Should Jordan be a Palestinian state since 80% of its citizens are Palestinian? Yes or No? n/t

1. Jordan should be governed by the majority of the people who live there

It isn't a substitute for giving the Palestinian population of the West Bank self-determination, and it wouldn't justify making those Palestinians accept IDF troops in their midsts as a permanent fact of life(in fact, it would pretty much make it impossible for Israel to justify having troops in the Jordan Valley at all.

I feel like you're trying to trick me into accepting the "Jordan is Palestine" canard. And it simply isn't that simple.

2. Not saying Jordan is Palestine but with a Palestinian majority ruling, it would become...

...at the very least "a" Palestinian state, and along with Gaza and the W.Bank (minus the settlements) the 3 combined could form a united Palestine. That gives more than 80% of the original Palestine Mandate the Palestinian homeland.

Think that's fair?
