Follow-up on Jordan Valley story;

Following up on the Jordan Valley story of yesterday, this
text appeared on my email log this morning;

Anybody who wants to know what Israel is planning for the Jordan
Valley just needs to drive to the Galil via the Valley. Just south of

with Machsom Erez in size and sophistication.

One of the arguments for Israel “not needing” the Valley is the peace
agreement with Jordan – there is indeed a lot of security cooperation
with them, but the day is bound to come when the Hashemite Beduin
regime is overthrown by the Palestinian majority (which comprises 60-
80% of the Jordanian population, depending on whose stats you
believe). read more
