hum(m)us

Remember, there was no Palestine as a state. It was part of the Ottoman Empire. We have invented the Palestinian people ... . For a variety of political reasons, we have sustained this war against Israel now since the 1940s, and I think it’s tragic.” (Gingrich calls Palestinians an 'invented' people, Washington Post)
I suppose I (and everyone else here) am then still British? Regardless, I wish the United States would sustain a war on me—I could use a billion or so a year in extra spending money. And I love jet planes!

The point remains regardless of your attempt to sidestep it and the fact remains that Israel has been under attack since 1948. It is also a fact that the hamas charter calls for the destruction of Israel.
