Peres: ‘Jordan is Palestine’ plan is baseless hallucination
Jerry Gordon Comment: Israeli President Peres may criticize the ‘Jordan is Palestine’ solution as ‘baseless hallucination” , embodied in the Knesset bill proposed by M.K. Arieh Eldad and passed with the support of 53 members in a preliminary reading, but he’s the one who pressing the delusion of a two-state solution on Jewish soil. The public sentiment to push for the ‘Jordan is Palestine’ solution reflects the body polity’s unease that a Palestinian state carved out of disputed territories in Judea Samaria would become another ‘terrorstan’ like Hamas- ruled Gaza. This impressive Knesset vote should also communicate resolve to President Obama’s delusion that a two state solution is the road to peace in the Middle East. Hardly as Vice Premier Moshe Yaalon has pointed out, because diplomacy has failed to get the Palestinians to form a state and the only option is to manage the conflict – see here. The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan may ‘disappear’ within the decade because of internal Salafist revolt. Jordan would become a de facto Palestinian state on the east bank of the Jordan River, originally ipart of the Jewish Homeland under the League of Nations auspices. So Kol Hakavod (all honors) to Eldad and those M.K.s who voted for the “Jordan as Palestine” bill. They know reality when they see it.

M.K. Arieh Eldad
National Union MK Aryeh Eldad’s proposal that Jordan take responsibility for the Palestinians’ welfare is a “baseless hallucination,” the president told Israel Radio.
Peres said Eldad had flagrantly intervened in Jordan’s internal affairs and that his suggestion was a provocation that was made merely for the sake of arousing a commotion.
The president added that the Palestinian problem is to be solved “with the Palestinians on Palestinian land and not at the expense of any other party,” according to Israel Radio.
Eldad brought the proposal for a preliminary vote in the Knesset plenum, where it passed with the support of 53 members, including Labor Party ministers Ehud Barak, Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, and Yitzhak Herzog. The bill will now go before the Knesset’s foreign affairs and defense committee. (Continue Reading this Article)
But such a state will be created at the expense of Israel.
Yep. Peres is a world class asshat. He rushes to defend the faux state of Jordan while claiming Israel also needs to create a third and a fourth Palestinian state. Yeah, sure!

SLIDESHOW: Israel & Region | World “We are going to be putting forward very specific proposals to the Israelis and the Palestinians. That’s what Senator Mitchell has been doing over the last couple of days,” Clinton said at a press conference following her lunch meeting with Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit.
Forget it Hillary, you better go home and check on Bill I am sure he is busy chasing a skirt or two.
George did such a lousy job on the baseball investigation you can only imagine what he could come up with.
He is overly impressed with himself ever since the Clintons praised him for the job he didn’t do in Ireland.
Israelis don’t need knuckleheads offering suggestions.
With all our Canadian seniors going south for the winter, how about declaring
FLORIDA IS CANADA.
M.K. Eldad is correct and circumstances should be as he describes…
Peskin, you’re ont making sense with your “Florida is Canada” remark. As a US citizen of Canadian heritage, who has lived for a year in the Commonwealth, I have no objection to a reapproachment of some sort with our northern neighbor. In fact, you can have Florida if you want it.
Concerning the idea of giving Judea and Samaria, in some fashion, to the Jordanians is not at all a bad idea. Obviously, the Jordanians don’t want it; because the Pals will swallow Jordan and the Hashemite rulers if the place were simply annexed by them. If the Jordanians saw this as a real possibility, though, they would have to do some serious talking with the Israelis to guaranty Israeli support for the king — in short, for a REAL partnership between the two countries.
I am not opposed to such an arrangement; and you, who presume to be desiring real peace in the area, ought not to be opposed either. But don’t worry — we’re talking about the Middle East, where the best of plans are rejected by those most likely to benefit from them, on a regular basis.
Oatmeal:
Sorry Oatmeal, with the foreclosure rate in Florida being as it is, we don’t want it. However if you can spare Hawaii, we might have a deal.
Thanks for post. It’s really imformative stuff.

Yes that is a nice idea but have you ever thought of going up to the biggest guy on the subway and telling him your thoughts on this. I wonder what he might do, or would you even do it.
