ITN Special: The Battle For Amman (1970)
ITN Archive presents in its entirety this News at Ten special programme covering the events of Black September. Also known as the Jordanian Civil War, the conflict was fought between King Hussein's Jordanian Armed Forces and the guerrilla movement of the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO).
This programme features astounding frontline reporting, in particular by ITN reporters Keith Hatfield and Michael Nicholson who, along with 300 other journalists, became trapped in a hotel in the centre of Amman while the fighting raged around them. Hatfield managed to get the captured footage out of Jordan and back to London after he was medevacked out of the conflict zone as a dysentery patient.

Keith Hatfiled died at 61, and reading behind the lines, by suicide. He saw a lot of bad stuff and a lot of bad stuff happened to him during his career.

What plo arafat and the palestinian's did in Jordan was unforgivable, it was the pakistani military who saved Jordan and Jordans king Hussien who they tried to kill several times and take over his country who mistakenly given them refuge.

It was not a mistake to grant our Palestinian brothers refuge. The armed factions shown here did not represent the ordinary Palestinian refugee population, who still live in Jordan with full citizenship and full rights. Modern day Jordanians do not engage in any kind of divisive rhetoric when it comes to this issue, as we recognize that at this time we need to show solidarity with our brethren and not sow discord. History should be preserved, but we do not live in the past.

The past is a lesson one should learn from, and not forget, there is no brethren as you claim, every nation is for it's people first as it has always been, that's why you see today that there is no greater conflict from lebanon and iran. Jordan again is being made a scapegoat for the palestinian problem, as is egypt.

One of the reasons..He helped them out before and then over a period of time,the PLO tried to overtake his country ( which has a millions of Palestinians- who are just fellow Arabs)by setting up road blocks,having their own militants Police the area and then finally they decided to unseat King Hussain!.. So this is what the Israelis have had to deal with for decades!

I lived in the ME for 25 years. The Palestinians have a long history of making bad decisions and the rest of the Arab world knows it. When Saddam invaded Kuwait they were the only ones to support him. When 911 happened they were the only ones out in the streets celebrating.

❤❤❤❤❤
Interesting to note that no one was calling for restraint from King Hussein against the phallustinians 😂
History repeats itself
Jordan surely was disproportionate in it's reaction to the PLO👀
The sounds of war sounded so much crisper back then on old broadcast ...
Curious who armed the PLO?

Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

It seems to me that nobody knows that ALL Jordanians are in fact Palestinians. Palestine is the land between the see and Iraqi border. What became 'Transjordan' is actually the East Bank of Palestine while the West Bank is the land currently occupied by Israel. In the West Bank, Jordan is still referred to as the East Bank.
