Palestinians in Jordan should follow the Egyptians' lead

By Israel Harel

COMMENT:

I usually do not post articles by this Israeli writer, but this piece is worth reading.

".....The fire that was ignited in Tunisia and took hold in Egypt is liable to spread to the streets of Amman, Nablus, Jenin and Ramallah. Even if the people running the Palestinian Authority were made of different stuff (and they're not ), these flames destroy any chance of the peace track progressing. The masses, as in Egypt and Tunisia, will flood the streets and bring down rulers who have dared betray the Palestinian people. The rehearsal for such a protest was actually just held, following Al Jazeera's recent disclosures related to the Palestinians' negotiations with Israel.

With the Nile floods threatening to spill over into Jordan...."
