One of the real reasons I consider the Palestinians to be something other than a historical group of people is pointed out by Gingrich according to this link.

Please remember that there was a palistine before a lot of the current countries in the middle east. The British carved Israel out Of Palistine to give the surviving Jews from Europe a homeland. Newt is...... I cant come up with anything to describe him, thats how low he brings himself

Keep it classy Roy. It is funny that every other country that was part of the Ottoman empire has a legitimate claim to their own country, but a region that was defined since 132 CE and was recognized as an independent country after the breakup in 1919...NAH, F 'em.

Nice to see Gingrich respects Arabs so much he doesn't care about the difference between people of different countries. To him people from Saudi Arabia are the same as the people from Iran, they are all Arabs. Might as well say all white people are the same. Russian, American, French, Italians...all the same people.

Whatever you have to tell yourself to justify the ongoing oppression of the "invented" Palestinian people.

Hey lady, I'm allowed to bulldoze your home. Newt Gingrich and internet poster "roysoldboy" say you're not real.

Someone paid Newt way way too much for his historical expertise. Statements like these are the reason we should not put a theoretical BS artist like Newt in charge.

Minutes ago, on Meet the Press, Ron Paul was quoting Regan and recalling why Regan thought it would have been better for US if we had a more neutral foreign policy - esp in the middle east where politics on both sides is "irrational". Newt just pissed off the other side just to kiss the evangelical / judeo vote. The later block is probably a lot smarter than Newt gives them credit for and can see through these panderers.

If you are saying Newt doesn't know Iranians are Persian, please provide the quote.

So what? Americans are "invented" people too. LOL...ever heard of an ethnic group called American?

Newt is being silly...i just don't understand what so many right wingers have against the Palestinian people. What did the Palestinians ever do to Newt and his acolytes to make them have so much contempt for them?

Newt isn't the first clown to advance this theory.

They're still people nonetheless. I swear, if you guys nominate Gingrich you will guarantee yourselves a second Obama term. Why are you doing this to yourselves?

Pffffft...most Americans don't know that Austrian isn't a language. Moreover, a hell of a lot of Americans think Iranians are Arabs. In fact, most do.
