Has anyone been following what Netanyahu has been saying today?

He wants Jordan to send in their PLO troops to control and manage the West Bank.

Crazy.

But the reality is that it would be no different than the current Palestinian troops doing the same.

In fact, the only difference I can see is that it would bring Jordan into the mess that we refuse to directly clean up.

Sounds to me like Netanyahu is trying to create a back door confederation with Jordan, a weak, but relatively stable dictatorship with an 80% Palestinian majority .

I understand his thinking; after all, if we don't want to keep sovereignty on our own land, at least let’s pick someone else to run it that we are more likely to get along with.

Of course Jordan might look at this and see it as exactly the sort of unstable situation that can topple a dictatorship monarchy – which it is.

And of course, all he is saying is that one group of terrorists should police another group of terrorists – something that Feiglin mentioned too.

Maybe he’ll also want Egyptian troops in Gaza. There’s another great idea.

Just bring me back to the summer of 69 67.
