Gingrich Says ‘Enough Lying about the Middle East’
Arutz Sheva ^ | 11/12/11 | Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

Posted on 12/11/2011 4:02:11 AM PST by Eleutheria5

Newt Gingrich broke though taboos against challenging Palestinian Authority double talk and re-writing history, forcing Mitt Romney to admit he is right – but adding that saying so is incendiary.”

Gingrich, who is leading the polls for the Republican presidential nomination, angered the Palestinian Authority with his remarks in a televised interview in which he stated that "an invented Palestinian people…are in fact Arabs."

PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad told reporters in response, “These are extremely trivial, demeaning and ridiculous remarks. Even the most extremist settlers of Israel wouldn’t talk in such a ridiculous way. Our people have been here from the beginning, and they are determined to remain on their land until the end,” Fayyad continued, without defining what he meant by the “beginning.”

In a Saturday night debate in Iowa, Gingrich continued to show his oratory skills and thorough knowledge about Israel. He not only did not budge an inch from his position but also went further than other significant presidential candidates, virtually all of whom adopt the “two-state” solution, calling for the Palestinian Authority to return to the “negotiating table” and declaring their "solid" support for Israel.

In the debate in Iowa, Gingrich said, "Is what I said factually true? Yes. Somebody ought to have the courage to tell the truth. These people are terrorists. It's fundamentally time for somebody to have the guts to stand up and say, 'Enough lying about the Middle East.'

"When the president keeps talking about a peace process while Hamas keeps firing missiles into Israel, if we had a country next to us firing missiles, how eager would we be to sit down and negotiate?"

I'm tired of politicians from PC Mamby Pamby Land.

I loved when McAin't brought Sarah into his "campaign". Finally somebody with some balls. Unfortunately, she was the only one who had them.

Newt might have warts, but I can deal with warts.

I'd rather have a fighter with warts, instead of a picture perfect panzy.

Last night Newt took his warts and dove into it. Said what needed to be said and was unapoligetic about it.

For anyone who appreciates hard hitting, unPC, straight forwardness, Newt hit homeruns and Mittens shot himself in the foot.

I haven't been much of a Mitt fan, but also haven't been very interested in learning about him. Last night showed me all I needed to know about him. Mitt is a coward, a populist. Mamby Pamby.

I'm really hoping what Newts been projecting is real, and not just some persona to get elected. Last night I saw somebody with testicular fortitude. The type of person WHO WOULD have John Bolton as Secretary Of State. Maybe he'll tap Sarah for VP. Yeah, that'll drive the left nuts. At least have her as Secratary Of Energy.

Of course they've been there from the beginning. The beginning of...the time they've been there.

Really!

Did you see how that guy slid right past the fact that there was NO SYRIA for a thousand years (more or less) because those people in that part of the world were actually TURKISH TAX SLAVES.

The Ottoman Empire was "their country" ~ kinda.

It was their very own precious "Islamic Caliphate" that had crushed their higher cultural values into the dirt and turned them into a primitive people who lived in the dust. This business with Osama Bin Ladin was all about bringing back the "Islamic Caliphate".

They'd all prefer to sink back into the ignorance and brutality they'd known for so long than stand up and be men.

Go back to 1994 and look at Gingrich. He spearheaded the "Contract with America" and he fulfilled that promise even though he burned many bridges within his own party.

Gingrich is the only one who has led his party to cut an entitlement: welfare.

Gingrich is the only one to have led his party to a balanced budget.

What happened to the GOP after Gingrich left as Speaker? They started spending like crazy and supported socialism.

I will vote based on Gingrich's RECORD....which is solid.

Don't know if Newt will get the nomination, but I would luv to see him debate the FASCIST, Islamic-Jihadist, "Appeaser-in-Chief" on the subject of Israel and the Middle East "Peace process," especially if there were the 3 "Lincoln-style" debates Newt wants.

For that clarity of thought alone and the courage to speak it unequivocally, Newt should be the nominee.

Enough “pussy-footing around”. I have watched the “peace talks” for almost 45 years—what a joke.

It does not matter how much land the Israelis give up, or concessions they make, or settlements they give away, it does not stop the long march of the Islamists—whose ONLY goal is never peace, but the eradication of the entire State of Israel, the killing of its populace, and the plunder of its wealth.

You betcha.

How would you like to see John Bolton walking into foggy bottom with a broom and a list of thousands of names, and orders to clean it up.

God, it sends a chrissy girl type of tingle up and down my legs and spine.

I'm getting warm and wet... oh hell, I spilled my coffee.

Too true. My thoughts exactly.

Now that Newt has addressed the idiocy and fallacy of the “Palestinian Myth”, let's hope he has the brass cajones to speak truthfully about the inherent evil of multiculturalism and illegal immigration.

What about all the Jewish refugees?
800,000 Jews were driven from Arab nations after the 1948 war and founding of Israel. Same number of Palestinians fled from Israel (yes some were forced out) during that 1948 war. What I see is balance

Islam is an insane cult of inbred clans of hypocrites believing that only they can do things to others because the Koran sanctions this. That non-Muslim reciprocation and retaliation is impermissible. That all unMuslims must submit to those stupid enough to submit to fake allah and false prophet muhammad

Why expect them to become a “state.”

This is one of many reasons I want Newt as president. He will approach the middle east no different than Ronald Reagan.

What Newt should have gone on to say is that the Fakestinians don’t grow anything, don’t produce anything, don’t contribute anything to the world except terror and in general are a nest of cockroaches. They don’t need to be given statehood.

Ron Paul, who is in hot water with Republican conservatives for wanting to cut foreign aid, including that to Israel, also admitted that Gingrich knows what he is talking about, but – like Romney – added reservations.

“Technically and historically, yes, you know, under the Ottoman Empire, the Palestinians didn’t have a state, but neither did Israel have a state then, too,” Paul said.

And the Empire State Building didn't exist either. What a schmuck Ron Paul is!

Before the foundation of Israel, “Palestinian” refered to the Jews.
