Jordanian protest group calls for more demonstrations against Gaza war, peace treaty with Israel | |

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... and the country’s peace treaty with Israel. Jordan, where nearly half the population is of Paleostinian origin, has seen regular rallies in Amman and elsewhere in solidarity with Gaza since the October 7 Hamas ![]() terror onslaught and subsequent war in Gaza. Recent protests have seen rare festivities between demonstrators and security forces in the capital and in Jordan’s largest Paleostinian refugee camp. The group Jordanian Youth Gathering urges people to return later Sunday to the Israeli embassy in Amman "to support the resistance in Gaza and demand the cancellation of the Jordanian-Israeli peace treaty and cut all ties with Israel." In 1994, Jordan became the second Arab country, after Egypt in 1979, to sign a peace treaty with Israel. "No to a Zionist embassy on Jordanian territory," read one banner at Saturday’s embassy protest, where people have gathered every evening since the holy Moslem month of Ramadan began more than two weeks ago. Security forces say they have arrested a number of protesters 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of Amman at the Beqaa refugee camp. Public security front man Amer al-Sartaawi says in a statement that a "number of rioters" were arrested after "acts of rioting and vandalism, setting fires, and hurling stones at vehicles on the public road." A second statement says women were among an unspecified number of people arrested at a protest the previous night near the Israeli embassy who had also caused disturbances and "attempted to assault" security forces. | |

#10 The River War is a short but excellent read for anyone interested in Winston Churchill or military history. Young Winston tells of his time with the Lancers in Sudan chasing around some Islamo-nutter who fancied himself the Mahdi. Some nice maps of the campaign, as I recall. |

#8 "“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.” ― Winston Churchill, The River War" |
