    Jordanian protesters demand closing of US Embassy

    AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Demonstrators have demanded the closing of the U.S. Embassy in Jordan over Wikileaks cables suggesting covert U.S. plans to turn Jordan into a home for Palestinians.

    It was a rare anti-American demonstration in Jordan, a close ally of the U.S.

    The 70 activists burned American and Israeli flags in a noisy protest opposite the embassy in Amman on Wednesday.

    They chanted, "The people want the Americans out."

    Roughly half of the country's 6 million population is of Palestinian origin. With Palestinian-Israeli peace talks stalled, some Jordanians fear Israel may try to deport Palestinians to Jordan.

    This week Jordan's King Abdullah II spoke out strongly against using Jordan as a substitute for a Palestinian state, a concept favored by a tiny extremist minority among Israelis.

      Should we blame the Jordanians? Hell no. Israelis are the cause of global unrest. Kick them to the curb and hold them accountable for the atrocities they've committed against others. They are a chronic, malignant disease that rots away and destroys. They have no place with decent people.

      Shekel Trader you work very hard to use every #$%$ trick in the book to sway people. You are not fooling anyone with an ounce of intelligence. Perhaps you want all the Arabs under Turkey again. Maybe we can go back to when Islam didn't even exist. That time there was no problems with Arabs.

        What's wrong with bringing all the Arabs under Turkey?
        They are a modern and westernized Asia Minor state.
        Never thought of this before, but its not a bad idea.
        You should be proud you thought of it.

      What is the matter with these Jordanians? The area Arabs call the West Bank is full of Jordanians. Why don't they want their own people back? After 1967, Jordan continued to include these Jordanians in their economy. After Jordan gave up all claims to the land, they cut off their own people. JORDAN TAKE YOUR GARBAGESTINIANS BACK PLEASE!

      The US government is losing respect from other countries because of things just like this. And guess who's in the US government committing these acts?
      .
      Clean the Israel First Jews out of government and the problems will disappear overnight.

    • Dee  •  8 mths ago
      Good, let's get the Americans out per their wishes. That includes the countless BILLIONS in free US TAXPAYER money that gets sent to them.

      Jordan is Palestine. It`s 80% of the original Mandate for Palestine. The King of Jordan and the Hashemites are really Saudi Arabian and fear loosing power. Israel should be for the Jews and Jordan should be for the Palestinians. This is the real two state solution. It`s the best two state solution. The King of Jordan and the Hashemites should return to Saudi Arabia and let the Palestinians have there own State called. It`s not Israel who is preventing a Palestinians from having a state. It`s the King of Jordan and the Hashemites who are really Saudi Arabians.

      Interesting headline then we find out it is a tiny minority of agitators involved. As well, the idiot writer should learn that it is far more than "half" the population that the same as Palestinians. These Arabs came during British rule. They are SQAUTTERS on the land. Jordan take your Garbagestinians back please.

      I gotta side with Jordan... they don't want these Palistinian trouble makers in his country either. No one wants them... they are like Eastern Europes Gypsies.
