CarolC,

And would Jordan remain an ARAB state, and have an Arab Moslim majority?

The 1923 treaty creating Jordan as the ARAB MOSLIM HOMELAND, and prohibiting Jews from settling there, which gave the Moslims 77% of the Mandate Palestine land, left the remaing Mandate Palestine AS THE JEWISH HOMELAND. Arab Moslims were not prohibited from settling there, but it was to be the JEWISH HOMELAND. That was the last set of boprders agreed to by BOTH sides- so I do not know why you have never answered why Israel should go to Pre-1967 borders, which the Arab nations NEVER agreed to while they existed. Look at the peace treaty between Jordan and Israel- and the treaty between Egypt and Israel.


re the pellets- the glass would cause clumping of paint, so the pattern would be different- I did NOT say it would be what you say you saw. THAT seems to be a thinner liquid than the normal paint, such as the marking dye I commented it might be- at least from your description

Try the following: take a bunch of ballons- put water with dye in some, paint in others, and paint and some sand in others. Drop them from a standard height, and see the splash patterns. Now, which looks MOST like what you claim you see?
