Priorities

Thank you, India

Don’t get why the downvotes. These are facts.

Well multiple things are at play. One, china’s growing interest in the region. Two, Israel interest in normalizing with saudi. Three, growing strength and power of newly formed armed groups within west bank that will eventually be too much for Israel to “manage”. Four, growing number of countries siding with the Palestinians. Five, running an apartheid state can only last so much. I can go on and on…

Lol! What planet do you live in?

This isn’t about growing up. The region is not just ripe enough for democracy. The education system for the past 50+ years has been all about memorization, not critical thinking. Certainly not critical thinking in politics. And definitely no criticism thinking of religion. The curriculums also over emphasize certain parts of history and completely erases others. Once these things get overhauled, and true political parties form, then we can talk about democracy.

This has been Israeli strategy for 30+ years. They want to keep the situation as is, while slowly ethnically cleansing Palestinians, and building more and more illegal settlements. This sort of worked for them in the past, the old world order, but won’t work in the currently forming new world order.

Totally an autocrat, don’t deny that. But certain parts of the Middle East is not ripe enough for full blown democracy (in the western sense). 50 years of bad educational system needs to be reversed first.

Everyone hates Netanyahu.

This is true. The king didn’t play along with their shitty plan to “solve” the Palestinian conflict, so they decided to get rid of him (unsuccessfully). The American aid to Jordan stopped during that time. The saudi aid to Jordan also stopped. It was tough economically in Jordan during that time.

This will never happen. They tried and failed. There is only two viable solutions to the conflict. 1) two state solution, 2) one state solution but it will not be a Jewish nor islamic state.

I think the King of Jordan is an ideal example of a secular Muslim leader, that i hope other mena countries can follow.
