Who Are The Palestinains?

Perhaps the likes of Amity & Tinmore will tell us WHY Jordan gave Israel the West Bank. Once they know the answer they may be able to see things outside the box of their Palestinian mentality.

It wasn't Jordan's to give!

An important question, though -- why weren't these so-called Palestinian Arabs not clamoring for their own state when the Egyptians and Jordanians were administering the area? Could it be that these so-called Palestinians didn't mind being administered by these two countries because these were Muslim countries?
 
et al,

Yeah, it is a fair question.

By whom is it called "occupied Palestinian territory" & what difference does it matter what anyone calls it? Just tell us why the West Bank is no longer called Jordan, even by Jordanians.

tell us WHY Jordan gave Israel the West Bank.

They did? Then why is it called occupied Palestinian territory?
(COMMENT)

At the cessation of hostilities by Armistice of the Arab-Israeli War (1948/'49), the West Bank became Jordanian Occupied Territory. In April 1950, HM King Abdullah convened a new Parliament in which the Arab Palestinians of the West Bank were given equally represented. By unanimously vote, in was was called the "Unification of the Two Banks," The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan annexed the West Bank.

This was done with the consent of the Arab Palestinian (self-determination).

The Conflict of 1970 said:
The partnership with the Palestinians desired by King Hussein fell apart in September, 1970. The pervasive and chaotic presence of armed Palestinian fedayeen groups who expected immunity from Jordan’s laws was leading to a state of virtual anarchy throughout the Kingdom. Moderate Palestinian leaders were unable to reign in extremist elements, who ambushed the king’s motorcade twice and perpetrated a series of spectacular hijackings. Forced to respond decisively in order to preserve his country from anarchy, King Hussein ordered the army into action.

The situation prompted different reactions throughout the Arab world. While most leaders privately expressed sympathy with the position of King Hussein, many took a public stance in favor of the fedayeen in order to embellish their credentials as “Arab nationalists.” The conflict reached a crisis point in September when some 200 Syrian tanks, camouflaged rather unconvincingly as Palestinian Liberation Army tanks, crossed into Jordan. The Syrians were bereft of air cover, however, and Jordanian aircraft forced a Syrian retreat within three days. In a brief yet intense campaign ending in July 1971, the Jordanian army put an end to the chaotic actions of these Palestinians guerrillas in Amman.

In 1988, HM terminated Parliament, and ended Jordanian Rule over the West Bank and the representation in the legislature by Palestinians. HM King Hussein "announced the severance of all administrative and legal ties with the occupied West Bank." THUS, ending the protection and citizenship Jordan extended over the Palestinians and the West Bank. A few months later, the PLO declared independence (self-determination).

Yes. Jordan had had it with protecting & providing for their Palestinians. How pleased Jordan was to relinquish the West Bank to dump the Palestinians on Israel.

When was that war between Palestine and Jordan?
No, it was the latest Trustee of the Insane Asylum called Old Palestine, acting in an agency relationship in connection with their wholly incompetent charges.

Black September - September 1970. Around 15 to 20 thousand Palestinians massacred by Jordan. But hey, it resulted in the one & only lasting peace ever established from Palestinian terrorists.

It was Jordanian occupied Palestine until 1967 then it became Israeli occupied Palestine.

What part of that confuses you?

In 1967, it was Palestinian Territories, not Palestine.
What part of that confuses you?

Indeed, it was not Palestine. It was only a part of Palestine.

I stand corrected.

I'm sure it was reffered to as Palestine, but the correct term for that time period is Palestinian Territories

What? Run that by me again? Jordan (Arab Palestine) occupied another Palestine? Would that be the Jewish Palestine aka ISRAEL that Arabs refused to accept and attacked by any chance?
