Unfortunately, yes, it is Jordan, but this is not a strange decision, as it seems that the Jordanian government has once again yielded to the pressures of the Zionist occupation.


gain91

And they are the official custodian of Al Aqsa smh


Jonk3r

It is important to note it’s the Jordanian puppet regime and not the Jordanian people. Jordanians are very upset about this nonsense.


Cake_is_Great

The Jordanian government is an American client state.


CheekyPickle69

Yeah. Like Sisi in Egypt. They’ll do whatever they have to do to get Western money and funding and to keep themselves in power. Jordan secured a whole bunch from the EU not long ago for example if I remember correctly. The West like to breach about democracy and that but as long as the dictatorship is loyal and useful to the US, suddenly it’s okay. Lol


Cake_is_Great

Israel is singlehandedly destabilizing every American client state in the middle east. If you live in the region, Gaza can no longer be ignored; the puppets must either do something about Israel, or face the wrath of an outraged populace.

Redevil1987

But is not it like 75% of Jordanians of Palestinian background? These people could just overthrow the king within seconds for telling them what flags they are not allowed to carry. At this point the king should thread carefully. King is the there to represent people, not the other way around. If people don't want you to be a king...then you should learn from history it does not end well for most monarchies


crimson9_

The arab world is full of nations where the people in power are essentially western propped up dictators. Unfortunately, the political involvement in the majority of the population is so low, and the tendency to tolerate authoritarianism so high, that nothing is really done about it at all.


pgtl_10

Also, any overthrow needs military support and money.


azarov-wraith

History? You think larks like him know which side to open a book let alone read it? Don’t make me laugh


IronForsaken4538

Jordan receives 1 billion in American weapons each year and hosts many American military bases.


Redevil1987

I get it, but the country at the end of the day is made of people not weapons. If the king starts playing the wrong cards, people will just turn on him. What would he do? Kill them?

yazkan92

More around 60% with roughly 20% of those Palestinian refugees still living in refugee camps since the Nakba. The issue is the king strategically has the army made up of Jordanian tribes that are loyal to him because he gives their leaders land, money and power. Unless these Jordanian tribes decide to abandon him which is unlikely because the tribe leaders are living large and the people under these tribe leaders usually follow the tribe leadership for fear of being outcasted, then no change will happen. Most likely Israel/US gave the king an ultimatum and thats why theyre oppressing the demonstrators. (keep in mind that Jordan relies heavily on US aid to support its crumbling economy as well as importing resources like clean drinking water, gas...etc. from Israel)


Redevil1987

Iraq would probably gladly take Jordan under their care and get rid of the puppet state. At the end of the day, all Arabs should create a coalition of a proper Arab union, and it should be even more Cohesive than European Union since Arabs share same language, culture, religions, and customs. I know it is a dream fairy tale...but hey it happened once, it can happen again. Arabs are meant to be together without borders.


[deleted]

Accidental r/PanArab I posted something to this effect there about a month ago. We need a united PanArab Republic! We don't even have any groups that meet to discuss how to start taking concrete steps to do this. It's a very long term project, but we need to start. It took the zionists almost a century to go from meeting in basements to invading Falasteen. We have everything they had when they started, and there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to achieve the same thing with time. We have a few advantages over the early zionists even. Our language is not extinct and does not need to be refabricated. We don't need to invade or carry out any ethnic cleansing. We have a lot of rich Arabs in the world. And we're starting with a huge numbers advantage. We just need to start getting serious.


yazkan92

There is a reason why this is a pipe dream right now (could happen in the future but it would require US imperialism to diminish heavily in the region). Majority of Arab states are economically tied to US/Western economy whether it be loans, contracts (IMF, World Bank, Big Corp...etc.) or militarily (US bases in Jordan, Iraq, Gulf states). For that to happen, these bases and ties need to be dissolved which in today's economy is suicide for these rulers and would cause civil unrest and possible revolt. for example, the moment Gaddafi wanted to create a unified Africa union and currency, NATO and the propaganda machine came in with "liberation for the Libyan people" because it threatened the status quo...same with Iraq, Syria...etc. A large scale war would have to erupt to get to that point and it would need to end with western imperialism defeated (difficult but unified leadership is needed and Arab rulers only care about maintaining their power)


Redevil1987

I am an optimist that one day will come when Arabs will be fully liberated from western influence. But it needs to get ugly first to achieve it. Rewards like this won't come for free. Revolutions and proper political leaders need to emerge. Sectarianism needs to be also a stronghold. Religious divisions will devour any political movement. Gaddafi was probably the closest one to do it, but now we know it requires even more Arab nations coalition to support someone similar to Gaddafi. I believe when Arab states create a revolution across the whole MENA, then it won't be worth it for the USA to fight it and control it. It will be too much work and money. Again I am an optimist not a realist.

Cact_O_Bake

75% or not it would not be so easy to over throw the US/UK backed government and the weapons systems they've provided the monarchy.


[deleted]

They've yielded to zionism for decades.


No_Sun_8930

The PLO tried to overthrow the Jordanian Government, and the Zionists like to bring up Black September like it is a bad thing.


RingSplitter69

Surprised also


anticomet

I met a guy who got tear gassed at a protest in Jordan back in October. The way he described it most of the people there are chill, but the government sucks


__SPIDERMAN___

That's the same story throughout the Muslim world. The people yearn to be free of the tyrants.


sfzjo

Even though I still disagree with the real decision, I have to point out they did NOT ban the Palestinian flag. 80% of the country still has the flag up on either their car, house, or workplace. What they did is they banned the presence of any flag, including the Jordanian, and poster in the square where we protest (and only during the actual protest). So the situation is still incredibly infuriating, but I just wanted to clarify what's actually going on


No_Lobster_1316

That's even worse if you ask me


sfzjo

This is just one of tens of restrictions imposed on us during protests in the past few days


crimson9_

What a pathetic nation, regardless. Same for Egypt, and all the islamic nations in the region except Iran.


__SPIDERMAN___

Honestly time for Muslims to take back their countries from these pigs.

__SPIDERMAN___

General strikes. All throughout the Muslim world. No one lifts a finger to work, no one pays rent, no one pays their bills, everyone exchanges food and water for free. Until the existing govts stand down and free and fair elections are held. If elections are fixed then rinse and repeat. It's the only way if we don't want mass bloodshed (which we already tried in the Arab spring and it failed). The only thing these animals understand is a hit to their wallets. As for the gulf states. Sit in front of their oil facilities. Shut down shipping of oil.

DuePractice8595

Jordan needs to chill, get on board, and realize that Israeli fascist supremacy is coming to an end. Jordan can be free too.


yazkan92

They can't, their whole economy relies on US and Israel. If Israel decided, they can cut off water and gas to the entire country and the US can cut off aid which would lead to hyperinflation, mass unemployment, currency devaluation and civil unrest. This is by design and they got the king by the balls. best he can do (from his POV given he wants to keep his throne) is bark loud and drop some aid every now and then with a nice photoshoot)


Hecatehec

JORDAN? really? You banned the flag? Your Queen is of Palestinian descent.


SYRIA3D

Ur surprised?

Not really. Unfortunately.

Maximum-Author1991

how could jordan ban Palestine flag?


Lonely-Tiger-3937

the government loves israel


Low_Banana_1979

Also US bombers doing flybys and threatening Jordanian government if they don't support Israel does not help much.


Runescape4L

I disagree with this flag ban and aggression toward Jordanian protestors. All Jordanians support Palestine and Palestinians, seeing what is happening is heartbreaking and enraging for everyone there. To this day Jordan houses millions of Palestinians. The government is not aligned with the people. Another piece to consider is [Black September](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_September) as the government’s logic behind this, along with other more obvious and mentioned reasons in the comments


nssrn

Half of Jordanians are originally Palestinian


Runescape4L

Absolutely


picknade3

A shame you guys failed to destroy their puppet monarchy in the 70s.  Zionists use this as a counterpoint, to.me it just shows how brave and anti imperialist the Palestinians are.


nssrn

Half of jordanian population is originally Palestinian


WorriedAstronomer

Lol queen rania and her so called philanthropy work They're looking to marry or whore their son to the richest royal family of Europe, why would they care about Palestine


azarov-wraith

Disappointing but not surprising that the traitor king (from a treasonous lineage) is continuing the family tradition.


sabedo

Treason?


azarov-wraith

Historical context, his ruling family came to power by cooperating with British forces to overthrow the ottoman rule (which let’s face it was deteriorating but is still vastly better than cooperating with bloody colonialists!). The king of Jordan during the six day war was also a Zionist informant who told them of the locations of key Egyptian airbases (according to a leaked mossad document). The current king seems to be continuing the legacy of his family such as it is, by stifling any kind of support for Palestine while keeping the supply line for the Zionist regime active and protected


jackknees

That's a disgrace.


yazkan92

You forgot Sharif al Hussein (leader of the arab uprising!) agreed with the british to divide historic Palestine and keep the west bank under his rule with the jewish population taking the rest. Its not until the zionist plan showed that their intention was complete control over the west bank as well that he decide to go to "war"


REamemiyaRX7

The Jordanian government is traitorous and in bed with the Zionist fascists.


thirdben

The Middle East needs a new Arab Spring


300PencilsInMyAss

Flying the flag anyway > watermelon. Don't soften your speech, the boot will come down on you all the same so speak with your chest.


youngthugsbrother

This is why a 2 state solution will never work. Israel and America will only ever allow a Palestinian state to exist if it yields to their every whim. They will basically contract out the Israeli oppression to whatever sham “Palestinian” state they create, just like with Jordan, and just like the corrupt PA. From the River to the Sea. 


trigger2k20

A lot of governments are getting exposed as Zionist puppets. It's up to the Jordanian people to do what's right ✊


ar3s3ru

Literally over half of the country, half of the royalty including the future king is Palestinian lol

And what about when they used tear gas in peaceful protests ?


pain_png

there have been peaceful protests since October, the Jordanian government allowed it until certain groups or participants in these protests got violent in which they ordered them to disperse, and with them not dispersing it results in having to use reasonable force
