Lift is the result of induced rotation of the fluid. Both the higher speed of airflow over one side of a cambered airfoil (bernoulli) and the redirection of the airflow (newton) are results of this, not causes. This is also why you get wingtip vortices, why flettner rotors work, why curveballs curve, and many other such readily observable phenomena. This has been well understood for over a century.
