Mudar Zahran’s progressive Solution for Israel and Palestinians
An Arab spring in Jordan is causing a severe humanitarian crisis Few people know that most Jordanians (75%) are Palestinian victims of severe discrimination. Palestinians in Jordan, are denied schools, medical care, jobs and civil rights, simply because they are Palestinians. 60% of the county’s GDP funds King Abdulla’s II lavish lifestyle. Queen Reina spends more than any other Royal on her wardrobe (313 thousand dollars annually) while Jordanians starve. Children dig through garbage already emptied of food. There were tears in Abed AlMalia (a Bedouin Sheikh in the largest tribe in Jordan - Beni Hassan ) cried when he displayed this picture at a conference a year ago.
Jordanians have had enough. Many are risking their lives to join demonstration demanding the king’s resignation. .
It’s been a long time since a leader put his life on the line to fulfill a humanitarian vision. Dr. Zahran’s vision is a Palestinian homeland based in Jordan. Palestinians who live in the West bank are Jordanians who hold Jordanian passports. and have a legal right to enter or live in the rest of Jordan - a right that the King ignored and that Dr. Zahran will restore.
Mudar Zahran calls himself a Palestinian Jordanian, His family left Jerusalem in 1948 when Jordan’s King told them they would return in few weeks. Seventy years later many are still waiting. Zahran’s family refused to be victimized and worked their way into the Jordanian elite. Mudar could have had a cushy life. Instead, he jutoce and better life for his people. When he. publicly opposed the King and and was sentenced to hard labor for life (read death) he ws forced to flee and was granted sanctuary in Great Britain.
Despite fierce opposition, seemingly insurmountable obstacles and death threats , he built the Palestinian government in Exile, filled cabinet positions, outlined their duties and established a constitution for the New Jordan - a homeland for Palestinians in the same way that Israel is a homeland for Jews. Any Palestinian who wishes to live there will be welcomed. The New Jordan will be a country where people are treated equally, where the government provides education, medical care to all, and where people are not victims of a very small small greedy royal family (88 at last count) that steals Palestinian charity money. Without the king, Jordan’s annual budget will more than double.
Mudar Zahran has accomplished what many view as impossible. He has built a strong relationship with Israel and gained their support. Israel sees in Zahran the genuine peace partner they have been looking for - someone they can negotiate with, who will keep his word, and who is genuinely committed to peace. While details of an agreement remain it’s outlines are agreed upon.
Both Israel and New Jordan will gain immeasurably. An end to incitement, pay to slay and terrorism inflamed by the Hashemite Jordanian king are clear and immediate benefits to Israel. Palestinians could be citizens of Jordan regardless of where they they chose to live. Similarly, Jews would have the right to live in Jordan and be citizens of Israel if they wished. People would have choices and nobody would have to relocate
Israel would, empower citizens of the new Jordan with technology, with drip irrigation and aeroponics proven to increase yield per dunam, currently in use across China, with field hospitals that are used in crises all over the world and that address poverty iworldwide. Medicine is a very popular profession among Israeli Arabs who could choose to help. Israelis will benefit from lower food and consumer prices and control of terrorism. Joint tourism could be a profitable industry and Jordan’s free trade zone could provide Israel a gateway for trade in the middle east.
For naby a two state solution has become an impossible dream. Most Israelis want it but don’t think it can ever happen. Palestinians agree. We have a unique and rare opportunity to implement progressive goals in the middle east. Such an opportunity will probably not come again.
Mudar Zahran is a rare Arab leader who deserves our strong support. To learn more about Dr. Zahran watch his videos on youtube or contact him on facebook.
