My Way News - Jordan Denies Wanting West Bank Back
AP reports: "Jordan has begun supplying electricity to a town in the neighboring West Bank, but insisted Wednesday it is acting out of humanitarian concern for the Palestinians and not seeking to reclaim a foothold in the territory it once ruled."

Comment: Wait, I'm confused, according to the world media, Israel is occupying Palestinian territory, which implies that the West Bank was formerly Palestinian. This news report says that it was formerly part of Jordan. If true, this would mean that those who previously lived in the West Bank were called Jordanians and not Palestinians, right? It makes one wonder why the Palestinians want what they never had.
