Gingrich Condemned for Calling Palestinians Terrorists
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/dec/11/newt-gingrich-palestinian-comments-criticisedSpeaking from Ramallah on Sunday, Ghassan Khatib, a senior Palestinian Authority official, said Gingrich's position indicated an alarming swing towards extremism among Republicans and revealed a trend within American politics towards partisan posturing on the Middle East that could only damage the peace process.
"America is already suffering from criticism of not being impartial. Such an extreme position from a presidential candidate only adds to this perception," Khatib said. "This incident has seriously damaged the credibility of the United States."
While the US Congress has raised alarm among Palestinians by threatening to cut aid to the Palestinian Authority if it pursues a reconciliation with Hamas, Gingrich is swimming against the tide of official US policy, which advocates a two-state solution. He is also at odds with the opinion of all but the most extreme elements of Israeli society.

Why is the Hamas designation relevant to this question? Because under the current power structure, Hamas is part of the governing power structure for Gaza.
So bad, bad Newt - how dare you support President Obama's official position - what a dirty trick, not.
