re: What if Jordan is the real Palestine?

I don't understand why it is so difficult to understand that Palestinians are not Jordanians, Lebanese, Syrian, or Egyptian.
Just because they are Arab, they can easily take up residence in Jordan? Lebanon? Syria? Egypt? What's the difference, they all like falafel?
Call them what you want, but if you and your family can trace thousands of years of roots in Texas, being uprooted to Mississippi should be the same thing? Since we all like fried chicken?
The disregarded FACT is, during the 1948 war Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, and especially Jordan - they all took on hundreds of thousands of fleeing Palestinians. People who were farmers, carpenters, etc with no weapons or means to defend themselves.
My father survived the "1948 War," and saw his family members hanging from trees, blown to pieces, beaten, and murdered. It was a hostile take over. There was nothing just about it.
Jordan, Palestine, Trans-Jordan, Israel - all just names for the Holy Land - where Arabs lost their right to live.

Two constants in this region:
1. Israel continues it ethnic cleansing and settling in land that isn't theirs.
2. Hamas & other radical militant groups are uncompromising in their stance toward Israel.
Both are getting what they have wrought. The hatred on both sides continues to build and I fear that there will be a self-fulfilling prophecy which ends in genocide for one or the other.
The creation of Israel as a Zionist state was a mistake as is evidenced by the chronic state of war that Israel & her neighbors exist with.
