This happened at what was purported to be a Republican Jewish Coalition fundraiser but was basically a private court performance for Sheldon.

Everyone knows that if you use any term other than "Judaea and Samaria" you're a Jew-hating Neo-Nazi who wants every Israeli burned alive in giant Dachau-style ovens.

The sooner Adelson croaks, the better for America.

What is this?  Are they not occupied or are they not territories?
I thought maybe Christie had said something truly awful, like Palestinians are human beings.

Adelson is upset than Christie called West Bank "occupied territories". According to Israel, there territories are part of the State of Israel and must be called Judea and Samaria.

The GOP is literally in the pockets of Sheldon Adelson and the Kochs. To all registered Republicans: You Don't Matter.

Wait, are politicians not allowed to say "the West Bank"? Because I'm sure they do.

Adelson should have just hired an actor to run.  A good looking paid spokesman probably would have beaten Reid in 2010 and be primed to run as fake President in 2016.

And Christie is ruined with the pro-Israel crowd. One more reason he won't be president.

I'm surprised no one has thought of this. Yet again... what about Reagan? Tongue

As a Zionist, I really don't have a problem with the term "occupied territories".  Are people trying to imply that they're not occupied, or something?

What are they expecting him to do? Get down on his knees and beg forgiveness? It's worth noting that the Adelson aide said Adelson wasn't holding a grudge and that his relationship with Christie is not strained.

The blatant and utter dishonesty of the Israel lobby in American never ceases to amaze me.
