A brief reminder: The King's grandfather in 1948 invaded "Palestine" and grabbed as much as he could because of his "expansionist appetite." Not for "Palestine"'s sake, but his kingdom's. His reward: A Palestinian assassinated him in '51 bc he was too soft on Israel. Then in '67, when the 6-day war started, Israel signalled to the King's father that it would leave Jordan alone if it stayed out of the fight. Perhaps for fear of appearing "soft," the King's father ordered Jordan's army to attack Israeli positions anyway. And lost everything. Now the King has thoughts on expansionist appetites.
