Abdullah’s moment of truth

Israel is transferring four terrorists to serve out the rest of their life sentences in Jordan. It remains to be seen whether Abdullah is a true peace partner by whether or not he lets these murderers out of jail.

The Cabinet voted Sunday in favor of allowing four Jordanian nationals to serve the reminder of their life sentence for the killing of two IDF soldiers in Jordan, but some ministers estimated that King Abdullah may pardon the terrorists within the next 18 months.

[…] On November 7, 1990, three of the Jordanians infiltrated Israel and ambushed an IDF patrol, killing Captain Yehuda Lifshitz. The three were sentenced to life imprisonment.

Five days following the first incident, the fourth Jordanian, who was a minor at the time, infiltrated Israel, penetrated an IDF stronghold and murdered Staff Sergeant Pinchas Levi. He was also sentence to life in jail.

If Abdullah pardons these murderers, we will know whose side he is on. I already have my suspicions. And they aren’t good.

One Response to Abdullah’s moment of truth

    Remember this always, the junior “king” of Jordan is in power because of Israeli covert protection. As weird as this seems, Israel and Jordan are in a symbiotic relationship, neither side wants the other to go away. The vast majority of Jordanians are Pals and sometimes the king has to placate the mob to survive, his father was very good at this.
    Israel knows this and sometimes has to hold its nose when the “king” makes his ridiculous pronouncements.
    The ultimate goal of the Pals is the elimination of Israel, and the take over of Jordan. Both Jordan and Israel will do whatever is required to prevent this from happening [witness the Jordan blood bath, black September in the 70’s].
    Note; junior still pisses me off!
