This is a good deal . Trump gets Jerusalem. Jordan pays for donkey-fodder with alcohol taxes for west Jordan . Israel: Control access and egress between the West Bank and Jordan,
Maintain security control for the entire area from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, Ensure the enclave be demilitarized and remain demilitarized. Israel gets its army in royal land , a kingdom of Israel aimed at Baghdad , Ankara and concrete rubble mining in Syria. Posted by nicknamenick, Monday, 8 October 2018 2:09:55 PM

@David
Regarding your latest Netanyahu Propaganda Wing (NPW) article: Seems you [with your Israeli Netanyahu allegiance] want to shift greater problems of the Palestinian tragedy to Jordan and Syria. Jordan doesn't have a great track record of looking after the Palestinians. Take the Jordanianian slaughter of Palestinians during "Black September" 1970 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_September LONGER VERSION 16 September 1970, with certain actions continuing until 17 July 1971. RESULT [see Sidebar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_September ] PLO: 3,400 dead Syria: 600 Syrian casualties (dead and injured) Jordan: 537 dead There was also an upsurge of International Terrorism eg. multiple jet Hijackings and "Munich".

@David
Somehow your confusing article seems to back a Trump Solution for the Palestinians. Trump's knee-jerk extreme right ignorance about History and Geography outside (and often inside) the USA, bodes ill for non-Americans everywhere, let alone the fate of people in the Middle East. Where does Jared Kushner, who is Trump's son-in-law, nepotisticly appointed part-time policymaker for all Palestine-Israel matters, stand on this latest "Trump" plan? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Kushner#Senior_Advisor_to_the_President Posted by plantagenet, Monday, 8 October 2018 4:53:46 PM

And where does David Singer stand on his Merkava tank 120 mm MG253 smoothbore gun, capable of firing LAHAT ATGM.
LAHAT is a third generation semi-active laser homing guided low-weight anti-tank guided missile developed since 1992 and manufactured by Israel . Posted by nicknamenick, Monday, 8 October 2018 5:11:14 PM

Israel's Merkava tank is certainly its main Gaza invader http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/israel/10953391/Israel-orders-preparations-for-invasion-of-Gaza.html
The Merkava's Israel specific requirements means it has virtually no export market. So it is probably the most expensive tank around - even more than Abrams M1s and Leopard IIs. Posted by plantagenet, Tuesday, 9 October 2018 12:07:33 PM

I sometimes wonder why the author holds such a grudge against the good Jordanians that he wants them to be destroyed from within by swallowing the poison of "Palestinians" as citizens.
Perhaps his laptop was searched and confiscated in Amman airport? Posted by Yuyutsu, Tuesday, 9 October 2018 12:25:29 PM

"Jordan doesn't have a great track record of looking after the Palestinians."
David did you know that? David . David! Posted by nicknamenick, Tuesday, 9 October 2018 12:49:51 PM

Remember that one of the first acts of the PLO under Arafat was to try and overthrow the Jordanian government. Only a moron would want the West bank.

Yes some in Israel having the aim of intentionally spreading out the Palestinian tragedy to Jordan. In order to transform Jordan from the most stable Arab government to the least stable.
Another Trump policy "victory" pushed by the Netanhayu Propanda Wing (NPW) - mainly the NPW-US Branch with little NPW diaspora advocates in Australia, eg. Melbourne... Posted by plantagenet, Friday, 12 October 2018 4:30:36 PM

"Creating another Palestinian Arab state - in addition to Jordan - has been seemingly consigned to the garbage bin of history following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's CNN interview on 28 September."
CNN is fake news David, and you've just created a new Palestinian state today; by cutting the existing West Bank in half.

I believe the point has been reached where Israel must offer Palestinians fair compensation to resettle with dignity in a stable Jordan or elsewhere, allowing Israel to annex the territory it won and requires with Jordan taking the rest. Egypt should incorporate Gaza.
