The population of Jordan is ethnically different from that of Palestine Utter bulls--t. Stop "correcting" fact with propaganda. Thomas, it's plain you know NOTHING about the Middle East except what your propaganda sheet tells you. The Hashemites came from Saudi Arabia. The nomadic Bedouins were all over Palestine, East and West. The whole area was full of migratory and semi-nomadic laborers who moved to wherever jobs were, which is why the Muslim population of Western Palestine rose from 200,000 to 1,200,000 between 1880 and 1948. A little fact your propaganda sheet omits, as it clearly shows that the Arabs of 1948 were mostly recent arrivals. Jordan did regard itself as the same country as Palestine for many, many years. In 1948 King Abdullah of Transjordan declared, "Palestine and Transjordan are one, for Palestine is the coastline and Transjordan the hinterland of the same country." In 1970, when King Hussein gave orders for the Black September crackdown, he described it as putting down an internal rebellion, not repelling foreign invaders; he orders the suppression of "criminals and conspirators who use the commando movement to disguise their treasonable plots," to "destroy the unity of the Jordanian and Palestinian people." That's why Jordan alone gave citizenship to the Arab refugees from Palestine. The population of Jordan is current 80% Palestinian. Queen Rania of Jordan is a Palestinian. This plain historical fact is inconvenient to the current set of Palestinian national myths, so naturally it is also omitted from your propaganda sheet.
