Palestinians a lie ...

Newt Gingrich spoke the truth. Not only that the "Palestinians" are invented people, they are venomous. Gingrich also addressed them as terrorist, who teach terror in their schools and called to end the lying about the Middle East. The Arab-"Palestinian" PA official Nabil Abu Rdeneh retorted that Gingrich is looking for votes in his elections campaign and shows he is ignorant on the history of the Middle East and the Palestinian People. Here is the historical truth that propagandist PA Official Nabil Abu Rdeneh deliberately ignores: in March 1977, nearly 35 years ago, the late Zuheir Mohsen, who was a Palestinian leader of the Syria-controlled as-Sa'iqa faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), told the Dutch daily Trouw, the Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinians 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 sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Be'er-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.

Professor Azmi Bishara stated in a well publicized video: "There is no Palestinian Nation, it is a colonial invention. When were there any Palestine? There is an Arab nation and Palestine was, until the 19^th century part of the Great South Syria."

It is amazing how the Arabs, who named themselves Palestinians, believe in the lie they have propagated.
