The politically incorrect Newt

There are a number of things that bother me about Newt Gingrich, but one thing you cannot accuse him of is being stupid. In his private life, maybe, but his political career is usually surrounded with controversy based in his brutal honesty and it is rare to hear someone call him politically dense. His statement of late, where he again steps into a maelstrom of debate and emotion shows his grasp of history and a lack of fright to speak in a way which will piss people off.

I say, go Newt, keep the light of truth shining on those who refuse to listen.

PALESTINIANS DO NOT EXIST, THEY ARE TERRORISTS: GINGRICH

(AGI) Washington - The Republican White House candidate Newt Gingrich has accused Obama of taking sides with the Palestinians. The former Speaker and election front-runner also said that the Palestinians are 'an invented people.'

They are, and here's the proof...

From Zahir Muhsein, PLO executive committee member 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. 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.

The Palestinian history peddled by Arabs and Islamic apologists is a lie, done to keep the jihad against the Jews going. Once Israel is gone, and the Jews scattered to the four winds the real history of the Palestinians will begin.

Gingrich said that were he to be impartial between a civil law-abiding society and a group of terrorists shooting missiles every day, this would not in fact constitute being impartial but would mean favouring the terrorists. Mr Gingrich does not differentiate between the ANP and Hamas.

Interviewed on Israeli TV, Gringrich said 'I believe that the Jewish people have the right to have a state,' while 'we have invented Palestinian people, who are in fact Arabs, and were historically part of the Arab community. [That's why] they had a chance to go many places.' . .
