Arab League Condemns Newt

On Sunday, a spokesman for the Arab League condemned Newt Gingrich's remarks about the Palestinians being "an invented people" calling them "irresponsible and dangerous."

Newt should wear their condemnation as a badge of honor.

It was yet another stupid comment by Newt. You don't have to condemn Palestinians in order to support Israel. His "genius" has obviously been disconnected from his mouth, as usual. Will you people please wake up!! Romney strongly supports Israel without his mouth backfiring and causing trouble.

To the contrary, Israel is in the process of being squeezed, isolated, not just across the world, but INCREASINGLY in Washington. Those unfamiliar with America's foreign policy establishment are unaware of how increasingly the Arab narrative has been accepted as the prism through which to view ALL the problems that beset the Near and Mideast.

In the midst of a PROPAGANDA war, TRUTH is the equivalent of going nuclear.

It is about time that an American leader is as candid as Gingrich is.

We have too long been expected to accept the notion of a "Palestinian People", from which we then are inexorably led to arguments about the "right of return", or the right to a Palestinian Nation. Both of these concepts are false flags intended to conceal the underlying agenda, which is the destruction of Israel.

Last time I looked, if you engage in a series of terror attacks against a nation, or go to war against a nation and get your hind end kicked every time, especially if you keep saying you intend to keep it up, you lose territory to the victor, and the victor isn't too friendly about giving it all back and saying "never mind".

As the old saying goes, WITH FRIENDS LIKE THAT, Newt and the rest of us certainly DON'T NEED ANY ENEMIES!!!!!!

I say good for Newt. Hey, truth is hate only to those who hate the truth.

The Truth is always your friend.
Thanks, Newt, keep 'em coming!

Let me get this straight, a Jew who got off a plane from Russia yesterday, is a full blooded Israeli instantly, but people who lived in this area for generations are not 'Real'? Besides the point but EVERYONE is invented, Jews, Americans, etc so what?
