I know enough history to know, sorry...

Reader comment on item: Newt Gingrich and the "Invented" Palestinian People
in response to reader comment: Newt's right, but...

Submitted by Frederick (Canada), Dec 12, 2011 at 01:07

Truly there is no comparison to any other culture, Israel the Jewish State stands alone as the most unique of any other. So you don't know enough, so try again. A little knowledge can be dangerous, try studying ancient middle eastern history from all perspective's.
