„Luckily, King Abdullah of Jordan doesn’t have a Jewish soul
still yearning, as they say in Israel’s national anthem, and as our leaders
have. Otherwise, he would have violently driven out dozens of people when the
first wave of Syrian refugees knocked on his kingdom’s gates. Thus, it can be said, the Jews have a yearning
soul but the Jordanians are a light unto the nations. At least that’s
the way it looks on the ground.“

Jordaniens und Israels Verhalten gegenüber syrischen Flüchtlingen
