Point of No Return - Lesson Lost on "Palestinian Authority' - Jordan's Control of Waqf in Question

Submitted by M Tovey (United States), May 28, 2022 at 21:56

All indications by the 'Palestinian Authority' and other 'Palestinian' proxies is that they are ready to 'go the distance' in order to defeat the Israeli nation over teh Temple Mount, not realizing that they are actually precipitating their own loss of control for reasons not even found in the Quran. It will take more than the Eleven Days of May from last year to release all the anger and hatred now seen built up and very quickly the call for help will be broadcast worldwide. However, no amount of international assistance that could be mustered is going to quell the calamity proposed by the 'Palestinian' proxies this time; the world is still trying to get through the incursion in the Ukraine and that will cause even further division as to whose cause deserves more attention.
The Russians threw a twist, that while they are at war with the Ukraine, the world 'declared(?) war on Russia? Speaking of twisted logic, do they think now their paranoia is justified? But what's the connection between the Ukraine and the Temple Mount? On the surface, one would think not so much. But considering how much attention Israel gets from the international community and now the Ukraine is absorbing so much in the way of political voyeurism and and pledges of material support, what if the 'Palestinians' do run out of resources before they make the claim of Israel's defenses taking advantage of ther vulnerability:does the Iranian Islamic Regime come to their aid? Those in the Abrahamic Accords; whose defense do they take up?
The bigger question from this observer's perspective: where will the United States fall in on these issues?
So, yes, did we mention Jordan in all of this: does the Waqf lose more than its reputation this time around?
The end of this time remains to be seen, but it is likely things will not be able to return to any former status quo: too much will have been lost for that to be the case. Maybe that's the point to be made.
