No. It's the other way around. most Jordanians are of Palestinian ancestry. Mandatory Palestine was historically more populous than Transjordan both because the area of Mandatory Palestine was less arid and because the New Yishuv improved living conditions in Mandatory Palestine whereas Transjordan did not receive similar attention. When the Palestinians fled overwhelmingly to Jordan after the Arab-Israeli War of 1948, they became the majority population in Jordan.

Why were the Palestinians left without a homeland?

The Palestinians were left without a homeland because of the aftermath of the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9. The cease-fire agreement provided for Israeli, Jordanian, and Egyptian control of the entire British Mandate of Palestine. Palestinians were denied their Right to a State by all three of these countries.


Where should the Palestinians go after creation of Israel?

Answer 1I am sure most countries in the world will be happy to receive them, and that include my country Malaysia. The Palestinians (both Muslims and Christians) have suffered so much over the years. However I am so sure that the Palestinians would rather die in their own homeland than having to move somewhere new. They are genuine fighters.Answer 2I wonder of the question. The Palestinians were living in their lands peacefully with Jews and Christians. When Israel was founded in 1948, it was the UN decree to divide the lands between both. Israel continued its occupation including the UN approved territories for the Palestinians. Then now you ask where the Palestinians (Muslims and Christians) will go? It was not better to ask what the Israelis should do to be fair with the native land people?Answer 3I would second Answer 2's curiosity concerning the origin of the question since Palestinians deserve the right to live on their own lands. Many ended up staying on their own lands and the number of Palestinian Israelis has increased every year since Israel's Independence War concluded in 1949. However, many Palestinians did flee the State of Israel and there are over 2 million Palestinian Refugees, so it is worth asking where those refugees should go. Many Palestinians fled to Lebanon and Syria, which have proven to be extremely bad choices. The way that the Lebanese, in particular, have brutalized the Palestinian Refugees is far worse than even the Israeli Occupation. Jordan was marginally better in that it afforded some Palestinians Jordanian citizenship, but the Jordanian monarchy is fearful (and reasonably so) that a substantial Palestinian majority could lead to its overthrow. As a result, Palestinians have regrettable treatment in Jordan.Probably the best place for Palestinians to go would be the West, especially the United States and Canada if they could swing it. Those countries would treat them less barbarically than all of their neighbors would. Additionally, unlike any Muslim-majority country, Palestinians can apply for asylum in certain Western countries if their situation is severe enough.
