My periodic reminder that the Sunni Muslim Hashemite monarchy of Jordan has done more to protect and restore Christian holy places than any western government has
@nntaleb Can confirm. I’d also add that Christians in Jordan have long been an integral part of public life, serving at the highest levels of government and the military.
@KatalinBogyay Correction, Madam Ambassador: the borders of Israel do not extend to the pilgrimage site. You are referring to the boundary between Jordan and the West Bank, which the international community (including Hungary) recognizes as territory illegally occupied by Israel in 1967.
