We are all brothers and we should help each other. Most of Jordanians with Palestinians origins didn’t like it when they were treated by some as unwanted, now they do the same to others makes you wonder, well we ever learn from history. Good bless all Thank you Ahmed for this article it shows that the ME still has good people in it.

Wealthy Iraqis, with nowhere to park their money as they were fleeing their homeland, chose to park a lot of it in neighboring Jordan. Jordanians are often heard complaining about all the construction in their country and boasting of the new businesses and investments. . .well a goodly portion of these are thanks to the Iraqis. Jordan has had a long tradition of benefitting economically from the troubles in the region, but it has also, I think, been quite generous in providing a relatively safe haven for refugees. As a small, impoverished nation, it is somewhat ill equipped to deal with them, but I've seen some real efforts made by Jordanians to deal with these refugee crises. It's a pity that some unenlightened ones are willing to squander that reputation by engaging in a hatefest. In such a troubled region, do those people think that they could never be in a similar situation? How naive. Do unto others, etc. One ver-r-r-r-ry highly placed Jordanian government official quite recently confided in me that the dirty little secret in all this is that Jordan has actually economically benefitted from the influx of Iraqis into Jordan.

I think this is one of the mentalities that not only the Middle East uses to justify things but the whole World. This tit for tat back and forth non-sense has got to stop.

Ahmad's article is a sincere apology which young people everywhere should learn from. At a time where all of us should stick with Iraqis, you are trying to justify their abuses? It just shows how important it was for Ahmad to write this article. I hope people will agree for a change, instead of shame us all in the region by attempting to harm each other. Thank you again Ahmad for giving us hope! Wow, “Hi Five” I am very sad and surprised to see you try and justify this racist hatred.
