JERUSALEM — Sheldon G. Adelson is perhaps best known as a conservative casino mogul who spent tens of millions of dollars last year trying to defeat President Obama. But he is a larger-than-life lightning rod in Israel, too.

He owns the largest-circulation newspaper here, a right-leaning tabloid which he calls “fair and balanced” but which some competitors denounce as speeding the decline of good journalism. He has sprinkled $200 million across the state’s hospitals, museums and universities. He is married to an Israeli, and close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The leftist freaks are worried, and spamming posts to “Stop the Koch Brothers’ STATE BY STATE takeover of America”.

Stupid leftist freaks (in my best Homer voice).

He’s accomplished more with Birthright than any other person or group. Kudos.

And that only cost him $180 million.

Kerry wants to give $4 billion to Palestine—and all
that money (plus all the billions dumped there before)
won’t (and haven’t) accomplished a thing.

“Have you ever heard any Palestinian say, ‘We have to give up our hope of destroying Israel in favor of living in peace.’ ?”

That’s ALL of it in a nutshell.
