Jordan and the West Bank July 11th

Toronto Star readers should remember, as Mr. Harper does, that the West Bank was never an independent state but was expected to be Jewish territory under the post WW1 British mandate. It was annexed by Jordan from 1948 to 1967. The obviously solution is not to join Fatah with Hamas to form another terrorist state, but for Israel to negotiate a return of much of the territory to Jordan, a country that has a peace agreement with Israel and whose majority is already Palestinian.
