Jordan's Palestinians are not being shot by Zionist soldiers who are rather blindly retaliating and creating bereavements which will cause Palestinian retaliation etc. etc. True enough, the Jordanians don't have any attacks to retaliate against. And why is that? Because Jordan's Palestinians are not being led by Yassir Arafat and the PLO. And why is that, might you ask? Because Yassir Arafat tried this intifada nonsense with King Hussein in 1970 and got his butt handed to him. King Hussein killed about 5,000 Palestinians in Black September, both civilian and militants. Of course these 5,000 dead didn't generate 1% of the outrage that the 700 dead in the current intifada have generated. That's because they had the misfortune to be killed by fellow Arabs, not by Jews.
