Queen Rania of Jordan used to deny what Hamas did on October 7. Now she has a different approach. She accepts that some bad things happened on October 7 — she doesn’t go into any detail as to what those bad things were — but she wants the world to know that whatever Hamas may have done was an understandable response to a long history of Israeli oppression of the Palestinians. And while the Israelis may have suffered on that one day, so far, she claims, the Gazans have endured 156 days of terror, starvation, and death. More on fetching Queen Rania’s persiflage can be found here: “Jordan’s Queen Rania: Israel had one October 7, the Palestinians have had 156,” Jerusalem Post, March 13, 2024:
In an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday, Jordanian Queen Rania Al Abdullah discussed the war in Gaza from a humanitarian perspective, claiming that airdrops and the current volume of aid are not enough. The Queen added that, “aid under bombardment does not stop the destruction, the death, and the heartbreak. We cannot save people from hunger only then to bomb them to death.”
The hunger in Gaza is not the result of a lack of food. More trucks are now carrying food into Gaza than did so before October 7. Enough food is now entering Gaza to provide 1.72 pounds of food for every man, woman, and child in the Strip. The problem is not one of quantity, but of distribution. Hamas seizes much of the humanitarian aid — food and medicine — as soon as it reaches Gaza, for delivery to its own operatives, their extended families, and the clans to which they belong. Much of what is left is sold at grossly inflated prices to the ordinary people of Gaza, some of whom simply lack the wherewithal to buy the food from Hamas that was provided by donors and was supposed to be distributed for free to all the inhabitants of Gaza. But Hamas has prevented that.
Queen Rania says nothing about the role of Hamas in diverting so much of the food aid to itself.
She continued, “There are no victories to be had as long as this war continues.”
Nonsense. If Israel manages to crush Hamas as a fighting force, that will be a victory for the Jewish state. That is its only goal: it does not wish to harm, nor to rule over, the Gazans, but simply to dismantle the terror group whose operatives raped, tortured, and murdered 1,200 Israelis on October 7 and kidnapped another 253 of them.
Christiane Amanpour asked the Jordanian Queen what it means to be marking this Ramadan with the continuation of the war in Gaza. The Queen said that these days, they’re “welcoming the holiday with very heavy hearts.”…
What Amanpour does not know is that Ramadan is the month when waging jihad is especially pleasing to Allah, which is why the Israelis are particularly wary of a sharp uptick in violence in the West Bank, with massive and potentially violent crowds forming on the Temple Mount, throwing rocks on Jewish worshippers at the Western Wall far below (assuming that Israel does not ban Jews from praying there during Ramadan), and roaming through the streets of east Jerusalem to attack Jews.
Throughout the interview, Queen Rania placed the blame on Israel for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, arguing that Israel is responsible for cutting the people of Gaza off from basic necessities such as food, fuel, and water….
Queen Rania surely knows that Israel has continued to. supply Gaza with electricity throughout this war, that has never blocked medical aid to the Strip, and that the so-called food “shortage” is a result of Hamas seizing so much of the food for its own operatives as soon as it enters Gaza, and keeping some for resale at inflated prices that not all Gazans can afford. The food is there, but it is not being distributed equitably.
She commended France’s President Emmanuel Macron, as well as leadership in Spain, Belgium, Ireland, and South Africa, for calling for a ceasefire and supporting humanitarian aid efforts.
Those leaders called for Israel to accept a permanent ceasefire, which would mean an end to the Gaza War before Israel had obtained its war aim: the complete dismantlement of Hamas. Instead, if those leaders had their way, Israel would have been seen as having lost its war, with Hamas still standing and ready to regroup to launch other attacks, akin to that on October 7, on the Jewish state. This is an outcome the Israelis simply will not accept.
Stive says
Queen Rania of the Hashemite kingdom is a busy lady as deeply in service to WEF and it’s auxiliaries. Did surface research to Jordans odd star and in short, this king Abdullah is a satanist more than a Moslem, though Allah is Satan anyway
bill says
Like most royalty she lives in a bubble and does not know what she is talking about, listens only to Al Jazeera and Hamas. The so called oppression of the so called palestinians is of their own device, The walls and security were installed in reponse to their regular attacks on Israel’s citizens, if they were simply to live in peace with Israel, there would be no need for controls.
However we know from 7/10 and many other attacks not to mention the thousnds of rockets aimed at civilians; that living in peace is not on the minds of many palestinians, who only want to kill Jews and destroy Israel.
How typical that she was interviewed by the arch antisemite Amenpour.
tgusa says
Compared to the plight of many women throughout the islamic world the queen is a privileged bitch. And so is amanpour. But what the hell, they got theirs, the rest can east ****.
Tony Rice says
What she conveniently forgets is what her country did MORE than once, without cause or reason ie attack Israel when it was first re-started in 1947. Jordan and 4 other Arab countries invaded and tried to strangle the new nation at its birth, for which they have never been taken to task. And did so subsequently more than once. Jordan also took control of parts of Israel and kept them, and all Israel has done is taken them back.
Richard Sandler says
Noone seems to want to mention that Jordan massacred thousands of Palestinians on Black September 1970.
James Lincoln says
Inconvenient truths, Tony.
tim gallagher says
What a Muslim bullshit artist she obviously is. The Gazans are not suffering the sort of totally inhumane atrocities the Israeli victims of hamas suffered on OCt 7. What this propagandist is saying is a complete nonsense, an egregious level of lying. Typical Muslim behaviour..
SC says
Taqqiyya. They all do it.
tim gallagher says
Spot on, SC. Fortunately, Muslims do let the nasty truth slip out sometimes and you get those Muslim spokesmen who show their hatred for all of us non-Muslims and they threaten all sorts of harm, but mostly they do spend their time bullshitting to us. I never believe anything they tell us. It is all aimed at imposing barbaric islam, fit only for knuckle draggers, on all of us.
Wellington says
Yes, tg, per your statement, it is “complete nonsense,” but then so is Islam in its entirety.
Herein is the “rub” in microcosm I would argue, i.e., exculpate Islam, stupid and contra-reason as it is, then any nonsense is possible, including all the transgender rot now ongoing in the West.
When society “releases” itself from common sense and standard moral intelligence, which Western society has been inexorably advancing aplenty since the 1960s, then societal rot replete with bad guys taking advantage of such rot (e.g., devout Muslims) is a given.
It’s a given right now. No doubt whatsoever.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
Yes, we have entered the age of “complete nonsense”.
tim gallagher says
I agree, Wellington. With islam, I look at the barbaric and primitive shit that it is composed of and find every aspect of it repulsive and worthless garbage. On all the insane leftist agenda that seems to have escaped from the lunatic asylum of ideas in these weird days, such as the transgender nonsense and even to the extent where some people can’t even say what a woman is, and I honestly can’t believe that there are people who can come up with such loony ideas. I think that the sane people with common sense, still the vast majority of people, are probably getting fed up with some of the more extreme nonsense and I hope that there will be a fight back and a rejection of this nonsense. I saw a report out here where the Irish had rejected a referendum where the government there had tried to change the concept of, and definition, of a family or something along those lines (one of these destructive woke concepts) by a huge margin. I think it was 70 to 30%. Also I notice that some countries are now banning this appalling destruction of young people’s lives with drugs and surgery to change their sex. It is such a weird world these days. So many of the ideas around these days seem completely insane and it is alarming that plenty of people seem to take them seriously. To my mind, they should be laughed out of existence. I am not the sanest person around, but a lot of the woke agenda seems off the planet in its insanity. Maybe it is like that saying i heard years ago, “in the kingdom of the blind, the one eyed man is king.” So much of the leftist crap seems like stuff that only the blind, or people totally lacking in common sense and completely out of touch with reality, could believe in. These are very strange times, that’s for sure.
Siddi Nasrani says
Tim I completely agree with you, as time rolls on I think the world can’t at any madder but a few weeks later sure enough there is more madness.
I believe that we are coming to the biblical ” End Times”
Where Satan has not got too much time on this earth, so he trying
his hardest to drive humans to a delusional state of mind, & so in the end they do not know what reality is, & do not know what right & wrong is.
tim gallagher says
I must say, Siddi, that I never think about when it is all coming to an end. i am a Christian believer but I just think that it comes to an end for each of us, as far as this earthly life goes, when we die. No doubt about how insane some of the garbage that some people seem to believe in is. When you have clowns who can’t even say what a woman is for fear that it might upset some transgender type people, or calling breastfeeding chestfeeding, then we are in a weird world. And there is just so much truly bizarre nonsense around these days. How people can actually believe some of this crap is beyond me. However, I do think that most people think that it is all insane nonsense which it is. Probably a lot of people are just too polite to say what rubbish it all is.
SC says
Taqqiyya. They all do it.
Keys says
Incredible statement considering that the Gaza strip should be part of Israel, and the Hamas “Gazans’” homeland should be Jordan (Transjordan).
Wasn’t that the plan after the fall of the Ottoman Empire ? Please correct me if that is not true.
Linda says
Jordan has borders with Israel. Jordanians work in Israel. If Jordan feels sorry for the Gazans why not open your border to them. It is all B.S. They protect their own personal positions only. The original Jewish state was much larger under the League of Nations. The Arabs caused so much trouble before the establishment of the State of Israel that the British Mandate for Palestine was revised. They hate Jews more that the respect telling the Truth. The Palestinians are not treated well in Jordan.
CalvinsLutheran says
First of all Palestinians and GAZANS are properly what could be referred to as Edomites as in descendants of Edom (Esau) the TWIN brother of Jacob. Both sons of Isaac. But Esau SOLD his birthright for a bowl of porridge. Just think this fight is between a Jewish twin brother of Jacob (with twin brother Jacob) who sold his birthright (Jewish heritage) for a bowl of porridge (Islam)
Linda says
Jordan and the Palestinians had a war. It is called Black September.

Hope Biden doesn’t get a look at her, he’ll send her a billion or so just to sniff her hair. I know that remark is on called fore.
Scotsman48 says
She says the people of Gaza suffer the same pain as Israelis did on Oct 7th but so far Ive yet to hear about Arab women or girls and babies being raped, beheaded or cooked in a Microwave but then perhaps I could learn about that on Jordanian TV.
Israeli Soldiers do NOT rape and behead their captives..
