An irate reader in Jordan sent me this regarding a link I put to a story about the closure of a cafe: "I wish you would stop advertising the fake oppression of Madian al-Jazeera, the part-owner of the gay hangout Books at cafe where he insisted even 15 years ago to employ the son of the then Israel ambassador as a waiter and is currently (meaning Madyan) the closest personal friend of the current Israeli ambassador. Madyan was so excited about the signing of the Wadi Araba agreement because it meant he... As a friend of her majesto Queen Rania since school days in Kuwait, he has always had access to authority." But I don't understand what the reader is saying? that King PlayStation and his Youtube wife are so opposed to Israel that they decided to punish the cafe for alleged ties with the Israeli ambassador?
