  SO how come, since 1948 the ENTIRE Arab world has

  Never ever even accepted the first UN resolution

  that established two different states (a jewish and a palestinian one?) AND

  If Israel gives up the west bank

  WILL Jordan give up the land IT annexed in 1948??

  What does this man think will happen if the US or Israel attacks Iran? A nation of 70 million people?

  the 2 parties are in negotiation. why would one party give up anything during a negotiation until an agreement has been reached?

  what land does jordan control that they took in 1948?

  HJS - correct

  Judea & Samria (aka West Bank) was never legally part of Jordan. Under the UN's 1947 partition plan — which the Jews accepted and the Arabs rejected — it was to have been part of an independent Arab state in western Palestine. But the Jordanian army invaded and illegally occupied it during the 1948 war. In 1950, Jordan illegally annexed the territory.

  It is currently not controlled by Jordan.

  Samantha, get your facts striaght -- "Palestinian" Muslims and others in the Muslim and Arab world danced and gave out sweets on 9/11. The item about "Israelis" in NJ dancing is nonsense propoganda.
