Jordan is one of those countries that appreciates little, demands much, and provides service in the form of just happening to be there to absorb the blow.
They're like that loudmouthed friend that comes with your group to the bar and happens to get wasted and start hitting on girls, only to get rejected and make a scene and get kicked out....and later calls you the next day to tell you they saved your butt from all the "bitches and cunts that would've wasted your time."
The problem is..perhaps, on a diplomatic world, in a world where your supposed best friend gets together with their former mutual overlord country and spies on you, they are friends. The frenemy world. But real friends? Pfft...
Israel benefits from a stable Jordan
Only in that a stable Jordan is much easier to deal with than a random Gaza 2 with a direct link to more crazies who are slaughtering all up and down the greater region.
Makes no sense to trash them other than bias against Arabs
shrug Considering that I still read shit in the news about them voting they hate our guts and stuff every few months, or people shooting tourists at random, I'm pretty sure they're not exactly innocent. They're just more innocent than the other neighbors.
Again, I defer to my example...A person with aspergers isn't necessarily neuro-normal, but, they are more so than the schizophrenic and severely retarded people sharing the room with them when the doctors and staff leave for the night....
Israelis always using the N-word
I used it in America too....because New York gave me a reason to get rid of my California "everyone's equal" blinders and see that race still divides, and people will still hate on you for color even when they constantly complain about it.
As for Ethiopians..love them. They're great. The best Israelis.
Cognitive dissonance? You bet.
Casually racist
Funny, I've seen almost nothing in my newspapers that makes cartoons or stereotyping of people of other races. I have seen plenty of it in Arab newspapers, flyers, websites, and tv though.
