Translation: Me and my fellow Zionist collaborators are doomed because our citizens will notice we're doing zilch to help Palestinians.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I think this is more of a "If Israel keep this up, they'll be coming for the rest of us once they're done with Palestine. We need them as a distraction / punching bag to keep Israel busy."
So far Jordan has kept their heads down and been left alone, but King Abdullah is probably starting to feeling a little tight around the shirt-collar as Israel's belligerence continues to rise.
How are the Jordanians Zionist collaborators ?
Not trolling I don't really know but always thought they supported the Palestinians and argued for a two state solution.

Their rhetoric is passable if you squint, but their actions are really not. It's a tossup between them, Egypt and the Emirates for the worst Zionist collaborators in the region.
The fact that there's a whole section titles "economic relations" should tell you all you need to know, but to add insult to injury they helped protect Israel from the April 2024 Iran strikes.
From the linked article I find nothing that really implicates them in Zionism.
The openly criticize every but of the genocide and have been amongst the first to call them out, they are strict on the west bank and have been calling for a two state solution.
The fact that they do have business accords and treaties with the Israeli has more to do with the fact that they are neighbors and Israel can basically land lock them, if they want.
I'm curious how you'd say they are more supportive to Israel than say the UK or other European countries, who have -with exemptions- more actively supported the Israeli.

They were doing fine until 1994, and less strictly until the early 2010s, so whatever problems they're solving by trading with Israel are clearly not existential threats. Jordan is too valuable to Western interests for Israel to "landlock them" as you put it. You'd expect an Arab Muslim country to at least boycott Israel, not actively pursue trade relations with them. Given their actions, their rhetoric is meaningless. Now the Jordanian government isn't run by Zionists obviously, but they clearly give much less of a shit than they want you to think.

That's why I said "in the region."
Fair enough, thanks for taking the time to explain your position.
I somewhat agree with you, I found the term 'zionist collaborators' a bit much, but I'd say that pragmatism and their own trade interests have priority over their moral stance. And I find that that is the most common attitude among many nations. Maybe Spain and Ireland did put some money where there mouth is... but generally nations skirt outright criticism over carefully worded 'disagreement' whislt not condamning Israel.
I agree you'd expect something more, certainly from a neigbour that 'considers the Palestinians as family', but here we are...
Ok, thanks for sharing. I did tell them a tier higher than the UAE, however I'll read up a bit on their position.
Wait wasn’t Jordan one of the biggest genocide facilitators (outside of the west)?
Yes
Not that I've ever heard of. Have a link?
Why the fuck is there a king in 2025?
Surprisingly he's probably the most tolerable autocrat in that part of the world, but to answer your question: As with half the problems in the Middle East, the Brits did it.
Probably a British copycat of sorts.
