Stop the BS. Jordanians and the Government are not in Sync Over Gaza.

I am sick of hearing/reading the constant barrage of Jordanian media's nonsense promoting the alignment of views between the Jordanian leadership and Jordanians.

توّحد الصفّ الاردني
الشعب و القيادة في خندق واحد
تثمين الرؤية الهاشمية
الاردنيون يتضامنون حول العائلة الهاشمية في نصرة غزة

One virtue of being away from Jordan is the ability to see the big picture. Being away from all the brainless propaganda of Jordanian media is a helpful way of clearing up thoughts and becoming able to analyze happenings. Being away of the interference of "thought police" is important in forming ones own ideas and independent take on events.

Therefore, to claim that Jordanians agree with the government's decisions and actions regarding Gaza in particular is baseless. If it were up to the Jordanian street, the Israeli embassy would close, the peace treaty would be withdrawn, and, quite possibly, a war state would be declared. However, the wants of the people in Jordan are probably the last thing on the minds of decision makers in a country that is effectively controlled by outsiders: mainly the US.
