Al-Qatawneh didn’t say “the Israelis,” he said “the Jews,” thereby making it clear that his opposition to the project is not based on opposition to Israel, but upon Qur’anic anti-Semitism.

Biden, Soft Everywhere, Is Soft On Jordan, Too
Joe Biden recently met with Jordan’s King Abdullah. It was a meeting all full of smiles. The King was assured of continued American support, financial and diplomatic.

Islamic scholar: ‘The time has arrived for annihilation of the Jews and purification of the land from their filth’
After making his genocidal call, Zaghloul Al-Naggar says: “It should be noted that we believe in freedom of religion, and that any person can believe in whatever he wants, as long as he does not force his presence upon other nations.” That’s rich.

Jordan condemns Muhammad cartoons and ‘misleading attempts to link Islam with terrorism’
What is Jordan doing to ensure that no Muslim in the future will decide that the proper response to those offensive cartoons is to behead the person who shows them? Why, nothing at all, of course.
