Jordan conducts military exercise simulating war with Israel

Dec 1, 2019 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

What has Israel done to Jordan? Nothing, of course. Discover the basis of this enduring hostility in The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process.

“Jordan simulates war with Israel in army ‘maneuver,'” Jerusalem Post, November 29, 2019:

The Jordanian army conducted a military exercise simulating battle with Israel, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

The exercise’s name is “Swords of Karama,” which is reportedly named after Israel’s 1968 operation against Fatah, which took place near the village Karama. At the time, Jordan fought alongside Fatah. Jordanian news sources claimed that the exercise simulated a defensive maneuver in which the country is “invaded.”

The maneuvers were attended by King Abdullah, Prime Minister Omar Razzaz, and several other senior Jordanian officials.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Jordanian Armed Forces Maj.-Gen. Yousef Huneiti said that the exercise is to prepare so that they may “strike with an iron hand against anyone from the extremist and terrorist gangs who dares to harm the homeland’s security,” according to MEMRI….

    Jordan has nothing to fear from Israel, but what does Jordan have up its sleeve? This is very upsetting that someone in Jordan is planning to cause more instability. The two states of Israel and Jordan are the original two-state solution. They should be the best of friends and allies sharing common resources and a common market, but Islam is the spoiler. Without Islam, they would get along fine.

    There is no peace between a Muslim country and its neighbors for long. When Muslims read the Koran, Sira and hadiths and take them seriously, they become very PARANOID.

      What part of The illegitimate state of Israel must be exterminated and wiped off the map for there to be peace in the region, don’t you Zionist sympathizers understand? Israel can’t exist any more than apartheid could exist in the 1990s. Times up! This has nothing to do with the ancient Hebrew faith. And Israel would be accepted if all of its inhabitants were accepted. Racists Zionist wouldn’t allow that though…

      • Westman says

        You are quite wrong. It is Islam that has outlived its time in a modern world and will find resistance in China, India, Japan, US, both Koreas, and likely an eventual a civil war in Europe where former Muslims, who found a superior life, become defenders. That is many years in the future.

        If you wish to see an enormous number of Muslims persish go ahead and start a wider war, because that will be the result of any united military attempt to destroy Israel. The US will not sit on its hands if things escalate beyond Israel’s ability to defend itself. Israel is an ally.

        And frankly, many of us who support a Democratic Israel are not religious. We don’t use the term “zionism”. We’re just not going to allow any democratic nation to be annihilated by demagogic forces, religious/political, or, communism.

        • Wellington says

          Dec 1, 2019 at 5:58 pm

          Seconded, Westman. And when an Islamic apologist accuses others of apartheid, the irony (and projection) is very deep because Islam in its very theological blueprint DEMANDS apartheid wherever it dominates. You know, the rot about the “best of peoples” {Sura 3:110} and non-Muslims being “the vilest of creatures” {Sura 98:6}.

          Wherever Islam gets its way, a Jim Crow system based on belief rather than race will be installed. Only the degree functions as a variable.

          Dec 1, 2019 at 11:12 pm

          Zion is the term for ancient Israel. It is not religious per se but indicates the depth of connection to the land of the Jews.

          Don’t fall into the trap of feeling you have to be defensive about anything to do with supporting Israel.
          It is this Islamic bigot who is the twisted pervert, noone else.

      • Wellington says

        Dec 1, 2019 at 6:03 pm

        You’re so full of horrible ideas that it is difficult to know exactly where to start. But this “problem” aside, Sabri S., you continue to NOT see how Islam creates a wasteland of the mind, body and spirit wherever it is dominant.

        Just look at the 56 Islamic nations for confirmation here and don’t forget that minus Western technology these 56 repressive nations would be far worse off, which actually I think would be a good thing since it would expose all the more what a giant parasite Islam truly is.

        exterminated…. how appropriate for a muslim jihadist like yourself to bathe your rotten mind in such filth. The Jihadist in you. For the ‘peace’ of the region. That’s how your rot reasons.
        Exterminate as an excuse for ‘acceptance’ of ‘all’ Israels inhabitants. Islam which accepts none of it’s inhabitants except as subjugated. Run of the mill evil.
        https://www.andrewbostom.org/ is the url to read of the lovely acceptance in Iran of the muslims who are protesting the tyranny and worse there.:

        I third what Westman and Wellington have said above. Aside from that, what would you know about the ancient Hebrew faith, when even the Quran gets it wrong, claiming that Jews worship Ezra!

        Also, in 1949, Israel did accept all its inhabitants, but once some of those refused to accept Israeli citizenship, that right was lost for good. That’s true of all countries – try giving up the citizenship of a Muslim country and then see how possible it is to get it back. Besides, what you are describing – the expulsion of inhabitants – is more true of your Islamic Pakistan (and Bangladesh) than about Israel

        The ‘Palestinians’ who left Israel in 1948 or thereafter are either dead, or their descendants are now settled in other Arab countries. Those are the countries they belong to, not Israel

        The last few “Israel extermination’s” didn’t go too well for the Arab’s..why would the next one be any different ?

      • alex says

        Dec 1, 2019 at 10:33 pm

        Sabri S: several points.

        1. Elsewhere, you have suggested that virtually all Israeli Jews are white Ashkenazi Jews (from Europe and the U.S However, a very large minority of them are Sephardic Jews, and there are also tens of thousands of Falashas (black Ethiopian Jews), a number of South Asian Jews (from India, for example), and others who are non-Ashkenazi and/or non-white.

        2. There are Arab Israeli Muslims and Arab Israeli Christians in the Knesset, and Israeli Arabs have legal equality with Jews. Also, Arab Israeli Christians have educational attainment levels and personal income levels which slightly surpass those of Israeli Jews, on average. Compare that with the precarious situation of Christians and other non-Muslim minorities in many Muslim-majority countries such as Pakistan and Egypt, for example. You can call Israeli Arabs “Uncle Toms”, as many Israel-haters are wont to do, but Uncle Toms in Apartheid-era South Africa, or Jim-Crow era Southern U.S. didn’t enjoy the kinds of rights which Arab-Israelis currently do in Israel.

        3. An analogy (it could be used for many groups of people, but let’s stick with Muslims, for a moment): Imagine if there was only *one* Muslim-majority country in the world, and it was geographically very small,, and it was also the *only* nation in the world that had Arabic as an official language, and that there had recently been a genocide which had killed *one-third* of all Muslims in the world.

        My attitude is, Japanese people have Japan, and Italians have Italy, so there also needs to be a country for Jews. However, Islamic supremacists would deny that any non-Muslim has the right to rule *anywhere* in the entire world; they (the self-entitled Islamists) believe that Allah has given them the “right” to conquer, kill, subjugate, extort and/or humilate each and every person on Earth who is non-Muslim. By the way, please read the book “The Muth of the Andalusian Paradise” by Dario Fernandez Merora, I believe that’s the author’s name.

        Sabri S. keeps claiming that Muslims are only slaughtering people all over the world because of the existence of little Israel–but of course this makes no sense.

        Then he claims that “real” Jews actually want Muslims to destroy Israel and murder them all. Nice try…

        Then his ludicrous claim here that the only reason Muslims want to destroy Israel and murder all the Jews is because Israel does not treat their citizens as equals is utterly ludicrous.

    East-Asia will always be at war with West-Asia. Ditto Jordan vs. Israel, regardless of “peace treaty” they signed. Besides, Mohammedans do not recognize permanent peace: only temporary truce.

    As Steve Wariner sings, “Some fools never learn. Play with the fire and you’re gonna get burned.”

    The king and his political henchmen should buy a Bible and read the 38-39 chapters of Ezekiel.

    Par for the course, the moslims lie and claim it is all defensive.

    • FYI says

      Dec 2, 2019 at 11:09 am

      The muslims have al LAH{“The BEST of deceivers” k3:54}who rightly guides them and surely holds them in the palms of his TWO RIGHT HANDS.

      This probably won’t make any sense to an atheist{and certainly not to a muslim}:it isn’t two Gods.

      {It should make perfect sense to religiously observant Jews and Christians}

      “If the Lord is God
      follow Him.
      But if baal{or “allah”}
      be your god ,
      follow him”
      I kings 18 v 21

      The Lord God is the Judeo-Christian Biblical God
      al lah{or hubaal,the god of the kaaba} is the islamic koranic pagan Arab god

      In terms of Biblical prophecy you mention{Ezekieletc}:if goliath {representing baal} was to have a rematch with David{representing the Real Deal},even though goliath may appear much bigger this time,David isn’t on the losing side…

      Going against Israel never ends well does it?

    Just Jews living free of the Islamic yoke is enough for Muslims to hate Israel.

    • Wellington says

      Dec 1, 2019 at 7:42 pm

      Most certainly, gravenimage.

      After all, Islam cannot allow Jews to get so “uppity” as to think they can have their own country.

      • gravenimage says

        Dec 1, 2019 at 11:42 pm

        Grimly true.

  8. Rob says

    Jordan has no shame. The formation of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan was the first dispensation of Palestine Mandate land. This was about 1925. The Jews had to wait another tragic 25 years to achieve Israel. You would think that Jordan would recognise in Israel, its own desires for statehood.

    • Wellington says

      Dec 1, 2019 at 7:40 pm

      “Jordan has no shame.”

      Just part of a much larger problem, Rob, which is that Islam has no shame. I mean when has the Islamic world apologized for anything even though it has a ton of wrongdoings to apologize for?

      There’s a grim humor in all of this, to wit, Islam is a horribly shameful excuse for a religion but it has no shame.

      Only decent secular or spiritual belief systems like democracy and Christianity can apologize for aberrancy from their principles, but Islam is far from decent, a joke actually to maintain that it is, and thus never an apology, never a sense of shame. This is part of the reason why I think that while not all Muslims are evil, all Muslims are confused. Not one damn exception.

      Jordan is an artificial country – carved out by the Brits to give the Sharif of Mecca some land he could rule when the Wahabis captured both Mecca and Medina. Historically, there was never either a Transjordan nor Jordan prior to 1918: it was all a part of Syria/Levant.

      They’d do better to guard their northern and eastern borders w/ Iraq and Syria, where ISIS fighters are more likely to come from

      • Rob says

        Dec 1, 2019 at 9:31 pm

        I think Jordan was formed to reward the Hashemites for their efforts on the side of the Allies against the Ottoman Turks.
        More recently in 1967, King Hussein tried half-heartedly tried to warn Israel about Arab intentions.

    “What has Israel done to Jordan? Nothing, of course.”
    Not lately. But I remember before the Arab Jew War of 1967 that Israel was bombarded by Syria from the Golan Heights. Syria was much too powerful for Israel to retaliate for Syrian aggression, so Israel attacked Jordan.
    Israel is always wary of military maneuvers by Jordan. When a visiting US congressman asked Jordan to put on a little military show for him, they told him they couldn’t do that because Israel might consider that to be an act of war.

    • gravenimage says

    Beware Citizens of Jordan, the last time, 1967, that you let your misguided leaders plunge into war against Israel, you paid dearly in lives. land and financial ruin. Tell them now, NO WAR against ISRAEL, Your most
