A propósito das recentes e polémicas declarações de Newt Gingrich, recordo este artigo de 1989 de Daniel Pipes: “The Year the Arabs Discovered Palestine”
This point cannot be overemphasized. Palestine was brought into existence by British imperial authorities, not by Arabs; further, Muslims felt defeated by the British carving out of a distinct Palestinian entity. I know of no Palestinian endorsing this act when it took place in 1920. To the contrary, every recorded opinion suggests intense opposition.
