chalu2,
The Palestinians did try an "intifadeh" against Jordan in 1970, don't you remember? King Hussein crushed it in what became known as "Black September", killing several thousand PLO fighters and Palestinian civilians in the process. The remnant of the PLO then fled to Lebanon.

There was no great outcry, of course. As I'm sure you've noticed, when Arabs kill each other, there seems to be little media interest. How much have you heard in the news about the hundred thousand people who have died in Algeria in the last decade?

Are you saying that two wrongs make a right? With one of the wrongs being strictly hypothetical?
