Interesting news from Jackboot Israel:

Well, that's a pretty strong label to place upon a small nation who's neighboring Arab nations have vowed to crush.

I don't like everything the Israelis do, but most of the time I can understand the logic behind their actions given the inherent hostility they have faced.

The palestinians have been pawns of the Arab states for decades. Jordan is some 60% Palestinian, although ruled by a Hashemite Arab regime. Jordan invaded and occupied the Palestinian partition during the war of 1948, annexing it into Jordan proper.

It was not until Jordan attacked Israel in 1967, that it was conquered and occupied by the Israelis. And under most international legal definitions, such an occupation is qualified as a "spoil of war" and it is well within Israeli rights to continue to control it.

Regards,

Ron
