King Hussein managed to survive during an extremely turbulent time, kept his throne for 46 years, survived coup d'etats, assassination attempts and made Jordan one of the most stable Arab countries. His legacy is huge. I really wonder if he ever had the time to rest during his reign.
@@EmuInDenial idk man, I know their rich and powerful but going to work knowing you could die or your family could be eradicated is different. And talk about pressure
Thank for this so well done documentary. It has been very didactic and it has explained all the possible factors that made this king acted the way he did. Thank you very much!
I'm Palestinian and I wish the West Bank would unify with Jordan again. Socialism-Communism and irredentist nationalism only helped destroy the Arab world and keep it back from unifying. The Hashemites were strategic thinkers, unfortunately the majority of the Arab populace is emotional and wants a man to scream and flex muscle rather than successful rulers. Let alone people who are attached to fake borders and identities that are remnants of colonialism. Jordan couldn't and cannot win a war with Israel. Only maniacs would drag their countries to unsuccessful wars. And here we are, Jerusalem is lost, Israel is swallowing the west bank day by day... Lebanon is a state run by mafias, horrendous war in Syria.... Only Jordan remains
the only responsible for arabs failure is arabs. all the rest is bullshit and excuses giving by us (arabs) to justify weakness hate of each others and making deals separetely beside of being unit and strong. if all arabs will agree this opignon and thinks that it s take to learn from history to
Me either but I can see the positive sides of it. Constitutional monarchies not like the Saudis or Bahrain. One head of state has much to offer in terms of stability with changing governments.
King Hussein literally wrote in his diary book. His mother sold his bicycle to pay the house rent. Now this family owns billions of dollars. Corruption bribery and the absence of human rights in jordan. King Abdullah is a failed gambling player. so must the west country stop support to the corrupt
Masha Allah, a very useful serials of programs about King Hussein of Jordan and the Arabic world. May Allah reward all the people who are involved in the program. May peace come to Arabic world soon, insha Allah.
I agree his leadership has been effective but I disagree with the stripping of citizenship for Palestinians. Sometimes I wish the PLO would've overthrown the monarchy so they could have their homeland.
Wasim Ahmed "A very civilized nation" ?! I think you don't know what you're talking about. but why would you worry about the monarchy remain in power? as long as they serve their masters who made them Royals, they'll stay. they won't get headache about democracy, or human rights or corruption or gamblers who selling public lands ...etc what a very civilized nation!
I read it say JORDAN open arm take PLO & PALESTINE in 1969. But PLO & ARAFAT dont follow the rules & laws, theyre act it their own home. King Hussein go to US & Egypt ask help. He cant punish PLO because he make mistake let them inti his country. And others ARABS country support PLO.
King Hussein was arguably the shrewdest head of state in the Middle East. A first rate politician and master politician. He had the uncanny ability to maintain good relations with everyone despite turmoil all around him. That is the mark of a first rate politician.
Both King Abdullah I and King Hussein were both pragmatic where the other Arabs weren't. In the end the Palestinians lost more than they gained and they continue to lose. The other Arab nations betrayed the Palestinians
Richard Adesakin in İslam, there is sharia for Jihaad too. We aren't allowed to attack, if enemy is far superior and if it will be harmful for us. Under today's circumstances we cannot defeat İsrael militarily. Palestinian Communist Secular Arab Nationalists don't comprehend this
Exactly, King Hussein might not have liked the Israelis or the fact that they were there, but he understood that under the circamstances of his time, resisting Israel would simply cause greater harm to the Palestinians and also to the prestige of the arab world. And he was right. Look at the mess today after several failed wars and intifadas.
GuedesGamer the only man in the Arab world to defeat Israel and he was murdered by white Arabs was Anwar Sadat a black Egyptian Arab so he was asassinated because he was black but his name has been buried along with him Anwar Sadat in the racist Arab world...

wow when i heard 7th feb 1999. I remember in abu dhabi my bro told me no school tomorrow. I asked why and he said King Hussein of Jordan passed away. subhanallah Allah yerhamo
King Hussien was a wise man! To be a good king, you don't just need to be respected and loved only by your own people. You need to be respected and loved by your enemies as well. As an Israeli. We loved him! Even he has played an active role in two wars against us. But he fully understood. Israel is not the problem. Israel is the solution. You need a good powerful country on your borders for stability, To gain goods from it, and get benefits from it. Nor Egypt or Syria combine could provide 10% benefits of Israel has.

If he had listened to his army's hot heads & opened a front in October '73, he would've seen his country destroyed again. June '67 & September '70 were bad enough.
It seems Jordan never cared about Palestine . The king only cared about his image and not losing power . I guess that’s understandable but just such a shame for the Palestinians. They deserve better !
well what can one do with nuclear armed rightwing Zionist extremists who say they are the MASTER RACE and greater Israel will be restored, ALL OF IT and FOREVER. this madness then also backed by US, Britain and the Rothshilds. good luck with that I say. he did superb under those circumstances. the best he could. a true fighter for peace.
Arab monarchies are a case study for how to win a battle but lose a war! Way to hang on to your throne Kings, how will the worms treat you in the grave?
The audacity of the man in 14:50 “Jordan was responsible to liberate the West Bank, and Nasser was supposed to liberate Gaza Strip” !! Shifting the blame and denouncing responsibility for your own fate ??? How on earth would you gain sovereignty when you are considering yourself dependent ?!!
I'm watching to know whats went wrong during that time and we need to shape our political views according to these political mistakes and get our land back soon. Isha allah.
The jordanian Monarchy is from the family of the prophet pbuh, and will not fall.. Nasser fell, they still here.. The jordanian monarchy, done its best according to the situations present, they lost a lot. Palestinians killed Malik Abdullah for his freindship with israel, hated hussain for his talks with israel, and what did plo do in 93 in oslo, Arafat kept it all hidden from Hussain, why? Its easy to criticise the father for his policies, its when you step in to his boots that you realise the ground reality. What did the saudis ever do, the emiratis, and all the others... If the palestinians accepted the house of Hashim, it would be a totaly different reality today.
House of Hashemite doesnt make anyone great.....It was prophet who was great not all of his kith and kins......greatness comes from work....what this pathetic losers doing nothing but showing their Nude wife to world...
In 1958, after the Kassem coup in Baghdad where his cousin Abdallah was killed by Baathists, his turn almost came when on his way to vacation in the plane he piloted (a De Havilland Dove) 2 Syrian Migs dove on him and barely failed to kill him.
The Arabs...i feel sorry for them. So many times mistreated and manipulated. Firstly the Turks, then Great Britain and France. Now USA, Russia and again the Turks.
Except last summer when they went around stabbing, shooting, and blowing up the buses of innocent people. Most are not terrorists, but some are. Both sides are fascists.
Palestinian methods have not yielded any positive results, just the opposite, as the Israelis go forward with their settlements, they encompass more land, not less. Counterproductive by following in the footsteps of Che Guevara, Castro, Ho Chi Min, Mao, and other 'revolutionaries'. They've been outsmarted.
Palestians are two kinds. One is İslamic Resistance - Hamas. The other is Secular, Communist, Arab Nationalist - Fatah. Muslims, for sure support Hamas
I still don’t understand, he was always trying to do the right thing, but every turn was pressured by commies and UAE or w.e they were then. Kassem seems a bit confused, he looks sleepy, maybe he needs a rest.
Cray On This is actually very interesting if you only knew that King Abdullah will be the Caliph of Muslims, King of 10 Arab countries. Hashemites are Special
Two things i learned from this documantry One, husain chose the wrong side of the war. Israel would have been much stronger partner for him. Two, israel has god by her side. god promised israel the land . No one can take it away. The moment arabs nations will accept it there will be peace The middle east

What is the problem with that ?
Every inch of Palestine was ‘illegally’ annexed by European zionists. Illegal in the eyes of history and humanity, not the UN and western rulers.
Hussain betrayed his own brother by naming the dwarf Abdullah as successor.
No he didn't. The Jordanian Constitution states only 1st Son can be King. That's why Hussein was King and not his Uncle Nayef bin Abdullah
