I live in Amman and did not witness 'massive protests'. I was out in the city and even taking taxis; no worries at all. I'm sure there were protests, but 'massive'? Please. Is this sensationalist journalism?

Israel has imposed a months long blockade on Gaza -- No Food, No Medicine, No Gas (what little gets in goes for $30/gal) -- just starve and kill the people. Either the Palestinians accept or they get attacked for resisting their opression. Israel is the foremost terror state.... and we defend them in their theft and murder, but only because the US population is deceived. We send them our tax dollars and Madoff's billions too. We are complicit in their crimes against humanity. AIPAC and their media heavyweights own our government and our sports-obsessed electorate has no idea what's going on.

the previous comment is full of the stupidest rubbish and lies and downright ugly twisted half-truths.

1. the stupidest thing there is that madoff sends his money to israel. WHAT?! WTF?!?! nobody knows what happened to him or his money and if his money is lying somewhere it's in a secret bank in the seychelles or in switzerland. cut the bull bro.

2. israel doesn't enjoy cutting off the supply from the gaza strip. israel still supplies them with electricity, DESPITE the rockets. yeah, remember those? the ones that are being fired at israel for over 8 years almost non-stop? forcing dozens of thousands of innocent civilians to live in constant fear because their government is not doing ENOUGH to stem the rockets being launched from gaza!
the reason the supplies are cut from the gaza strip is because in those supplies the terrorist groups find their raw materials with which they MAKE the rockets and bombs. JEEZ! i'm wondering if nobody thought what would have happened to the palestinians had they been sitting around in someone else's country behaving the way they do. in russia, for example, you only have to look at what the chechnians are going through. look at the kurds in iraq and turkey, and the armenians in turkey - they were actually MASS-MURDERED by their country, some of them without even having gone to the lengths of terrorism the palestinians are employing.

don't pretend to know what's going on, mr/ms 2ctruth or whatever, you lying stupid ...
