Mary Anna (12 Dec 2011) ""Palestinians are an 'invented'
people",Gingrich"  Gingrich said during the interview: "I
believe that the Jewish people have the right to have a state,
and I believe that the commitments that were made at a time,"
Gingrich said. "Remember there was no Palestine as a state. It
was part of the Ottoman Empire. And I think that we've had an
invented Palestinian people, who are in fact Arabs, and were
historically part of the Arab community. And they had a chance
to go many places. And for a variety of political reasons we
have sustained this war against Israel now since the 1940's, and
I think it¹s tragic."
