“[Jordan] is a developing country bursting at the seams with refugees, nearly half the country is Palestinian”
Well, since Jordan was carved out of the Palestine territory, I would say that all of Jordan is Palestinian. I’m not sure why you would make a distinction, unless you are referring to Jordan’s Bedouin population (like those that migrated from the Mecca region). Jordan is as “Palestinian” as Israel, Gaza, and Judeaea and Samaria. All these regions are located in “Palestine”.
And refugees are not necessarily a bad thing. Many countries were built by refugees. Consider Israel, which has absorped more Jewish refugees from Arab countries than all Arab countries combined have absorped Arab refugees from Israel. Israel is doing well, and the majority if her population are refugees (or direct first or second generation descendants of refugees).
If Jordan suffers from refugees (still, after 60 years) and the much smaller Israel which has absorpt more refugees does not, then perhaps the problem is not the refugees.
