Black September in Jordan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In September 1970 the Palestinian rose up and tried to take over Jordan. The Jordanian army slaughtered 20,000 Palestinians. In the 70s they could get away with such brutality.
Fastforward to 2011. The Palestinian, who now make up the majority, are uprising again. The Jordanian King is running scared. He fired his PM and entire cabinet. They protesters are still taking to the streets. It won't be long before open revolts. I doubt the Jordanian arm could get away with slaughtering another 20K Palestinians!
