Jordan Looking To Go Nuclear

November 25, 2008 by Justin View Comments

Well, this isn’t much of a threat to Israel, as Jordan is considered a peaceful neighbor.  However, considering the number of terrorist groups/nations in that part of the world, it makes it a little easier for those with evil intentions to get a hold of what’s needed to make a nuclear bomb.

Jordan signed a civilian nuclear cooperation deal with China on Monday, as part of its efforts to develop its nuclear energy capabilities.

Under the protocol, China will help Jordan mine and enrich uranium, as well as assist in training and studies to build a nuclear station, head of the Jordan Atomic Energy Commission, Khalid Tuqan, said, according to news reports.

Well, Jordan was part of the land labeled "Palestine" by the British…

“Jordan is Palestine” Plan is Receiving Attention
By Hillel Fendel

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.”

Iranian Paper: Jordan, Saudi Arabia Spying For Israel
By MEMRI

In an editorial, the Iranian daily Jomhouri-e Eslami attacked the “disgraceful passivity” of the Arabs in the face of Israel’s attacks on Gaza.

The paper wrote that there are signs that “some Arab regimes — headed by Saudi Arabia and Jordan — are spying for Israel and helping it topple Hamas and Islamic Jihad.”

Seriously, is not bombing the crud out of Israel a sign you’re on their side? I figured it just meant these regimes didn’t feel like fighting…yet.

Jordan urges US to pressure Israel to halt Gaza attacks

February 5, 2008 by Justin View Comments

By DPA

Amman – Jordanian Foreign Minister Salah Bashir conferred on Tuesday with US Special envoy for Middle East Security, General James Jones, urging Washington to pressure Israel to put an immediate stop to its attacks on the Gaza Strip. “Israel has to stop its aggression and blockade of the Gaza Strip immediately and to realize that the launching of real negotiations to reach purported peace will not happen while it continues its aggression and blockade against the Palestinian people,” Bashir said.

I often suspect the U.S. government is responsible for the relative “peace” in the Middle East today. Not due to any deals they’ve brokered, but because they have a leash on Israel. What would happen if Israel was ever allowed any sort of legitimate retaliation?
