Arab problem. The best option has always been to officially declare Jordan the Palestinian state. After all, half of the population is of Palestinian origin already (the rest are mostly Bedouin from the Arabian peninsula), and the country has well-established government institutions. Palestinian Authority Arabs used to have Jordanian citizenship until the Jordanian king revoked it. They could get financial help and be repatriated to Jordan. With enough international help Jordan could integrate the West Bank Palestinians. Billions of dollars have been spent over the decades keeping Palestinians in limbo, waiting for the day when they can destroy Israel. (Further on this page read interesting article about how the British illegally created Jordan out of Jewish land destined to be part of the reconstituted state of Israel.)

Israel National News - Abbas urges 'same policy' of Yemen airstrikes to be used by Arab League in 'Palestine,' after his adviser calls for 'iron' blow to Hamas.
Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas used the platform of the Arab League summit in Sharm el-Shekh, Egypt, this Saturday to attack his "unity partner" Hamas, making a subtle call for the Arab states to take military action against the Gaza-based Muslim Brotherhood offshoot.
Before Jordan's outrage over ISIS murder of a pilot, the Jordanian Parliament held a moment of silence for terrorists who murdered four rabbis praying at a Jerusalem synagogue in November 2014.
In an unprecedented gesture of hostility towards Israel, the Jordanian Parliament on Wednesday opened a cabinet meeting with a moment of silence for the two Palestinian terrorists who slaughtered five Israelis in a Jerusalem synagogue a day earlier
Lower House Speaker, Atef Tarawneh, then went on to recite a prayer in memory of the “martyrs,” Uday and Rassan Abu-Jamal, killed by Israeli police as they shot and hacked to death four rabbis at prayer and a police officer who later succumbed to his wounds.
A more recent show of world double standards was evidenced during the Paris Unity March, which was all about the murder of cartoonists, but not at all about the murder of innocent Jews at a Kosher market, who had never drawn cartoons or done anything to offend the murderers.
The French government even had the gall to tell the Israeli PM not to attend because he made them feel "uncomfortable." The French government and other Western leaders warmly welcomed terrorist Abbas to the anti-terror march. Because killing Jews is not regarded as terror.

But first, Edgar Davidson's column on the world's and Jordan's hypocrisy

Jordanian - and world - hypocrisy
over Islamic terrorists
By Edgar Davidson
The brutal burning execution of a Jordanian Muslim pilot by Islamic terrorists is, according to the world media, far worse than the similarly brutal murders that Islamic terroristscarry out on a daily basis in many parts of the world.
Presumably, Muslim lives matter more. They certainly seem to matter a lot more than Jews murdered by Islamic terrorists. Continue reading
ISIS circulated a document citing the Prophet Mohammed burning apostates to justify today’s pilot torching video.
The ISIS video is entitled, “Healing the Believers Chests.” That’s from the Qur’an: “Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you over them, heal the breasts of Believers.” (Qur’an 9:14)
Continue reading, including quotes from the Koran and other references
Jordan’s Prime Minister, Abdullah Nsur, on Friday sent a letter of condolences to the families of Ghassan Abu Jamal and Uday Abu Jamal, the two terrorists who murdered five people in a synagogue in Jerusalem this week.
"I ask that Allah surround them with mercy, and give you all patience, solace and recovery from your grief,” Nsur wrote in the letter, according to Channel 2 News.
The letter from the Jordanian Prime Minister comes two days after Jordan's parliament offered a prayer in honor of “the spirit” of the two terrorists.
Jordan's PM Abdullah Nsur
MP Khalil Attieh requested his fellow representatives to recite the Fatiha, the first chapter of the Koran, for the "spirit of the heroes."
Attieh further declared that the murders in the Jerusalem synagogue were a "natural reaction to the occupation crimes against the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Palestinians."
Jordan’s minister of media affairs had earlier issued a vague statement on the attack, saying that the government of Jordan "condemns the targeting of civilians, and denounce all acts of violence and terrorism against civilians, no matter who or why it is done."
Nsur has in the past ruled out the possibility that his country would cancel the peace deal with Israel, even when the mainly Islamist parliament demanded that Jordan do so.
1967: Jordan refused to allow Gazans who came after the Six Day War to become Jordanian citizens. Todaysome 165,000 Palestinians in Jordan cannot become citizens and get no government services.
1970: 3500-5000 Palestinians killedand 20,000 Palestinians expelled, their camps demolished, in the Black September events.
1988: Jordanrevoked citizenship for millions of West Bank Palestinians as they declared "independence." As usual, this move was justified as being for their own good.
PALESTINIANS CELEBRATE SYNAGOGUE MASSACRE while the US forces Abbas to issue a FAKE CONDEMNATION Arafat's bodyguard reveals how the US forced Arafat was forced to lie when appearing to condemn terror while actually instigating it, the same as Abbas.
Jordan certainly knows about symbolic gestures. They used Jewish tombstones from Mount of Olives as LATRINESand construction material during their occupation of Jerusalem, which ended with the city's liberation in 1967. Here Jordan King Abdullah arranged the décor so as to have swords pointing at visiting Israel's PM during meeting.
The threatening hateful message is clear.
Between two very hostile men - John Kerry and Abdullah - with swords hanging behind him, Israel's PM Benyamin Netanyahu
And who can forget President Obama's message to the Arab world with an official photo of himself talking with PM Netanyahu on the phone, while gesturing a Muslim insult.
The official White House photo below shows the US president with his feet on his desk and the sole of his shoes towards the camera - and in a symbolic way also towards the Israeli PM.
Showing the soles of your shoes to another person is a very serious insult in the Middle East.
This insult was well understood by both Muslims and Israelis.
Having been raised in Muslim countries, the president may have been well aware of the significance of this insulting gesture.

No, this is not a joke. I repeat: this is not a joke.
In a world that maims, kills and destroys - Israel is condemned for building homes
UNSC to hold 'emergency meeting' in response to Jordanian request after Israel announces new Jewish homes in Jerusalem.
With all the major crises going on in the world right this minute, the United Nations finds time and resources to discuss Jews building homes in their own capital, Jerusalem.
Furthermore, much of the oppression, violation of human rights, mayhem and carnage occurring in the world today is being caused by the religion of peace - Islam. But the UN does not have time to deal with that.
And we should also mention the ongoing violent persecution of Christians and other minorities in Muslim-dominated areas. The UN does not have time to deal with that either.
News report: The UN Security Council will hold an "emergency meeting" on Wednesday to discuss Israeli plans to build more Jewish homes in Jerusalem, diplomats said. The "urgent" talks were requested by Jordan following a letter from Palestinian Authority envoy Riyad Mansour who called on the 15-member council to "address this crisis situation in occupied east Jerusalem."
Netanyahu said the international community remains quiet when Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas “incites to the murder of Jews in Jerusalem,” but strongly condemns Israel when it builds in Jerusalem. I don't accept that double standard. We built in Jerusalem, we build in Jerusalem, and we will continue to build in Jerusalem.” "The French build in Paris, the English build in London - that's the same as Israel building in Jerusalem. We will continue to build in Jerusalem."
Time to refresh our memories regarding the discriminatory and often violent treatment Jordan has inflicted on Palestinians.
Jordan turns away Palestinians fleeing violence in Syria
August 7, 2014 news report by Human Rights Watch:
(Amman) – Jordan refuses entry to or forcibly deports Palestinian refugees escaping Syria, in clear breach of its international obligations, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. Jordan has officially banned entry to Palestinians from Syria since January 2013 and has forcibly deported over 100 who managed to enter the country since mid-2012, including women and children.
1967: Jordan refused to allow Gazans who came after the Six Day War to become Jordanian citizens. Todaysome 165,000 Palestinians in Jordan cannot become citizens and get no government services. 1970: 3500-5000 Palestinians killedand 20,000 Palestinians expelled, their camps demolished, in the Black September events.
1988:Jordanrevoked citizenship for millions of West Bank Palestinians as they declared "independence." As usual, this move was justified as being for their own good.
Jordanian government massacre of thousands of Palestinians during the Black September operation
Estimates of Palestinian dead goes from 3000 to 5000.
This did not happen out of the blue. Palestinians had been trying to topple the king and take over the country. Wherever Palestinians live, they engage in violence. Arab governments deal with them in a much more drastic manner than Israel ever would.
As a matter of fact, after the liberation of Judea and Samaria (West Bank) Jordan dissociated itself from the area, not wanting it as part of Jordan anymore (particularly all the Palestinians living there), but as a separate country. Jordan even went as far as revoking Jordanian citizenship for Arabs living in the Palestinian Authority. Jordan is very clear: it does not want anything to do with them, except as tools for the destruction of Israel.
2013 Amnesty International Human Rights Report on JORDAN
Summary: The security forces used excessive force and arrested hundreds of peaceful and other demonstrators calling for reform. They maintained tight restrictions on freedoms of expression, association and assembly, and imposed new restrictions on electronic media.
There were reports of torture and other ill-treatment of detainees. Unfair trials continued before the State Security Court (SSC). Hundreds, possibly thousands, of criminal suspects were detained indefinitely without charge or trial.
Women faced discrimination and violence; at least ten were reported to be victims of “honour” killings. Migrant domestic workers were exploited and abused. There were reports that some refugees were forcibly returned to Syria. At least 16 people were sentenced to death; there were no executions.
Jordan violated all kinds of international agreements and standards when it desecrated every holy Jewish site in Jerusalem during their occupation of the city, which ended with Jerusalem's liberation in 1967.
Jordan destroyed synagogues, and used Mount of Olives cemetery tombstones as latrines and for road construction.
Jordan's desecration of Jewish sacred sites in Jerusalem during their occupation before 1967
Before the United Nations voted in favor of the Patition Plan on November 29, 1947, the Arab Legion of Jordan (created by the British) attacked Jerusalem. Their forces blocked Jerusalem's roads and cut off the city's access to water.
After bitter fighting, the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City fell to the vastly superior arms and numbers of the Arab Legion. The surviving Jewish inhabitants fled to the "New City," the four-fifths of the capital that Israel successfully held.
The Old City, including the Jewish Quarter, officially fell to Jordan on May 27, 1948.
Nearly twenty years later, during the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel's army liberated Jerusalem's Old City, finding the area completely neglected and virtually destroyed.
All but one of the thirty five synagogues within the Old City were destroyed.
Those note completely devastated had been used as hen houses and stables filled with dung-heaps, garbage and carcasses.
The revered Jewish graveyard on the Mount of Olives was in complete disarray with tens of thousands of tombstones broken into pieces to be used as building materials.
Large areas of the cemetery were leveled to provide a short-cut to a new hotel.
Hundreds of Torah scrolls and thousands of holy books had been plundered and burned to ashes.

"ISRAEL IS THE ONLY SAFE PLACE FOR CHRISTIANS IN THE MIDDLE EAST" says Father Gabriel Nadaf, leader of Christian Aramaeans in Israel, who recently rejected their "ARAB" designation, in favor of ARAMAEAN. Father Nadaf gave speech at the United Nations UNHCR headquarters, defending Israel and calling for an end to the witch hunt against Israel.
Scholar and human rights advocate Anne Bayefsky speaks at the United Nations
She accuses the United Nations of being the leading purveyor of anti-Semitism in the world, by inciting hatred against Jews and conducting an unremitting campaign against Israel.

Those anger management issues are never considered in the illusory pursuit of Land for Peace in Israel. The truth is that Arabs can't even tolerate each other and resort to violence at the slightest disagreement or violation of their 'honor'.
Daily Mail - Journalists literally turn the table on each other as they destroy Jordanian TV studio after live debate over Syria descends into violence.
Two journalists in Jordan became embroiled in a fight live on air and completely destroyed the set. Shaker Al-Johari and Mohammed Al-Jayousi were discussing the crisis in Syria when they disagreed about an issue and began hurling abuse at each other on TV channel 7 Stars. As if the war of words wasn't embarrassing enough on live television, the pair then became physical - standing up and violently shoving the desk on set at each other until it collapsed.
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.
Regardless of how much relief money is spent, life for the refugees in Lebanon and Jordan will become increasingly inhospitable absent a horizon for return to Syria. The self-immolation of a Syrian refugee in Lebanon last month is a harrowing reminder of the desperate circumstances of those who have fled the war. But the hardship extends beyond just Syrians. Today, Lebanon and Jordan provide sanctuary to one million and some 600,000 Syrian refugees, respectively -- about 20 and 10 percent of their respective populations -- and the social and economic stresses are taking a heavy toll.
...Surely, Western officials say, for the right price, currently estimated in the tens of billions of dollars, the Jordanians will help John Kerry, America’s secretary of state (pictured above with King Abdullah) to fix a settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by absorbing the 4.5m Palestinians who live in the kingdom, including the 3.5m who are now Jordanian citizens.
Or will they? Indigenous Bedouin from Jordan’s East Bank, who number about 3m, worry that America’s plans to persuade Palestinian leaders to strip generations of refugees of their claimed “right of return” to what is now Israel would reduce Jordan’s original inhabitants to a permanent minority.
Tribal leaders fret that the refugees, barred from Israel, would campaign for full rights in Jordan, over time turning the kingdom into a second Palestinian state. The Bedouin would lose their preferential access to government jobs.
They might also be deprived of the skewed electoral system that has hitherto ensured that they control Jordan’s parliament. “Kerry is destroying our home,” says a Jordanian analyst. “He is trying to solve one conflict by creating another.”
Parliamentarians from Jordan’s East Bank (ie, non-Palestinians) intent on scuppering Mr Kerry’s plan say the Palestinians must uphold their right to return to Israel. Campaigners are denounced as American collaborators for calling for more rights for those 1m Palestinians resident in the kingdom who still do not have Jordanian nationality.
When Mustafa Hamarneh, a Jordanian MP of Palestinian origin, suggested giving the children of Palestinian refugees access to Jordanian state education, health care and a driving licence, he was labelled a Zionist agent. (End of quote from The Economist.)
Here we see in plain English that the only reason Jordanians say they support the "right or return" is because they want to kick out their Palestinian citizens!
The Economist is wrong when it ways that some 1 million Palestinian Jordanians do not have citizenship - the number I have seen, which makes far more sense, is about 165,000, only comprising those who came from Gaza after the 1967 war. It is clear that the Bedouin want to discriminate not only against the relatively few non-citizens, who have next to no rights already, but against the Jordanians of Palestinian origin who have been full citizens for over six decades!
Notice also how even handed The Economist is in reporting on Jordanian apartheid against Palestinians - a discrimination that the Jordanian political leaders are quite open about and proud of. None of the rancor that accompanies stories about Israel shows up here, even though the alleged victims are the same.
It sure seems like The Economist is only "pro-Palestinian" when that position happens to also be anti-Israel.
Discrimination and abuse against Palestinians by Arab countries
The case of Jordan:
1967: Jordan refused to allow Gazans who came after the Six Day War to become Jordanian citizens. Todaysome 165,000 Palestinians in Jordan cannot become citizens and get no government services.
1970: 3500-5000 Palestinians killedand 20,000 Palestinians expelled, their camps demolished, in the Black September events.
1988: Jordanrevoked citizenship for millions of West Bank Palestinians as they declared "independence." As usual, this move was justified as being for their own good.
