Jordan has been rocked by pro-Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood protests, which is reportedly a “serious threat” to the Hashemite Kingdom. The riots were likely intended to destabilize Jordan as part of the efforts of both the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran to expand their control in the region. At the moment, Iran and the Brotherhood offshoot Hamas are friends of convenience.
In a new, more serious phase, Saudi and Emirati writers are warning about the overthrow of the Jordanian government by Iran, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, which would, of course, give these groups a decisive victory in the ongoing battle for regional power.
While jihadists claim that Israel as an obstacle to peace, the jihadist entities that seek to obliterate Israel vie for power against one another.
“Saudi, Emirati Writers Warn About Attempts Of Iran, Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood To Overthrow Jordanian Regime; This Is Tantamount To Declaration Of War On Jordan’s Allies, Attempt To Instigate New Arab Spring,” MEMRI, April 8, 2024:
The intensive protests in Jordan against the war in Gaza are a source of concern for the Gulf states, which regard them as an attempt by Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) movement and Iran to agitate the masses and ultimately overthrow the Jordanian regime, as well as other regimes in the region.[1]
Since Hamas’ October 7, 2023 terror attack in southern Israel and the outbreak of the ensuing war in Gaza, which has been ongoing for six months, Hamas officials, who are supported by the MB and Iran, have been calling on the people of Jordan to escalate the protests in the kingdom and join the fight against Israel by opening a front against it from this country.[2] These calls increased the scope and intensity of the protests, which take place throughout the country but especially in the vicinity of the Israeli embassy in Amman, where thousands of young men gather every evening to “besiege the embassy building,” chanting slogans in praise of Hamas’ leaders and against the Jordanian king. Elements close to the MB have also called to stir up popular unrest in other Arab countries that maintain ties with Israel.[3]
Both Jordan and its Arab allies, such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the Palestinian Authority (PA), accuse Hamas and its patrons – the MB and Iran[4] – of using the war in Gaza to destabilize the Jordanian kingdom, overthrow its regime and even instigate chaos and a new “Arab Spring” in the region. As the protests in the kingdom intensified, Arab leaders stressed that they stand with their ally Jordan. For example, UAE President Sheikh Muhammad bin Zayed emphasized, in an April 1 phone call with Jordan’s King Abdullah II, that his country stands with Jordan in defending its security and stability.….

Time to eliminate the threat with extreme prejudice.

The Muslim Brotherhood is reminiscent of The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants from the X-Men comic book and movie series.
At least though, Magneto and the other evil mutants had a measure of honor.

No honor among thieves….nor mozlums; who *are* thieves, taking security, taking land, possessions and so very many lives.
If only they would just fight each other and leave the rest of us alone to go about our lives with some measure of peace.
But, they have “taken peace from the earth.” So much horror and bloodshed for a false god and fake prophet….who may never have existed except in the mind of his evil, demon, creator.

At this point, I’m not sure that Jordan’s monarchy/regime is worth defending. Let’s say Hamas takes it over, they’ll keep losing wars to Israel so lopsidedly that ultimately, they’d be totally demilitarized

I wonder what the queen has to say now?
