Because there was never any talk of Paleos until after the IDF kicked the crap out of the invading armies of 5 Moslem Arab nations in the 1967 War.
The area was divided, by the Brits, between the Moslem Arabs (90%) and the Jews (10%)
in 1948.
What gave the Brits the right to do this? They took it from the Turks in 1917 and they did not want that land permanently, so they divided it as mentioned above. In WWI the exit strategy was Victory and they conquered the that area.
The Moslems are lucky they receieved anything because they and sided with Hitler and the Nazis during WWII. The Grand Mufti Hussien of Jerusalem was Hitler's 'special' guest in Berlin during the war. Grand Mufti Hussein raised 3 divisions of Moslems for the SS.
The West Bank was given to Jordan to adminster and Gaza was given to Egypt to adminster. There was never any intent for the Paleos to have a nation. All they were given was a homeland.
After the IDF took those two pieces of real estate in the 1967 War, the Moslem Arabs knew that they could never take it back from the Israelis, so they begin agitating for a Paleo state.
Here is were the term Paleo begins enters the history books.
Their Moslem Arab brothers will fight to the death of the last Paleo.
Their Moslem Arab brothers give the Paleos enough to fight and die, but never enough to win.
Gingerich says the Palestinians were an invented people- do you agree?.

No matter how the term comes out in the wash, the whole Palestine separate state thing is a political ploy (which is what Newt is getting at) to hamstring Israel. Blah, blah, blah.
The Israelis have another problem bigger than that though, and it is that the population within Israel. The Muslim population inside of Israel (much like the "Palestinian" population right up against Israel) has a high birth rate. Jews within Israel have a low birth rate. Furthermore, most Jews hold dual citizenship, whereas most Muslims (even if they do hold dual citizenship) are very much tied to where they live (the Jews not so much). The Muslims are perfectly willing to fight and die, whereas the Jews are not interested in dying, and not all that interested in fighting. The real threat to Israel is from within first, up against its border second, and then a very ...

So Newt Gingrich's point about Palestinians is more about the population chess game that has been going on, and whether or not Palestinians should be deemed legitimate, and therefore a two state solution pursued. Like I said, Newt Gingrich is a professor, so he could change his mind on what a good idea is in this matter, but as long as he is saying "the Palestinians were an invented people", he is saying you can forget a two state solution as being a solution.

Israelis are invented- they did not exist before 1947
For the Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were numerous than the other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples,But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath he swore to your forefathers that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery.........Dueteronomy 7;6,7
