Where Dr. Yahgi's family ended up as Palestinians is somewhat arbitrary. I don't know whence Dr. Yahgi's family originated, but many "Palestinians" in Jordan are presumably from the West Bank, which was Jordanian territory before 1967.
Dr. Yahgi was born in 1965, two years before the 1967 Arab Israeli war during which Israel occupied the West Bank.
It was, um, a war.
I'm not interested in sharing my views of Jordan, any more than I am interested in learning you impression of whether it is possible that children are killed in wars.
I want no part of judging this awful conflict, going on since before I was born. I'm an old man too. I simply detest war. In a war, nobody is right, everyone is wrong. That goes for "good wars" and "bad wars."
Isreali scientists, Jewish scientists, have contributed hugely to science and I'm pleased to see an immigrant to the United States, of Palestinian origins win one. My point is that both sides contain human beings important to all of humanity.. One of the most important concepts in Chemistry is DFT, a discipline founded by Walter Kohn, who was one of the last escapees of the Kindertransport.
I'm a pacifist. I hate war. Is that OK with you?
