The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct Palestinian people to oppose Zionism.
For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.
From interview with Dutch newspaper Truow in 1977
“The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity.

Exactly. bttt
If something is a “TRUTH” of history, and it’s EASILY proven who “invented” it, not only was Gingrich’s remark not stupid, it indicates to the electorate that the jig is up and that the way he would handle the Israeli/Palestinian “question” would be just the opposite of the phony dog and pony show that’s been going on over there since Arafat.
He made a political calculation by saying it -—(just like he did when he said he’s make John Bolton his Secretary of State http://hotair.com/archives/2011/12/07/gingrich-ill-make-john-bolton-secretary-of-state-update-newt-up-big-in-ia-sc-fl-in-new-cnn-polls/ which is another indication of how he would “handle” the Middleast)-—, and is prepared to defend it, you can be sure. I would LOVE to see him put the establishment ‘s candidate (Romney) on the spot and make him deny that, along with the “truth” about who and what Obama is all about, which the establishment FEARS TO TOUCH with a 10-foot pole.

“I’ll tell you this. Whoever in this field takes it to Obama the straightest and the hardest and the most direct, is who’s gonna win. They’re gonna have to take it to Obama. This isn’t a ‘pussy-foot around’ type of election. This is not, ‘Oh, we’ve got to worry about what they’re gonna say about us, we’ve got to worry about PR, about charges of racism.’ Somebody’s got to be willing to take it to Obama. It’s going to be about him and four more years of this stuff and we’ll see if there’s anybody in this field willing to do that.” ~ Rush Limbaugh - March 25th, 2011

I have a feeling that Newt will say another so-called “stupid” thing, like: “Obama is a Communist”
GO NEWT! Let the chips fall where they may.
