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.

Before that, of course, they were Jewish lands, conquered by murdering Romans, who morphed into the Christians.
I hope everybody is aware that this whole, "You have no right to the land because your ancestors acquired it by murdering the previous inhabitants" is one that the USA doesn't come out of well, on the whole.
Very few nations do. Go back far enough, and that's the history of almost all nations. Including the Israelites/Jews, of course.
Nearly 100% of ‘Palestinians’ choose to believe a manufactured and false history. They are a dead society with no redeeming qualities.. and it’s their fellow muslims that did this to them. Until they wake up to the truth, they are lost.
How can there be a Palestinian state and a Palestinian Authority if there is no such thing as a Palestinian?
Yup.
Palestine was invented to give anti-Semites an excuse to hate Israel.
Most of them are Jordanians and a sprinkling of others that JORDAN threw out.
My late Lebanese brother-in-law said that other Arabs over there referred to them as the “N word of the Middle East.”

That could be a problem. hehe
These misguided people would have had their state long ago if not for the militancy that has been inbreed into them.
This just speaks volumes about the state of our nation. The truth just has to take a back seat sometimes so we won't hurt anyone's feeling. These days this applies to friends and enemies alike making it more and more difficult to distinguish between them.
I'll take the blunt, put the truth out their approach of Newt Gingrich and pass on the Romney "You Can't Handle the Truth" supposed thoughtfulness.
Fox News has been bashing Newt all day today. It has been absolutely a day of ignorance on “America’s News” on Fox this afternoon. Greg “Whathisname” even had the gall to offer that Atty. Gen. Holder has not lied about “Fast and Furious” while speaking to Judge Jennine. The Judge says “Greg, you have got to be kidding”!
And if the huge amounts of US and international aid stopped flowing, they would self destruct and go home before you could think twice about it. So who’s really messing up the ‘peace’ process..
Newt was absolutely speaking the truth, and the whole world is reeling. The truth is better than a thousand lies.
The Palestinians are an oil well that sucks money from western politicians and bogus charities and then makes returns through corruption.
The Saudis make money pumping oil. The corrupt politicians make money pumping the Palestinians.
The more the west can establish Palestinians, the more they can pump.
Fox News have gone apoplectic at the thought of Romney not being the GOP nominee.
wisdom is appreciated... here...
[ Get back to me when they dont elect an America hating lying terrorist bastard as their leader. ]
OK.. Which lying bastard do YOU prefer this cycle?..
What creates “a people” is a shared experience.
There wasn’t a “Palestinian people” in 1949. Their shared experience has clearly created one.
“Fox News have gone apoplectic at the thought of Romney not being the GOP nominee.”
This surprises me because the guy never polls well and I’m not sure he would do as well as McLaim, even as bad as things are.
