| Who Are the Palestinians? | |
| 2011-12-11 | |
America's North Shore Journal Newt Gingrich is correct. The Palestinians were invented as a nation. So what? There are a great many invented nations in the world today. No one suggests that Timor is “invented” or that the bloody Congo is “invented”. History will not change the present. Israel has to deal with the Palestinians in 2011, no matter who they were in 1948 or 1917 or 800 AD. The harsh reality that everyone resists is that you ALWAYS have to deal with things as they are, and not with things the way you wish they would be. Obama has muddied the waters in the Middle East very badly. Rick Perry said it best in last night’s debate. “This president is the problem, not something Newt Gingrich said.” Our priority as a nation should be the support of Israel. They may make mistakes and we can deal with those as allies do, not with public condemnation and petty wrist slapping. No other nation in the Middle East ought to be closer to the United States as Israel. But, and it is a big but, only Israel and the people who call themselves Palestinians can solve their issues in the end. We can support a process but they are the ones who will have to live with each other. Only those two parties can agree upon a solution that both can support. Our meddling helps nothing. | |

| #2 It's only the media who are making a big deal out Newt's comments. His honesty is refreshing. Not much truth coming from the media or Washington. |

| #1 They are rape-spawn of the genocidal arab conquests. I am indifferent to their suffering. |
