Shit, I'm sorry about that. I understand that not everyone's situation is the same. Sorry if my comment came off as offensive - I really wasn't trying to be.
My dad did this stuff too. My mom was going through chemo and he refused to take the smallest precautions like just wearing a mask. I don't think I'd ever been angrier in my life. I'm appalled by this kind of behavior, but maybe try to talk to him. You or your siblings (if you have any) are probably the only people who can talk him down. Also, life is short and anything can happen. Losing your father on your current terms would suck.
Edit: actually though, I wouldn't mind being seated in something like a "family" section. It really is hard to keep babies and toddlers still and quiet on a plane (or anywhere), and I always feel bad for the people sitting next to us.
I think the political situation with Jordan is a bit more complicated than with Iraq. Jordan and Israel have a peace treaty, but are definitely not allies. At least that's my understanding.
