Al-Qatawneh didn’t say “the Israelis,” he said “the Jews,” thereby making it clear that his opposition to the project is not based on opposition to Israel, but upon Qur’anic anti-Semitism. The Jews in the Qur’an are called the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).
“Al-Qatawneh: The government handed over the necks of Jordanians to Israel,” translated from “القطاونة: الحكومة سلمت رقاب الأردنيين لإسرائيل” Khaberni, November 23, 2021 (thanks to Elder of Ziyon):
Khabarni – Representative Dr. Ahmed Al-Qatawneh attacked the government of [Jordanian Prime Minister] Bishr Al-Khasawneh for a general declaration of intent between Jordan, the UAE and the Israeli occupation, to enter into a negotiating process to discuss the feasibility of a joint energy and water project.
Al-Qatawneh told “Khaberni”: “Unfortunately, an agreement of humiliation and a new occupation is added to the previous agreements, which are totally rejected and in violation of the constitution, specifically 33/2, which states that any agreement that is concluded and affects disgrace and expenses must be presented to the House of Representatives.”
Al-Qatawneh added: “Everything that is happening is against the constitution and surrenders to the Jews, and some officials in Jordan have gone beyond normalization to the point of treason.”
Al-Qatawneh said: “The government of Bishr Al-Khasawneh has handed over the water, electricity and gas of the Jordanians to Israel.”

For many decades, Jordanians have refused to accept the partition of Mandatory Palestine by the British Colonial Office upon the determination of Winston Churchill. The wanted it all and were not shy in saying so. Nothing has changed.
Representative Dr. Ahmed Al-Qatawneh slyly refuses to acknowledge Israel’s legitimacy by referring only to ‘Jews’ … those are the enemies he wish to remove from ‘Western Jordan’ … known to the rest of the world as ‘The State of Israel’.
Westman says
Uh, “I believe this has some significance to our problem(Challenger disaster)”, said Richard Feynman as he held up still-compressed rubber o-ring material. Well, Dr. Ahmed Al-Qatawneh’s reference to, “…any agreement that is concluded and affects disgrace…” , might have some significance in why Jordan and other neighbors are unwilling to work with and learn from the ME water experts, the Israelis (Jews).
Jews have written the best engineering and science texts available. If Islamic nations find it “disgraceful” to learn from Jews they are unlikely to reach the West’s standard of living. Spite has a very high cost.
