Steven - Now on Israel, do you consider yourself a Zionist?
Newt - Well, I believe that the Jewish people have the right to have a state, and I believethat the commitments that were made at a time…remember there was no Palestine as a state. It was part of the Ottoman Empire. And I think that we’ve had an invented Palestinian people, who are in fact Arabs, and were historically part of the Arab community. And they had a chance to go many places. And for a variety of political reasons we have sustained this war against Israel now since the 1940’s, and I think it’s tragic.
À noter que cette explication vient en réponse à la question « au sujet d’Israël, vous considérez-vous comme sioniste ? ». Encore une fois : le sionisme n’est défendable qu’en se reposant sur le négationnisme historique.
