Jordan is in an uproar over the revival of the “Jordanian option” – the thesis that Jordan is the true home to the “Palestinians.” Reports that a top advisor to US Presidential candidate John McCain is promoting this idea have led to a flurry of press reports in the Arab media, as well as a denial from Jordan’s King Abdullah himself.

Kind of a tricky situation here, I guess. It seems to me that, since Jordan was to be the Muslim part of “Palestine” when the British pulled out and the U.N. carved up that part of the World, this line of thinking makes sense (and, for the record, it’s a line of thought I could get behind). However, if you’re convinced your family was pushed out of its homeland in 1948, would you want to move, or try to get back what you felt had been stolen?

All that to say, while it makes sense, I don’t see the international community supporting “Jordan is Palestine.”
