World from a different angle

What about Netanyahu?

The world seemed to have come to an end in Jordan at the remarks of Bashar Al-Assad in his speech in which he alludes to Jordan First slogan in a way that many jordanian found offensive... Thanks to our journalism of course who بتصب الزيت عالنار
 
Anyway, we found that offensive and it caused an outrage, how much more offensive was Netanyahu when he threatened last year to take over Aqaba if missles were launched from there at Israel? Or when he recently supported the declaeration of  the Israeli general Bair Nafeh (or whatever his name is) in which he expected that king Abdullah II will be the last Hashemite king...!! I know that there was an official apology, but not by Netanyahu...
 
Someone, and not anyone, threatens to occupy a part of our country, how insolent is that? Which situation should receive more publicity and more rage??

lol well it's like picking which lemon is the most sour.

I think we have to look outside the box and see that at the end of the day Israel is Israel and Syria is Syria. In other words you can expect these things from israel, because, well, it's Israel. But when it comes from Syria, well wounds run deeper when they come from your siblings.

Maybe you're right... but we are talking about a threat of occupation here, it's not good for our image to keep silent...

yeah but people generally don't take such threats as realistic ones. it's mostly party politiking. there's a difference between netenyahu and bashar alassad.

it's not the first time that an Israeli official has made such threats in the past few decades. like i said, you expect certain things to be said about Jordan from Israel. Because it's Israel.

syria is another matter.

In either case both are not worth our time as Jordanians. They both have their own interests at heart. Israel First, Syria First.

we just had stickers made. :-D
