Former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Newt Gingrich, now a Republican presidential candidate, said the following recently in an interview:

"Remember, there was no Palestine as a state — (it was) part of the Ottoman Empire. I think we have an invented Palestinian people who are in fact Arabs and historically part of the Arab community and they had the chance to go many places."

Former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Newt Gingrich is right.  Arab demands for a Palestinian homeland have always been a masquerade for anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli sentiment among Muslims.
