Normalization with Jordan Working Out Great
The 1994 Treaty Of Peace Between The State Of Israel and The Hashemite Kingdom Of Jordan includes some of the following:
The Government of the State of Israel and the Government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan: Desiring to develop friendly relations and co-operation between them in accordance with the principles of international law governing international relations in time of peace... The Parties agree that the normal relationship between them will further include economic and cultural relations...
The Parties will seek to foster mutual understanding and tolerance based on shared historic values, and accordingly undertake: to abstain from hostile or discriminatory propaganda against each other, and to take all possible legal and administrative measures to prevent the dissemination of such propaganda by any organization or individual present in the territory of either Party.
The government of Jordan pledged to use its extensive authoritarian power to establish institutions for the development of understanding and sympathy between the citizens of Israel and Jordan. Suffice to say that declarations of normalization seem to have been premature:
Jordan leads the Islamic world in its antipathy for Jews according to a new poll by the Pew Research Center. The poll, which surveyed 17,000 people in 17 countries, said 100 percent of Jordanians viewed Jews unfavorably. The majority of Jordanians are Palestinians, but the late King Hussein and his son and successor, King Abdullah have been known for their pro-American stances.
100% of Jordanians don't like Jews. That's even better than Stalin used to get in elections.
