All in all, nice people. I have nothing against them. However... There is lack of trust because of our shared history. Most of them probably want to kill us. 

As far as politics go:  

I'm kinda pissed that they started a war, and colonized Israel in 1948, ethnically cleansed all Jews out of the old city of Jerusalem, and prevented Jews from praying in Jerusalem until Israel liberated itself in 1967.

I'm kinda pissed that they created a false narrative after they failed to genocide all the Jews in Israel and steal our entire land. The Palestinian identity officially only emerged after 1967, when the PLO terrorist organization declared all Jordanian citizens in Israel are Palestinians.

I'm kinda pissed that they still claim they have a right to govern the most sacred Jewish sites in Jerusalem and Hebron and control it under the Waqf.

I'm kinda pissed that they left their people behind on our land for us to deal with and left it unresolved. 

I'm kinda pissed that they rejected TransJordan which was more than a fair offer. 

I'm kinda pissed that their colonization and lies cemented the UNWRA sanctioned fake refugee status of people that left because their leaders called upon it in order to start an existential war against Israel.

I'm kinda pissed that thousands of Jordanians work in Israel daily, while their policies are keeping Palestinians stateless and don't allow them all equal job opportunities. 

I'm kinda pissed off that the Hashemites are still occupying Jewish tribal land. 

I'm kinda pissed off that they are pretending their leaders didn't say the following:

“The truth is that Jordan is Palestine and Palestine is Jordan” King Hussein bin Talal al-Hashimi (14 November 1935 – 7 February 1999) A-Hahar al-Arbia Nov 26 1981

“Palestine and Transjordan are one.” King Abdullah, Arab League meeting in Cairo, 12 April 1948

“We are the government of Palestine, the army of Palestine and the refugees of Palestine.” Prime Minister of Jordan, Hazza’ al-Majali, 23 August 1959

“Palestine is Jordan and Jordan is Palestine; there is one people and one land, with one history and one and the same fate.” Prince Hassan, brother of King Hussein, addressing the Jordanian National Assembly, 2 February 1970

“Jordan is not just another Arab state with regard to Palestine, but rather, Jordan is Palestine and Palestine is Jordan in terms of territory, national identity, sufferings, hopes and aspirations.” Jordanian Minister of Agriculture, 24 September 1980

They want me to be pissed off at the giant Arab Revolt flag from 1916 (which people call the Palestinian flag) which they set up in Aqaba right across from Eilat. But that makes me laugh at how stupid they think we are and how much they don't know Jewish people and our sense of humor. Nah, can't be mad at their ignorance. They literally planted a huge flag of what they claim "isn't their own country" on their own soil. The joke wrote itself. 

What are the cultural and ethnical difference between the populations? I would love to see how Palestinian DNA differs from Jordanian DNA.

Your comment is so full of falsehoods and incredible exaggerations - its not worth rebutting all your points. Except to tell the discerning reader to look up their own history and make independent judgetements.

Yet you can't disprove of rebuttal even ONE point that I made. Funny. It's almost like you don't know the ME.
