Jordan tells Palestinians to die, in the name of being "pro-Palestinian"

Haaretz reported last week:

Palestinians from Gaza being treated in Jordanian hospitals said they have been told they will be sent back to Gaza, sparking alarm and fear among families who now face a forced return to Gaza's collapsing healthcare system, as Israel intensifies its strikes on Gaza City and pushes residents south.
At least eight families, including some with children facing chronic and life-threatening illnesses, were reportedly notified that they must return to Gaza despite expecting to complete their medical treatments in Jordan.
A mother standing beside her two young daughters appealed directly to King Abdullah II of Jordan in a video on X: "We came here for my daughter's treatment. She has cancer, she still has a brain tumor, and we are not done with her therapy."

While most commenters to this video are sympathetic and upset at Jordan, others support Jordan's decision.

You were cursing Jordan and the king, you shameless woman... Shame on you, you fallen woman... You deserve nothing but slaps on your face... Go help her in the hospitals in the West Bank.

Yet even those who are upset at Jordan were silent when Jordan and Egypt (and the Palestinian Authority) decided early in the war that they would not allow any Gazans to take refuge. Tens of thousands of civilians could have been saved - but the critics of Jordan now shared the logic that it is more important for Gazans to stay with "sumud," steadfastness, than to save their lives.

So the rich Gazans fled to Egypt in the first nine months of the war by paying exorbitant fees, the poor were left behind, and the Arab world didn't give a damn.

It is truly Orwellian when Palestinians are told to die from outsiders who swear that they are "pro-Palestinian."

There is no such thing as pro-Palestinian. It is just an empty phrase for "anti-Israel."
