Arab vs. Jewish State

As we get ready today for the latest pro-Pal. march in Jerusalem, the goal of which is to be as provocative as possible so as to entice the police to overreact and thus provide them with sensationalist headlines, what is happening in Jordan?

Well, last night

Prime Minister Marouf Bakhit on Thursday said that open protests are prohibited and will not be tolerated...he stressed that "instigating clashes, and the persistence of a small group of people who try to present Jordan as unstable, targeting the height of the tourism and cultural season to disrupt peace and Jordan's social and economic security, is categorically rejected and the government will not tolerate it."

...He called on Jordanian youth to express their opinion and protest peacefully, but to carry the responsibility of Jordan's security and stability. "They should distinguish between legitimate reform demands and the language that calls for escalation and serves objectives that are indeed non-reformist," he said.

Last March.

Last January.

I guess it ain't that bad living in a Jewish state.
