On the Other Side of the Jordan

Wikileaks provides this insight (with thanks to Victor S):-

¶15. (C) The right of return is certainly lower on the list of East Banker priorities in comparison with their Palestinian-origin brethren, but some have thought the issue through a little more. NGO activist Sa'eda Kilani predicts that even (or especially) after a final settlement is reached, Palestinians will choose to abandon a Palestinian state in favor of a more stable Jordan where the issue of political equality has been resolved. In other words, rather than seeing significant numbers return to a Palestinian homeland, Jordan will end up dealing with a net increase in its Palestinian population.

The settlers could declare an independent state and enjoy the customary protections against the threat or use of force by the armed forces of Israel. That might delay their removal a bit, but the Yesha Council is comprised of Israeli state officials who can still be prosecuted for their decades-long involvement in the joint criminal enterprise involving the establishment and maintenance of the illegal settlements. Nothing would prevent the Palestinians or other states from freezing their assets and arresting them after the UN vote on recognition.

You are so fucked, Revenant
