How is it still OK that there are kingdoms where an unelected monarch passes power down hereditarily?
It's not OK. I would like to see Democracy bloom everywhere…perhaps someday even in Israel.
It is also strange that the friends of Palestinians around the world are not up in arms about the systematic discrimination against the several million Palestinians living in Jordan.
We are. It's about letting the Palestinians come home from their Nakba from the Israeli expulsions. Israel stands in the way of that.
Half the population, in fact, is Palestinian - yet only a tiny fraction (less than 3 percent) of the Parliament are Palestinians.
If Israel would let the Palestinians come home…at least to a Palestinian state, free of Israeli aggression and illegal settlers, then there would be no kvetching about the Jordananian political system.
Especially considering what a close ally of the US Jordan purports to be.
Israel says that it is a close ally of the USA and look at the horrible state of affairs that it is allowed to visit on the heads of the captive Palestinian population every day. 
Poor, ober. You should look closer to home instead of complaining about the eventuality of a Palestinian state: free from Israeli aggression.
