This is very consistent as every time they start a war with Israel and lose, the pie keeps getting smaller, or there would be no consequence for continuing to start these wars.
Some will call this collective punishment, but what would these people do if they had won any of the wars against Israel. You could only imagine based on Oct 7th alone.
When Jordan occupied the West Bank, it was the only time in history that Jews were forbidden to settle in the West Bank.
Just for the readers: Under Jordanian occupation, all but one of the 35 synagogues within the Old City of Jerusalem were destroyed; those not completely devastated had been used as hen houses and stables filled with dung-heaps, garbage. and carcasses. The revered Jewish graveyard on the Mount of Olives was in complete disarray with thousands of tombstones broken, some of which were used as building materials for roads and latrines. Large areas of the cemetery were leveled to provide a short-cut to a new hotel. Hundreds of Torah scrolls and thousands of holy books were plundered and burned to ashes.
