Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan calls to end ties with ‘the Jews’
In a protest against Israel’s 50-day operation against Hamas and other terror operatives in the Gaza Strip, a senior member of the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood decried the kingdom’s diplomatic relations with the Jewish state, and offered his and the Jordanian people’s unwavering support for Palestinian “resistance” fighters who wage “jihad” against IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians.
Speaking to a crowd of hundreds of protesters on August 29, Himam Said, the general supervisor of the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood, said that the Hashemite Kingdom’s population, unlike its political leaders, backed the Palestinians in their struggle to defeat the state of Israel.
“I have a message to official Jordan,” the Brotherhood representative said, according to a translation provided Thursday by MEMRI, the Middle East Media Research Institute, apparently addressing Jordanian diplomats and members of parliament.
“This message is not directed at the people of Jordan, for the people of Jordan are here,” he continued, gesturing at the masses of people who had gathered at the scene.
