Quote:Something doesn't have to be a country to be a homeland for millions of people, and for those people to suddenly be told that their homeland (which was a country at that point, btw) is no longer theirs and has instead been handed to a band of terrorists was a knife to the gut. Gingrich and Huckabee may be technically correct in that Palestine was historically a region rather than a well-defined modern country, but they are speaking to a racist, pro-Israel, anti-Islam agenda. Ten minutes of research proves that beyond a doubt.

 

If David Ben-Gurion were alive today and using the same tactics he did in 1948, we would be calling him a terrorist, and the US would refuse to recognize his "nation". History is written by the victors, remember?
