Gingrich: Palestinians An ‘invented’ People

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich is telling a Jewish cable channel that Palestinians are an “invented” people and that they are really Arabs who chose not to live elsewhere.

The Jewish Channel on Friday released excerpts of an interview in which the former House speaker says there was no Palestine as a state and that the residents there were part of the Ottoman Empire before the creation of the state of Israel.

Gingrich says Palestinians were historically part of the Arab community and that they had a chance to go many places.

Gingrich says the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians has been, quote, “delusional.” He says President Barack Obama’s effort to treat the Palestinians the same as the Israelis is actually, as he puts it, “favoring the terrorists.”

Oh Erica why there gots to be more than one damn village idiot?

This fool done cheated on two wives and he is the front runner now.

That other fool had to chase white women now did he.

And then lie about it too.

And it came back to bite his ass like I knew it would.

Never did like Godfather's pizza anyway.

Newt is an immoral and dirty idiot.

What kind of mind supports this fool?
