One thing I fail to understand. At least part of these territories are indisputably Jewish owned (purchased in the early 20th century IINM). A hydro power plant was built there by Pinchas Rutenberg. So while sovereignty might be transferred, what happens to property rights?
Quote from: Bloomberg.com
They also said that Jordan would respect private land ownership rights at Baqura, or Naharayim in Hebrew.
But Jordan's Foreign Ministry said farmers would require a visa and have to enter through the country through official border crossings, instead of the former system in which they could simply enter the areas freely.

So it's about creating a nuisance of using other border crossings rather than establishing one on site?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

clearly it's a political issue. I don't think there any argument that this is about nuisance politics

Indeed. But why the Israeli noise and outcry? Let the Jordanian's take over sovereignty, so they can appease their populace, and set up a border crossing properly equipped for the farming purposes.

Are Jews allowed to own land in Jordan?

Regardless, do you trust the Jordanian Justice system to protect the rights (property or otherwise) of Jews who own or work that land?

And countries (especially in that region) are well know for never going against their self interests..

(And you didn't answer my first question)

The honor of being known to act against their best interests is reserved for the Israelis.

As to your first question, I don't know, but I doubt there is such a restriction.

Hebrew article pointing out BS of people twisting facts about violence against women in Israel (actually murders of women) to support their agenda.

Probably showing an opposite gender white couple wearing fur coats and drinking from a soda can with a plastic straw.

All the movies listed had racial stereotypes

Was any other response expected?
In today's society probably not. Which is a shame . You would think that someone who has done so much for literally thousands of people, of every shape and color , wouldn't be subject to such nonsense.
(Obviously you would be wrong)
May you slide down the banister of happiness & get many splinters of success up your career.

I agree he should not be subject to this but the performers are a different story.
