Jordanian Islamists call for ~~more~~ jihad against Israel

Hundreds of supporters of the Islamist movement have called for ending the peace treaty with Israel in light of its policies across the Palestinian territories. They gathered on Friday afternoon at the Abu Obeidah Mosque in Deir Alla, a few kilometres from the banks of the Jordan River,

Far, far from Israel, where it's safe enough to posture pointlessly.

to protest against Israeli measures in Jerusalem as well as its plans to include the Ibrahimi Mosque and the Bilal Ben Rabah Mosque among Israeli heritage sites.

Top leaders from the Muslim Brotherhood and its political wing, the Islamic Action Front attended the hour-long rally, including overall leader of the Brotherhood Hamam Said, its shura council president, Abdul Latif Arabiat and senior officials from the professional associations. Said criticised the Palestinian Authority and Arab countries that agreed to indirect talks with Israel under American sponsorship, saying all links with Israel must stop.

I agree that indirect talks are pointless. If the party of the second part refuses to sit at the same table as the party of the first part, they demonstrate the same lack of seriousness that leads to arguments over the shape of the table itself.

Participants called for "practical measures" to respond to Israeli targeting of holy sites in Jerusalem and other parts of the West Bank. They also pointed to the fact that Israel was defeated in the Karameh Battle, which took place more than four decades ago near the Jordan River,

Really? How went that war, not to mention the others before and since?

stressing that "jihad" is the only answer to recent developments, particularly since Israel is being led by a right-wing government.

Protesters burnt the Israeli flag and condemned what they described as "international silence over Israel's gross violation of human rights".
Silence? Israelis should protest against these protesters for their chutzpah
They also carried banners that called for ending the 1994 Wadi Araba Peace Treaty and expelling the Israeli diplomatic representation in the Kingdom. "The battle of Jerusalem has started," read one banner.

Ooooooo - scary.

The rally was held within the boundaries of the mosque, and protesters were not allowed to head near the Jordan River.

#1 "The Battle for Jerusalem has started" > ANUTHER REASON FOR YEAR 2012 + IRAN, ISLAMIST/MILTERR NUCLEARIZATION.

Despite any MSM-NET + DIPLOMATIC rhetoric to the contrary, ISRAEL recognizes the COVERT DANGER, which in IMO is why there are domestic efforts to get Israel formally into NATO, EU, + MEDITERRANEAN UNION INCLUDING NON-NATO SECURITY ALLIANCES.

Tis a big reason why Israel is econ, geopol dallying all over CENT-EAST-SOUTH ASIA, EVEN IN REGIONAL STATES WHOM WERE HISTOR OPPOSED TO ISRAEL.
