Jordan to Make Its Case Against Barrier

THE HAGUE, Netherlands - The Palestinians delivered an impassioned case against Israel's West Bank barrier in the opening day of a world court hearing. Now Jordan is stepping into the fray.

Jordan is scheduled to make its case against the barrier during Tuesday's session, the second day of hearings before the United Nations (news - web sites)' highest judicial body on the legality of the structure.

Unlike the other countries supporting the Palestinians this week, Jordan views the barrier as a direct threat.

Jordan fears the barrier will make life so hard for Palestinians that they will flee the West Bank into the neighboring kingdom, straining its resources and upsetting a delicate demographic balance in a country where roughly half of the 5.1 million people are Palestinian.

Jordan to Make Its Case Against Barrier

1. Jordan's case is laughable. Read this paragraph carefully:

"Jordan fears the barrier will make life so hard for Palestinians that they will flee the West Bank into the neighboring kingdom, straining its resources and upsetting a delicate demographic balance in a country where roughly half of the 5.1 million people are Palestinian."

Half the population of Jordan is Palestinian and they're calling it a delicate balance? LOL! No, what world community should be calling for is Democratic elections in Jordan and let the people of that country decide who they want to run things. My guess is the Jordan despot in control now would be fleeing for his life in America.
