Egypt Air, in it's maps, has removed Israel and extended Jordan's territory to the sea. Passengers looking for Ben Gurion Airport will have a hard time finding it even though Egypt Air's subsidiary, Air Sinai, still flies there 4 times a week with an growing number of passengers.

What does this mean? What can be read into this? It's can't be a positive thing, that's for sure.

Can't be good for the Palestinians, either, since they want THEIR own state.

There are those that say the bulk of what could be considered Palestine already exists and it is called Jordan.

Anyone know why the "Palestinians" left Jordan?

I found this site that offers a history of the region, claiming that 3/4ths of the Palestinian State is Jordan. It's an interesting read.

Here is another view of the conflict and the "creation" of the Palestinians.

My friend in Jerusalem has his opinions of "Palestine" as well. And, yeah, 85% of what WAS 'Palestine' and the British Mandate IS now "Jordan".

Of course, the "Palestinians" seem to have quickly forgotten how their Arab brethren have treated them. Look up "Black September" and find out how Jordan massacred 20,000 Palestinian civilians. Look at any rich oil-laden Arab country where Palestinians are imported for labor and treated like second class citizens.

THEN go look up how some Palestinians in Israeli territory in the West Bank do NOT want their area turned over to the PA (Palestinian Authority) because the social safety net is so much better in Israel and there is FAR less corruption.
