Rabbi Herzog Challenges Hashemite king

A Challenge to the King of Jordan from the Rabbi of the Arabian Peninsula

The king sent Bishr Al-Khasawneh, his former prime minister, to threaten in an interview today that a new Black September will happen against the Palestinian majority in Jordan, and that no one can falsify the facts, according to him, and that the right of return will be implemented and preserved.

And this is my response: I challenge, him and his master Abdullah II, and the entire Jordanian army and all of Jordanian intelligence, to touch a hair on any one of the 11.5 million Palestinians in Jordan, because that is against the decisions and interests of the United States and against the State of Israel.

If you are a man, Abdullah II, touch the Palestinians, because this is a direct threat to our stability and we will not allow it. And any ????? against the Palestinians in Jordan must result in accountability. Or have you forgotten the fate of Saddam, Abdullah the Last?

The Jewish people will not allow any massacres of anyone in this region, and certainly we will prevent any massacres or even problems in Jordan.

I challenge all the Hashemites to implement their words about the right of return. The Palestinians’ state is Jordan, and soon they will have a Palestinian president in the Republic of Jordan.

The Jordanian tribes, whose number is very small, will be the first to honk and welcome the new president and the money that America will spend on them and on the Palestinians, instead of the poverty in which they live under the Hashemite monarchy.

To the Palestinians: understand, there is no right of return and nothing of the sort.

To the tribes of Jordan: your number does not exceed 750,000 people, no matter how much you lie and say “the million-person tribe,” or the Balloon Tribe. And I advise you: do not cause any problems, whatever their type. It is better for you and for the Palestinians to deal with the new reality, otherwise you will all be deported to the Iraqi desert, and this is something that is currently being discussed.

And I also say: I challenge Abdullah II to deny that he secretly relinquished the custodianship of Al-Aqsa, relinquished the right of return, and took the price, and that the person who oversaw all these concessions was Bishr Al-Khasawneh himself.

And I say to Abdullah II: Here I have challenged you; answer me if you can, little Abdullah, and think before you stand before the greatest state in the region, the State of Israel.

And by the way, it is globalization and its plans that prevent the Palestinians from traveling. Why are 800,000 Gazans prevented from leaving, just as the people of North Korea are prevented from leaving?

I advise Bishr Al-Khasawneh, for God’s sake, he and his king, to disappear in the West as Samir Al-Rifai did, and the forewarned has been excused.

Glory be to You, O God, who made the Israeli army protect more than 11,500,000 Palestinians in Jordan from the Tomato King.
