How Arabs detest Israel: let me count the ways
"A coalition of Jordanian opposition parties and trade unions on Monday rebuked the government for secretly receiving the chief of Israel's National Security Council, Uzi Arad, in Amman last week, and urged the rupture of ties with Israel. The protest follows reports that Arad paid a secret visit to Jordan on December 27 and met with Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh." I have to say that the Jordanian opposition movement is the most lame and most timid movement of any other Arab country. And the Islamist opposition figures get so weak in the knees once in the presence of a Hashemite royal clown.
