That's not quite what Newt said. He merely pointed out that the Palestinians were "invented". America and Americans were "invented" ~ actually several times, first, in the mind of King Philippe II/III of Spain as a sort of Protestant ghetto where he and his other Hapsburg relatives could send troublesome people from all over Europe.

Interesting concept. I'm still very much in awe of the King ~ this was divinely inspired.

Then, we were reinvented in about 1676, then again in 1775, then in 1861.

What I find interesting in this is the fact that the Palestinians can't bear the fact that their "nation hood" is a recent invention. They imagine it's an insult to live in an "invented" nation. We consider it a visible manifestation of God's Grace.

There's not going to be any communication with these people possible until they finally realize they owe it to the West for their liberation from the Ottoman Empire, and to America for their liberation from the British and French!

" We consider it a visible manifestation of God's Grace."

While they have zero comprehension of the concept of God's Grace. (See tagline...)
