Newt Gingrich and the "Invented" Palestinian People :: Daniel Pipes (Please Click Here)
When I first heard about Presidential Candidate Newt Gingrich and his opinion regarding the history of those persons who are now known as the "Palestinian People", I was pleasantly surprised that someone who has a chance to be the leader of the free world would tell the truth about this subject. No big deal; I thought to myself.
However, the so called media generated controversy regarding this clearly factual statement made me quickly realize that this opinion by someone who could be President of the United States was, in fact, a very big deal! History clearly shows that there is no basis for this claim of there being a "Palestinian People" entitled to the same rights as the people of the established country of Israel. The facts are that this is an ultra liberal media fabrication invented by the mainstream media and repeated over and over by them and found to be the basis for at least 30 years of United States foreign policy towards the Middle East.
Here is the problem; those 30 years of US foreign policy have been and continue to be an abysmal failure. So why not listen to some new ideas as to how to improve US foreign policy towards the Israeli-Palestinian problem??? Just like with the so called "Arab Spring", our mainstream media continues to bully and manipulate the American people into believing their ultra liberal agenda. My opinion is that these people in our media are pathetic and blatantly wrong about solving the problems of the Middle East; and yet their nonsense holds sway with Obama Administration. My conclusion is that it is time to "throw these bums out"; and then maybe, just maybe, we will get some new people in power with new solutions for this nasty mess in the Middle East.
It's worth a try; since these new ideas and policies can't be any worse than the miserably failed policies that our country has tried for at least the last 30 years.
