Jordan isn't Palestine and never was

I agree that the lowering of the percentage of so-called Palestinians in the Jordanian population will act against the Jordan-is-Palestine lobby in Israel. The Palestinian state is not going to be in Jordan. It's not going to be anywhere else, either, because the local Arabs don't want it. Some just want to live their lives and make a decent living without violence and others want to kill Jews and drive them out.

But none of the Arabs really want to take responsibility for a Palestinian state.
