King Abdullah was assassinated for annexing Gaza to Jordan in 1945. the "other" Arabs had an agreement to keep Gaza separate.

You're very creative with your revisionist history Len...

King Abdullah was assassinated by direction of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (remember our history lesson about him and his Nazi collaborations during WWII??) in 1951, not 1945...

palestinefacts.org

And refresh yourself with this link about the Grand Mufti:

palestinefacts.org

"From Egypt al-Husseini was among the sponsors of the 1948 war against the new State of Israel. Spurned by the Jordanian monarch, who gave the position of Grand Mufti of Jerusalem to someone else, Haj Amin al-Husseini arranged King Abdullah's assassination in 1951, while still living in exile in Egypt. King Tallal followed Abdullah as king of Jordan, and he refused to give permission to Amin al-Husseini to come into Jordanian Jerusalem. After one year, King Tallal was declared incompetent; the new King Hussein also refused to give al-Husseini permission to enter Jerusalem. King Hussein recognized that the former Grand Mufti would only stir up trouble and was a danger to peace in the region.

Btw Len..., Gaza was NEVER under Jordanian control....

Don't you feel even the bit embarrassed by your lack of credibility when you present such false, but easily verifiable facts??
