Jordan Threatens Israel Over Jerusalem

Posted by smoothstone

More Muslim hubris. Via One Jerusalem:

Earlier this week Jordan’s King publicly embraced Hamas and today Jordan’s Foreign Minister warned Israel’s Ambassador against a planned archaeological dig in Jerusalem because:

“This would also lead to a new violent conflict in the Middle East because Jerusalem is a red line for Muslims and Arabs.”

That the Jordanians have suddenly become energetic opponents of Israel is troubling. It could mean they have calculated that being on Israel’s side against radical Islam is a losing proposition. There is no doubt that Israel’s policy of appeasing its enemies is emboldening its enemies and causing its friends to rethink their alliances.

It is also the height of Chutzpah for Jordan to threaten Israel over Jerusalem. Remember it is Jordan that kept Jews out of the Old City from 1948 to 1968.
