Always the smooth talker, Jordan’s King Abdullah II on Friday said that Israel needs to choose between maintaining a “fortress mentality” and living in peaceful coexistence with its Arab neighbors.
What Abdullah forgot to mention is that Israel today has a fortress mentality because its Arab neighbors have never demonstrated anything but a desire to annihilate the Jewish state.
Kind of hard to not develop a fortress mentality when your neighbors are constantly trying to kill you.
This is nothing but another Arab attempt to further turn the diplomatic tables on Israel and demonize its efforts to defend its citizens.
More on this from Meryl Yourish, The American-Israeli Patriot, and israel matzav.

Tell king Abdullah to take them into his country and see if he can live with them . I’ll bet he puts a fence around them too !

It makes you wonder, if King Abdullah realizes just how ignorant he sounds, when making such statements as that. Because, unless he’s living in complete isolation to what’s going on with the rest of the world, he would have to know about the violence, that is constantly besieging Israel. And the threats that have been made of the annihilation of Israel. So of course Israel would be on guard, for the hostility towards them. And for him to make such comments as that, is pure and simple nonsense, and should be regarded as such, by the rest of the world.

The King can go to hell! Wait until an Arab with a bomb vest blows you up your royal highness.
