Palestinians are Palestinians. You can have discussion if Newt Ging is correct to say they're invented people, but no one say they are not real Palestinians, its not that they call themselves, they ARE Palestinian. Now u can ask weather they have any ownership history in Israel.

They are Palestinians? And what were they 100 years ago?  The term Palestinian was an invention of the 20th century, thus they are rightfully "so-called Palestinians" IMHO.

Wait who are Palestinians the Jews who were called Palestinians since the British occupation of "Palestine" or the Arabs/Muslims that reside in Israel now and have recently been dubbed as Palestinians?
