Jews can't be citizens of Jordan

The origin of this law is the British colonial administration:

3) Turning a blind eye to article 15, Great Britain also decided that no Jews could reside or buy land in the newly created Emirate. This policy was ratified — after the emirate became a kingdom — by Jordan's law no. 6, sect. 3, on April 3, 1954, and reactivated in law no. 7, sect. 2, on April 1, 1963. It states that any person may become a citizen of Jordan unless he is a Jew. King Hussein made peace with Israel in 1994, but the Judenrein legislation remains valid today.

seems ok to me. I am able to say who enters my front door, so why not my country?

Force, from 1967 for example, is a triumph of the will and the heart with karma killers like yourself.
