I've never heard Newt's statement about the Palestinians being an invented people. I wonder how he means it. Is it because there is no country called Palestine so Palestinians is a misnomer? But that logic doesn't hold up because the region was called Palestine so it seems reasonable to call the people from there Palestinians.
I love how these politicians can get away with saying contradictory things but it's even more amusing when they do it in the same sentence. How can a society be secular atheistic and still be dominated by religious (in this case Islamic) radicals. lol
What that's basically what he means about the Palistinian thing. It's like saying the Cherokees are an invented people. As for the secular atheistic Islamic dominance, it's doesn't have to make sense, they're just words to appeal to the base.
During the debate, when Gingrich was defending his Palistinian remark and talking about his views on the Israeli/Palistinian conflict, he kept saying how it was the truth and he was the only one standing up for the truth. That was really obnoxious.
