Nobody wants the Palestinians

Even Jordan doesn't want the Palestinians. Not that this is news, but they are arguing at the Hague that the separation fence hurts Jordan, claiming Palestinians will be forced into their delicate country and upset the economic balance.

Imagine that a Palestinian state was created tomorrow in the West Bank and Gaza with a secure border with Israel. Based on their court arguments, the Jordanians would freak out. Another example showing that the Palestinians remain the world's sorriest pawns.

2 months since my last posting. Glug, glug.
