Time to Push for the Jordanian Option
Reader comment on item: Arafat's Last Threat to Israel?

Submitted by Michael Green (United States), Nov 9, 2004 at 10:42

TIME TO PUSH FOR THE JORDANIAN OPTION

Hashemite Jordan, in everything but its name, already represents the bulk of Mandatory Palestine and its Palestinian-Arab population, whereas Arafat's PLO was formed and exists for the sole purpose of annihilating the Jewish state.

Before things get even worse, it's high time to dismantle the irredentist PLO terror state-in-the-making in West-Bank/Gaza, and share these territories with Israel's only true Palestinian peace partner: the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine.
