Newt Gingrich's Culturist Error


In a recent debate Republican Presidential Candidate Newt Gingrich created a stir by calling the Palestinians “invented.”   In fact, no such type of Arab existed prior to the 1940s.  The term actually referred to Israeli Jews.  What Gingrich argued were undeniable facts. But his belief in the solidity of facts overlooks the culturist construction of reality.

After so many generations of people calling themselves Palestinians, the use of Palestinian flags, anthems, television, and politicians; the Palestinian people have been created. A nation is a shared set of ideas backed by emotion.  The reality of Palestinians has so much cache that people will die for it.  Nations and peoples are not eternally existing entities, they are creations.  But this does not make them any less real.
If fate threw all of the Palestinians into exile, say if all of them got sent to Saudi Arabia, would they persist as a people?  The Jews faced this very question in the 5th century B.C.  Deprived of land and scattered, the Jews in exile compiled the Bible to consolidate their identity.  This common text allowed them to have something in common even when far apart. I suspect the Palestinian identity would only exist in academic / radical pockets after a few generations in exile. 
My unproven contention about time eroding the Palestinian identity in exile points to the importance of long standing shared traditions to a national identity.  The Palestinians flag and national anthem are recent creations.  They have no ancient traditional art forms particular to them. But in “The Invention of the Jewish People” Schlomo Sand argued that even the idea of Jews has been created in time. While this is obviously true, the duration of the Jews makes their identity more solid.    
What culturist lessons lie in this reality parsing? Well our starkest comparison to the Israeli situation comes from the strong concentration of people with Mexican loyalties in our Southwest.  This situation resembles that of the Palestinians because many Mexicans believe that America exists land that was stolen from them.  Herein lays the importance of Texas’ new culturist curricular laws.  To avoid Middle East style conflict our schools must teach our side of the Mexican-American War and the glory of American identity to all residents in our borders.
But many other culturist lessons emerge from my refutation of Newt’s statement. The “national existence without land” standard reminds us of the importance of shared language, flags, history, heroes, geography, ideals, etc..  Multiculturalism’s anti-colonial ideology must be replaced by culturism. We must emphasize our unity, not our differences. Our government should return to its traditional stance of considering national cohesion legitimate considerations. Borders and Nativity Scenes impact survival. But the most important lesson is that all nationalisms are fictions that must be reinforced to survive.
