Jordan urged Israel to accept a "right of return" for Arab "Palestinian" refugees.

"We differentiate between recognizing the right of return and implementing the right of return," Ma’aruf Bakhit, the new Jordanian ambassador to Israel, told the Jerusalem Post on Wednesday.

According to the Post, Bakhit is an expert on the "right of return" and is action on behalf for his Arab brethren and cousins.

"But the implementation of the right of return is something different and it is up to the parties concerned." Palestinians demand that hundreds of thousands of Arabs who fled the 1948 war when Israel was created -- and millions of their descendants -- be granted a right to return to Israel. Israel, which sees the demand as a ruse to destroy the Jewish state demographically, says they should be resettled in a future Palestinian state. Jordan, which was created in 1922 out of land designated for the Jewish national home in British-ruled Palestine, is home to many refugees who fled the ancient biblical and modern disputed territories of Judea & Samaria belonging to Israel and the Jewish people biblically, historically, legally, morally and rightfully.

Biblically, G-d gave the Children of Israel the "Holy Land" or "Promised Land" also called the Land of Israel to the Children of Israel in an eternal covenant that can never ever be broken.

The Children of Israel were also known as Hebrews, Israelites, Jews (from the tribe of Judah and area of Judea) and "Palestinians" long before there were any Arabs living there.

Historically, these disputed territories have never ever been an independent Arab "Palestine" nation or "Palestinian" people. Most of the Arab population became "refugees" from their own homelands from neighboring Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria and became economic and political refugees and sought better opportunity in Jewish Palestine during the 1920’s. Contrary to lies, myths and propaganda these Arabs did not live in Palestine for generations and generations as they falsely claim.

The Balfour Declaration set aside the whole portion of Palestine for the modern Jewish homeland returning the "Holy Land" or "Promised Land" to its rightful owners. The British reneged and gave away the land and created a fictitious Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, formerly Transjordan. The British Mandate or Palestine Mandate gave away this land as a political concession. Arab "Palestine" was to be Jordan, formerly Transjordan -- not Gaza, Judea & Samaria.

The Arabs refused. The Jews accepted.

The Arabs all launched an aggressive war to annihilate the only Jewish state with the intention of "pushing them into the sea" and conquered illegally Gaza, Judea & Samaria. They told the Arabs to leave their homes and that they could return once the Jews were "removed from their homes" and those faithful to their Arab brethren and cousins diligently obeyed.

Egypt and Jordan then "occupied" these disputed territories of Gaza, Judea & Samaria for nineteen years from 1948-1967.

All Arab nations again attempted to aggressively annihilate Israel and the Jewish people and attacked its borders to destroy and eliminate the only Jewish nation state amongst 22 Arab/Islamist corrupt dictatorships, human rights violators, ruthless repressive regimes, state supporters of terrorism, and tyrannie tat comprise the very bad neighborhood known as the medevil Middle East. The only beacon of democracy and freedom is Israel.

According to international law, when an aggressor attacks another and loses land it becomes legally the property of the aggrieved not the aggressor. Legally, the land belongs to Israel.

Arafat and his band of corrupt thieves also tried to liberate and takeover the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in a bloody coup attempt called "Black September" (ironically the name of Arafat’s group of thugs at the murderous mission of the Munich Massacre in which eleven athletes were kidnapped and killed. More Arab "Palestinians" died during this revolt than since that time trying to terrorize Jews from leaving their rightful home.

If the King of Jordan doesn’t want to give his Arab brethren and cousins their "right of return" to their natural original homeland than why should Israel do so? I wonder why Jordan, Israel’s so called "peace partner" pushes "right of return" for Israel.

Jordan was also the chief proponent behind the World Court of Opinion, The Hague, International Court of Justice (or injustice as the case may be) to rule against Israel’s right as a sovereign state to defend and protect its citizens by building a security barrier and separation fence against terrorism because it did not want its Arab "Palestinian" brethren and cousins to return back home should Israel assert its "right of return" home for Israelis and Jews.

Morally, the mixed up majority of the world should favor peaceful people and rightful owner not a fictitious band of Arab thieves masquerading as "Palestinians" who have a right to "Palestine."

Arab nations expelled almost one million Jews from their native homelands in places like Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Morrocco, and Yemen yet no one brings attention to this "Forgotten Exodus" in all of the so-called peace plan negotiations. What about their "right of return" and reparations? How about an even exchange? Israel took in its brethren and cousins. Why can’t the oil rich nations do the same for their brethren and cousins. Jews expelled forcibly from Arab lands today comprise approximately one-third to one-half of the population of Israel.

Any way you look at this Arab-Israeli conflict the reality and truth is this "Holy Land" or "Promised Land" or belongs to Israel and the Jewish people biblically, historically, legally, morally and rightfully. Especially those who believe honesty is always the best policy.
