In an effort to court

the Jewish vote, and the huge money that comes with it, Newt is spouting the line that Christians and Repubs love to repeat. The Palestinians are just an 'invented' people who are on Jewish soil. WRONG. Israel is an 'invented' country, that used to belong to the 700,000 Palestinians who were displaced to give the Jews a homeland after WWII. The Palestinian people had been there for hundreds, no THOUSANDS of years, and had family histories and land ownership in one of the oldest areas of human settlement. To say that God gave the land to the Jews is like telling a bunch of Californians to leave their homes and property, because the governor of Utah declared it belongs to Mormons. Easy to say the Jews needed a homeland. Not so easy when the homeland given to them happens to be YOURS.
