Israel/Palestine

(3,385 posts)His response was in keeping with his publicly stated position of absolute uncritical support for our ally Israel. The thing is, what he's saying is either a lie (he knows that the US can't be so much in support of any of our allies), or he's an unthinking ignoramus (and he really isn't that). So he's hiding his real position in favor of playing to the Conservative Christian and Jewish Vote. Can you imagine if he were to say some of these things as President? Or if Gingrich were to repeat the "Palestinians are an invented people" line? They are really irresponsible things for a President, or a prospective President, to say. So how could America vote for someone who's hiding from them? And he's probably the best the Republicans have to offer. Not good.
