I wonder who is more afraid of the Jordan is Palestine concept. The Israeli Left or the Kingdom of Jordan.
More than 80% of the Jordanian population is "Palestinian".
As a result 80% of Jordanian residents are treated as second-class citizens. Their dictator, King Abdullah, who is from the 20% minority is occupying "Palestine".
Yesterday the Right ran a conference that proposed various alternative solutions to the Palestinians "problem". It was very successful and a number of realistic and creative ideas were put forward.
MK Aryeh Eldad (Ichud Leumi) proposed an idea as a bill in the Knesset.
MK Eldad called his plan “Two States for Two Nations on Two Banks of the Jordan.”
His parliamentary motion against the establishment of a Palestinian state was ratified by 53 MKs against nine and the matter was referred to the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.
King Abdullah, sensing a threat to his dictatorship went ballistic. After all, any official discussion of an idea like that could trigger a revolution by 80% of his residents.
Because he knows it's right.
But the Israeli Left went ballistic too.
They continue to prefer to ignore that a Palestinian State, especially with the return the refugees and their descendants - who would be forced by gunpoint out of Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Kuwait, etc. into this new state, would create a tiny State so unstable that the entire region would be engulfed in war.
They are locked into their dead-end vision and can't see any other alternative.
But the reality is that the creation of a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria is not what is driving them.
What is driving them is solely the idea of relinquishing control over J&S because of its historical and religious importance to the Jewish people.
That is why, even if you manage to find a leftist willing to consider the Jordan is Palestine concept, they always want to throw in Judea and Samaria too. Incredible.
But of course, they still don't want the religious Jews living near them, whether it be in Ramat Aviv, Yafo, or even the Negev - as I have been discussing these past few weeks.
It comes down to it that the far Left is driven primarily by anti-Religious motivations, and the Palestinians/Arabs are simply the tool they are using in their battle.
