Black September

Anyone remember Black September, which occurred in 1970? That was when Jordan had enough of Arafat's Palestinians, who had been trying to take over Jordan. King Hussein, of Jordan, drove Arafat and his henchmen out of Jordan.

It was good for Jordan, but it was terrible for Lebanon, which was one of the most advanced and thriving Arab countries. The Arab people in Lebanon had a good standard of living. The other Arab nations condemned Jordan for driving the Palestinian terrorists out of Jordan, and punished Jordan for years.

That was in 1970. The ruthless, hate-driven, oil-rich Arab dictatorships still haven't changed much. The only change is that there are now a lot more Arabs in America.
