King Hussein is a Hashimite:
Quote:
Hashemite, also Hashimite, is the Latinate version of the Arabic: هاشمي, transliteration: Hā?imī, and traditionally refers to those belonging to the Banu Hashim, or "clan of Hashim", a clan within the larger Quraish tribe. It also refers to an Arab dynasty whose original strength stemmed from the network of tribal alliances and blood loyalties in the Hejaz region of Arabia, along the Red Sea.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashemite
During the war, Lawrence fought with Arab irregular troops under the command of Emir Faisal, a son of Sherif Hussein of Mecca, in extended guerrilla operations against the armed forces of the Ottoman Empire. Lawrence obtained assistance from the Royal Navy to turn back an Ottoman attack on Yenbu in December 1916.[20] Lawrence's major contribution to the revolt was convincing the Arab leaders (Faisal and Abdullah) to co-ordinate their actions in support of British strategy. He persuaded the Arabs not to make a frontal assault on the Ottoman stronghold in Medina but allowed the Turkish army to tie up troops in the city garrison. The Arabs were then free to direct most of their attention to the Turks' weak point, the Hejaz railway that supplied the garrison.

The Hashemite was separated from the Saud tribe by the British victors of the First Word War and given the territory of Trans-Jordan, now known as Jordan, to rule as a sovereign domain in return for his tribe's support of Lawrence of Arabia. The Royal Hashemite Hussein family is overlord foreigner to a mixed Arab population, many of whom are expatriate Palestinians. They are "pander bears" to the greatest extent to save their British imposed kingdom.
Quote:
Hussein bin Ali was born in 1853 in Istanbul as the eldest son of Sharif Ali ibn Muhammad and his wife, Salha Bani-Shahar. He was the last of the Hashemite rulers over the Hejaz to be appointed by the Ottoman Sultan.[4] As a Hashemite,[5] he was highly respected in the Islamic world. It was his noble lineage which granted him the status he maintained in the Hijaz. As a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, even the British, during his period as Emir, recognized this special status.

Quote:
In the aftermath of the war, the Arabs found themselves freed from centuries of Ottoman Sultanate rule, but under the mandate colonial rule of France and the United Kingdom. As these mandates ended, the sons of Hussein were made the kings of Transjordan (later Jordan), Syria and Iraq. However, the monarchy in Syria was short-lived, and consequently Hussein's son (Faisal) instead presided over the newly-established Iraq.

Al-Hejaz, also, Hijaz (Arabic: الحجاز al-Ḥiǧāz, literally "the barrier") is a region in the west of present-day Saudi Arabia. It is bordered on the west by the Red Sea, on the north by Jordan, on the east by Nejd and on the south by Asir.

You need to have a little understanding before you start quoting and understand the political motivations ... What you quote King Hussein as saying seems to me: That his fellow Arab leaders would not assist in the Palestinian exile population problem destabilising his kingdom gifted as the British reward for his father's loyalty in the First Word War. Truth hurts :P
"taal" or "tell (the phonetic pronunciation)" means foothill in Hebrew and "har" means Mount" -- "harim" would be Mts. plural. Tal Megiddo is an archaeological site now ... Been there ...
