#1 Geez, it's almost like...they don't want their Pali "brothers" around.

#2 And if they can get rid of them there will be no "right of return" either.

#4 The only reason they are tolerated is because they are a thorn in Israel's side. Half of them know it, half of them don't.

#5 I wonder what Jordan's Queen Rania (Palestinian) thinks of all of this.
She's always on Larry King, talking about how the Israelis abuse them.

#6 "Jordanian" means Hashemite in this context, yes?

#7 Poor, poor Paleos, nobody loves them. Especially not their Arab brothers. They're only useful to irritate the evil juice.

#8 Spontaneous pogromic outbursts, yellow badges, revocation of citizenship... Christ, the Paleos really are the Jews of the Arab world. The non-Palestinian Jordanians must really be feeling their grits if they think they can behave this aggressively to a "minority" which is an actual supermajority in the state.

What's this about Palestinians serving in the armed forces? I though the non-Palestinian tribes got their edge by monopolizing their control of the institutions with guns - the army, air force, and police?

#9 Population of Jordan is about 6 million of whom, at least half have some 'palestinian' ancestry (depending on how that term is defined). At least a half million people have non citizen work visas or the equivalent.

These 'thousands of Palestinians...' may have received Jordanian citizenship through various programs that allowed the work visa types to convert to citizenship. Or they may be Palestinians with suspected allegiance (i.e., to Hamas or Iran or Syria).

#10 The non-Palestinian Jordanians must really be feeling their grits if they think they can behave this aggressively to a "minority" which is an actual supermajority in the state.

Unlike Americans who've forgotten 911 just a few years ago, the Jordanians haven't forgotten.

#11 ...tensions between Jordanians and Palestinians, who make up around 70 percent of the kingdom's population.

70%? Yeah, that could be a problem.
