Reader comment on item: Why Newt Gingrich Was Right about Palestinian History
in response to reader comment: Rights of Arab's over various lands
Submitted by Amin Riaz (United Kingdom), Dec 18, 2011 at 09:19
Try to at least get some historical perspective - The Jews were ousted from that land by the Romans. Muslims became default rulers because the Roman ruler vacated the place.
At least get basic history right.
