So the Muslims actually invented something.

That’s right, they already got one.

They’re actually Philistines,

No, they are not. Palestine is a corruption of the word Philistine, but the "Palestinians" are Arabs who came to the region long after the Philistines were gone. They are not decendants of the ancient Philistines.

He is correct, but he’ll still get raked over the coals by MSNBC and their friends in the GOP establishment.

Note the reporter dances around the core question of whether Newt is correct. Instead the reporter searches for those who may have made the statement before Newt.

Newt’s comment provides a great contrast with O-zero lighting the Hanakkuh candles all at once ... real vs. phoney.

I may not agree with Newt on everything, but he’s right about this, and I applaud him for saying so.

I’ve gotta give him props for saying it like it is. I’m frickin’ sick of these turds having the pity and welfare support of the world.

I totally agree, but why has Noot never said anything like this before?

I smell faux populism.

Around 100 A.D. the Roman Emperor Hadrian renamed Israel to Palestine, based on the Philistines, the old adversaries of the Jews to further infuriate them. The other people in Israel were various Gentiles. The Arab invasion did not come for centuries so there were no Muslims there.

Newt is the only one that understands EVERY aspect of these troubling times in the world. I don’t know if he was hit on the head, new-found en-lightening with his religion or what, but he is spot on with all major issues on a global scale.

If Newt is talking about Bolton for SOS what would the rest of his Admin. look like? Pretty damn good in my eyes.

I’m just praying that Newt understands that he is in the last quarter of his life and that he wants to “do right” for our republic. I believe he is at the point in his life that he (through his ego) wants to be mentioned with the likes of: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Reagan. He very may with what I am hearing.

Not all Palestinians are Muslims. I find it abominable that Evangelicals throw the Palestinian Christians under the bus because they belong to the wrong sect.

There has been a deafening silence about the forced exodus of Palestinian Christians from the Holy Land.
