Newt Gingrich is drawing fire for arguing that Palestinians are an "invented" people. In an interview with The Jewish Channel, Gingrich said, "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."
Palestinian Authority chief negotiator Saeb Erakat described Gingrich's comment as "the most racist statement I've ever seen." So not only do the Palestinians want a state but now they want to be a race unto themselves, too?
Two of Mitt Romney's surrogates also criticized Gingrich's comments although not for their accuracy. Mary Kramer, a former Iowa State Senator who later served as Ambassador to Barbados said, "I'm not sure that statement gets us any closer to accomplishing an agenda." Meanwhile, Iowa State Representative Renee Schulte, a co-chair of Romney's Iowa campagin, said, "Governor Romney is much more discplined in his approach and much more thoughtful about the things he says." Perhaps Schulte was referring to the time when Romney said the U.S. could learn about diplomacy from Hezbollah. But I digress.

You would think that in covering the story one might at least ask the question "Is this true?" Haven't seen that question asked today.
Yeah, but like certain other things he’s also wrong although it may not be as explicit: his campaign organization said also in favor of of some sort of Palestinian state which always spells, “Death to Israel.”
That seldom happens because truth means very little to liberals and their media.
Made up “people” for a made up “cause”.
The liberals and the media always look the other way when these animals celebate the murder of innocent Jewish children and their parents.
I have no problem with any group of people seeking recognition as a state ~ unless they propose carving off a chunk of my state then I think they should die.
Famous joke: an Israeli and a PLO negotiator were about to sit down to the negotiations. The Israeli begins with a joke for the room:
“one day after a hot dusty trip through the desert, Moses came upon an oasis with a lake and palm trees. He removed his robes and sandals and refreshed himself with a swim. When he came out of the water, his clothes were gone. he asked his peoplewhat happened to them.
” ‘the Palistinians took your clothes!’ cried the Israelites...”
At this point the Palistinian negotiator shouted, “but there were no Palistinians back then!”
The Israeli smiled and said, “Now that we’ve got that settled, let’s begin.”
The truth is a bitch isn’t it!
Heard on the radio break an interview with an “outraged” Palestinian upset over Gingrich’s comment.
I thought F him! Get back to me when they don’t elect an America hating lying terrorist bastard as their leader.
Until then I want my president speaking the truth to these haeful troublemakers. Had to hear Krauthammer last night say Gingrich is 100% accrate but it’s “too late”. Reminded me of when reagan got in and told Sec. of State Haig to veto te Law of the Sea treaty and other PC UN nonsense. It’s never too late.
The truth is a bitch isn’t it!
Palestine defined by Webster`s 1887 Dictionary:
``site of ancient kingdoms of Israel ad Judah``
Racist? Wow, that’s what the losing side always does when the truth is revealed. Couldn’t expect them to produce evidence.
What does the palestinian leadership say about us?? I’m sure they tell the story of America just as we would like. /s
Also, Newt is only going back o the Ottoman Empire. These were Christian lands, conquered by murdering muslims. That is historical reality.

Newt was absolutely speaking the truth, and the whole world is reeling. The truth is better than a thousand lies.
Newt is Right About The “Palestinians”, they are an invented people just for the purpose of destroying Israel.
