Jordan’s King Abduallah is again blaming Israel for the ongoing lack of peace.

Right…

Jordan’s King Abdullah II said Thursday that Israel was “playing with fire” in Jerusalem, stressing that the Hashemite Kingdom retains all political, diplomatic and legal options to “protect” Jerusalem and its Muslim holy sites.

Speaking to foreign ambassadors on the shores of the Dead Sea, Abdullah said reaffirming the Palestinian quest for statehood was a top priority for his country.

Protect Jerusalem and its Muslim holy sites? The holy sites (all holy sites, not just Jewish ones) are protected under Israeli law - unlike when Jerusalem was under Abdullah’s father’s control - when they ransacked and destroyed practically all Jewish sites in Jerusalem - ransacking cemeteries, blowing up shuls, etc. There is freedom of access to all the sites (except when the Muslims use the Temple Mount and the al Aqsa mosque to preach violence at their Friday sermons in which case such access is limited to older Palestinians - not the typical “youths” (kids and men under 30) who engage in the stone throwing and rioting typical during the Intifada and the all too frequent stone throwing incidents.

Palestinians could have had a state if they wanted. They chose war. They chose the Intifada. They still do. Fatah doesn’t want to make peace, because they’ve indoctrinated generations of Palestinians to believe that they have a birthright to all of Israel, not just the territories. Hamas doesn’t even recognize Israel’s existence, except for targeting data purposes.
