Their rhetoric is passable if you squint, but their actions are really not. It’s a tossup between them, Egypt and the Emirates for the worst Zionist collaborators in the region.
The fact that there’s a whole section titles “economic relations” should tell you all you need to know, but to add insult to injury they helped protect Israel from the April 2024 Iran strikes.
From the linked article I find nothing that really implicates them in Zionism.
The openly criticize every but of the genocide and have been amongst the first to call them out, they are strict on the west bank and have been calling for a two state solution.
The fact that they do have business accords and treaties with the Israeli has more to do with the fact that they are neighbors and Israel can basically land lock them, if they want.
I’m curious how you’d say they are more supportive to Israel than say the UK or other European countries, who have -with exemptions- more actively supported the Israeli.

They were doing fine until 1994, and less strictly until the early 2010s, so whatever problems they’re solving by trading with Israel are clearly not existential threats. Jordan is too valuable to Western interests for Israel to “landlock them” as you put it. You’d expect an Arab Muslim country to at least boycott Israel, not actively pursue trade relations with them. Given their actions, their rhetoric is meaningless. Now the Jordanian government isn’t run by Zionists obviously, but they clearly give much less of a shit than they want you to think.

Fair enough, thanks for taking the time to explain your position.
I somewhat agree with you, I found the term ‘zionist collaborators’ a bit much, but I’d say that pragmatism and their own trade interests have priority over their moral stance. And I find that that is the most common attitude among many nations. Maybe Spain and Ireland did put some money where there mouth is… but generally nations skirt outright criticism over carefully worded ‘disagreement’ whislt not condamning Israel.
I agree you’d expect something more, certainly from a neigbour that ‘considers the Palestinians as family’, but here we are…
I think this is more of a “If Israel keep this up, they’ll be coming for the rest of us once they’re done with Palestine. We need them as a distraction / punching bag to keep Israel busy.”
So far Jordan has kept their heads down and been left alone, but King Abdullah is probably starting to feeling a little tight around the shirt-collar as Israel’s belligerence continues to rise.
Translation: Me and my fellow Zionist collaborators are doomed because our citizens will notice we’re doing zilch to help Palestinians.
How are the Jordanians Zionist collaborators ?
Not trolling I don’t really know but always thought they supported the Palestinians and argued for a two state solution.

That’s why I said “in the region.”

Ok, thanks for sharing. I did tell them a tier higher than the UAE, however I’ll read up a bit on their position.
