So Gingrich, the future US President, is also an historian:
"“Remember, there was no Palestine as a state —(it was) part of the Ottoman Empire. I think we have an invented Palestinian people who are in fact Arabs and historically part of the Arab community and they had the chance to go many places,”
he stated to the Jewsih US radio, that had the nerve to broadcast the interview....
As usual, Gingrich is right as are all the US republican candidates, who shine for their ignorance.
Indeed the word Palestine is only as young as 1150BC (2). Not much younger than the name Israel that appeared around 1205 BC (3) What against America ? or Australia ? or Great Britain ? Are they States ?
Gingrich also seems to forget that Israel is an artificial creation of the XXth century that succeeded the protectorate.
Gingrich also seem to forget that also the Jews had many chances to go many places (has he ever heard about the Jewish diaspora ?)
We are not out of ther mess the Americans continue to create in the world. Cameron could be their best president, isolating them from the rest of the civilized world, i.e. from all the world but the UK...
(1) There seems to be an general agreement on the fact that the word Palestine first appeared on the Egyptian Stele of Mernephat. Apart from a revisionist Zionist blog that in a denial state towards the word Palestine, nobody doubts about the fact that Palestine defines the Middle East area were Palestinians and Israelis now live.
