Where before, the voice supporting terrorist acts was quite apparent, it has either died down or crawled beneath the surface, afraid of retribution from the country’s security forces. This voice has made an appearance every now and then. On the other hand the anti-terrorism voice has been strengthened and there is a realization that they were once the silent majority.

Jordan First came out a long time ago, its a nationalistic slogan, a campaign, a symbol like the flag now. Why would it isolate Palestinians when 60% of the Jordanian population is of Palestinian origin. Like it shows, is its the people of Jordan raising the Jordanian flag.

It's one thing to give priority to those of pure Jordanian origins, encouraging them to do their best for this country who has always put them and their interests first and another to explicitly discriminate and isolate those of other origins, going as far as accusing them of being one of the causes of what happened.

In other words its enough you dont have bread on the table but on top of that you cant complain. See other parts of society are likely to complain of freedoms on a full stomach. <em>p.s.jordan first? are u talking about palestinians?</em> SC, well like i was telling some friends today, it is the poverty but on top of it is the lack of freedom.

But If it is really the lower class of the Jordianian society it should be due to poverty not really lack of freedom. I think allowing for more freedom will not change anything, since one way or another you need money if you want to be heared and your opinion to be respected. By the way, I've never thought of the slogan "Jordan first" as being offensive until it was chanted by Jordanians at the time of the explosions. If you don't see where I'm coming from regarding this, nevermind please. I can’t agree more regarding the accuracy of the polls.
