AMMAN: The Foreign Relations Committee at the Jordanian upper house of Parliament on Monday rebuked leader of a Dutch far-right political party for proposing the establishment of an alternative homeland for Palestinians in Jordan.
“This strange attitude represents an encroachment on internal law and conventions as well as a flagrant aggression on the sovereignty and independence of Jordan, a member of the United Nations,” said the Committee’s Chairman, Marouf Bakheet, in a statement carried by the official Petra news agency.
Geert Wilders, who leads Holland’s extremist Party for Freedom (PVV), said last week that he believed Jordan should be renamed Palestine. “Jordan is Palestine,” he said.
“Changing its name to Palestine will end the conflict in the Middle East and provide the Palestinians with an alternate homeland,” said Wilders, an anti-Muslim activist whose party almost trebled its seats in the Dutch Parliament in the latest polls.
Wilders went further to warn against giving East Jerusalem back to the Arabs. “If Jerusalem falls into the hands of the Muslims, Athens and Rome will be next,” he said.
His remarks drew sharp reactions in the Arab and Muslim worlds, foremost Jordan, where he appeared to have adopted an extremist Israeli scheme, which seeks to establish homeland for Palestinians in the Hashemite Kingdom.
“Such remarks will neither help the distinguished ties between Jordan and Holland nor thwart Jordan from going ahead with its support to the Palestinian brethren to enable them regain their full rights, including the setting up of an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital,” said Bakhit, a former prime minister.
He also warned that such statements “will contribute to the derailment of efforts under way to re-establish peace in the region.” The Jordanian government has also issued a statement condemning Wilders’ statement.
You guys have got to see this:
“Extremist Party For Freedom”. You couldn’t dream this up. Those Arabs really have no sense of self perspective. Hilarious.

To mention another example of what goes on in their sick minds, once the Ayrab News published a follow-up story about an Indonesian maid who had been raped by 45 or 46 Saudi “men.” Do you know what their focus was? Not on the sickness and brutality of the rape but, praise be to mahound’s imaginary alter-ego allah, the fact that none of the 45 or 46 inbred bedouin savages had been infected with a sexually-transmitted disease.
It doesn’t get anymore disgusting than that…
He’s right, you know.
Check out the geography and the history of the British Mandate which created Jordan, Syria and helped Israel become a nation.
It helps to read books. King Hussein and Shimon Peres worked on a plan to let Jordan control the West Bank, figuring a stable state would bring more stability to Palestine. The Israeli right wing killed the idea and settled for the Israel Jordan peace treaty, which set the border between Israel and Jordan as the Jordan River. So Wilder’s suggestion is not a new one, and is already dead in the water. Besides, if you go back to the British mandate, you might as well say Jordan is Israel. That’s not going to happen either.
