Avi ,   NYC, USA   (03.30.14)
Apologizing, groveling, brown-nosing! We, Jews, just love it! The powerrrr!
2. Bye-bye presidential aspirations ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.30.14)
... because the George Washington Bridge fiasco and cover-up only had him half on the ropes.
3. If West Bank is not occupied territory then what is it?
(03.30.14)
Part of an apartheid state of Israel?
4. Adelson And His Money Will Soon Be Parted
World Citizen ,   the world   (03.31.14)
Those RepubliCONS know how to smooze those Joos out of some money. Tell them anything they want to hear just get them to cough up some dough. Adelson backed Gingrich to the tune of 10 to 20 million and then backed the other looser Romney for about 50 million. The senile old fool is a bigtime freyer.
5. Only 'occupiers' are the terrorists pals

6. Judaea, Samaria, Christ
Aaron halevi ,   Silver Spring USA   (03.30.14)
It was occupied. Territory when Romans occupied Judaea, Hey it's CHRISTopher CHRISTie, The Gopher Christ Guy, Thinks he's messiah cause he bears the name anointed like Oblunder only in name.
7. It IS occupied...by Arabs
Lila ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.31.14)
Judea, Samaria, and Gaza are all part of the Land of Israel. They are currently unfortunately occupied by Arabs - we pray and work for the day that the illegal Arab occupiers will leave to join their fellow Arabs in their 22 countries. But not remain in OURS!

Robert S Levine ,   Las Terrenas,DR   (03.31.14)
You always have such obnoxious comments. Why don't you have the courage to sign your name and city??
9. #4, world idiot. Americans are fed up with Obama and he will
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.31.14)
be done with.
10. @5 only occupier is Prime Minister Netanyahu...
(03.31.14)
you know the Prime Minister who released Ahmad Yassin and then released three different groups of terrorist...and only when it came to releasing the 4th group did he suddenly find his cojones!
11. #3 You are correct
Ze'ev ,   USA   (03.31.14)
Judea and Samaria ARE occupied; occupied by Muslim Arabs, but that may yet change...
12. Glad to see Governor Scott Walker was there meeting with
Rivkah   (03.31.14)
Sheldon Adelson who is a wise soul. His choice of Newt Gingrich was excellent and if he had gotten the nomination, he would have won. But the attack by a former wife was less than helpful. I like seeing Newt Gingrich on CNN in the afternoon. Rand Paul, Ted Cruz (US Senators) are in the running, too, and I hope Mr. Adelson considers assisting them, too. The nation does not need another Bush or Clinton. Enough damage has been done by Bushes and Clintons. I hope Mr. Adelson leaves Las Vegas until next Fall since WWIII is very near and an attack on seven cities by Muslims have been declared from Wahabi Imans in Saudi Arabia and Las Vegas is one of them. The others are Chicago, NYC, Washington, D.C., Miami, Houston, and Los Angeles.
13. Occupied ? Like Americans occupy Indian land ?
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (03.31.14)
You've got to be kidding - right?
14. #3 no name
solomon ,   bklyn   (03.31.14)
Israeli arabs vote, are represented in the government, sit on the Supreme Court, and go to the same hospitals as Jews to be treated by the same Jewish and arab doctors and nurses. Abbas states that any country he gets will be judenrein and Hamas wants to kill all the Jews. Oh there is apartheid, but its not in Israel. The facts that you ignore win out every time.

Michael ,   Haifa   (03.31.14)
With a little bit of luck you may get a gratuity from Adelson for your talkback
16. Christie not ready for primetime!
Grant ,   Brookfield, WI   (03.31.14)
Anyone who wants to be POTUS and doesn't know the history of Israel since 1947 is not the man/woman for the office. The non-Jews in Israel are ARABS, and both could be referred to as Palestinians due to Rome calling the area Palestine to wipe out Jewish identity.
17. To: No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.31.14)
Really? News to me. Judea and Samaria are NONSOVEREIGN. Legally, only sovereign territory can be "occupied." I guess you didn't know that. I must admit I'm not in the least bit surprised. You are, after all, an ignoramus.
18. #3 WB CAN GO TO ITS ORIGINAL
Iranian Jew ,   LA USA   (03.31.14)
occupier, Jordan, as it wishes. It is the Jordanians that don't want WB and they are too chicken to openly admit that. It will be another failed state like Jordan or Egypt or any other Arab land. They are lucky that they have jobs provided by Israelis. Once they get their state than they really going to have to look for jobs. Maybe you should really think about what the term "occupied" means and then write posts here. WB is under Israeli control because it will start a war as soon Israel pulls out. The same happened in GAZA and still happening. GAZA also belongs to Egypt and not Palestine. Please read the real history and not the ones your mullahs preach at the mosques all the long.
19. You're no jew
Les ,   NYC   (03.31.14)
Because we don't like "our gentiles" groveling, we like them HONEST and AGAINST JIHAD, and Christie is neither. He (probably like you) LOVES the 9/11 Memorial Jihadi Mosque next to Ground Zero in NYC, and he characterized any opposition to it as "islamo-phobic:" Christie is a fake Conservative Republican, and he is no friend to America nor to Israel
20.  New Jersey gov. apologizes for 'occupied territories' r
Hershel ,   Eilat Israel   (03.31.14)
The facts are - In 1948, Egypt, a country in Africa, crossed into Asia and occupied the Gaza Strip. At the same time, Transjordan, a country totally east of the Jordan river, crossed it and occupied the West Bank and half of Jerusalem. These illegal occupations ended in June, 1967 when the territories were liberated by the Israeli Army. The territories should be referred to as "the liberated territories".
21. Christie is SO 10 minutes ago.
David ,   Hartford USA   (03.31.14)
He's made himself unelectable. Forget him and find some new faces not connected to scandal and power politics. America has no room for his kind in the White House. Adelson is becoming addle-brained. Time for him to get some new advisors. Sheldon, look for people who exhibit integrity, honesty, and who have major accomplishments to their credit. Obama had none. Let's try for better this time around. (And Christie is not the one.)
22. no. 3, no name, no country moron.Mecca/Israel belong to Jews
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.31.14)
23. My vile Antisemitic clone will quote from "Mein Kampf" again
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.31.14)
24. He should have said STOLEN not occupied
lydia ,   Brisbane   (03.31.14)
No such thing as a free lunch if he takes Adelson $$$ Christie must now dance at his tunes. Despite some 250UN res. against Israels illegal occupation and numerous squatter settlements
25. Occupied territories
David ,   Plainfield njst   (03.31.14)
Tibet, Crimea,Falklands,Chechnya,Cyprus, Northern Ireland, Georgia, most of the US and Canada
26. #3 Judea is the name of the Jewish homeland 3000 yrs
Jordan Is ,   Eastern Palestine   (03.31.14)
before you were born. Nothing occupied about living in your 3000 home. You must not be a native American otherwise you would know Jews are the aboriginals here. Even our namesake- Jew- comes from this precise stretch of land you call occupied west bank. How can we "occupy" our own home?
27. Christie remark to Jewish Republican meeting
M. Gerald Fried ,   Skokie IL USA   (03.31.14)
When are we going to hold politicians responsible for stupid remarks they utter? Christie response was a stupid remark and was lying .He knew what he said when he uttered occupied lands. He is idiot an should not be running for president. America doesn't need him an he is dangerous for Jews.
28. #4 Takes money to win election
Benji ,   US   (03.31.14)
Just ask Obama and Soros. But this time around the Republicans will win!
29. Chris Christie is a Liar, Fraud & Muslim Sympathiser
Netanya ,   Netanya   (03.31.14)
Chris Christie would be as big a mistake as Obama. Just like Obama, Christie has relationships with terrorists and such. It was not a mistake, he thinks that Israel is all occupied territory, just like the palestinians.
30. #3 Apartheid...get a damn education
Netanya ,   Netanya   (03.31.14)
Judea and Sumaria aka the west bank is disputed land, since it is only where the fighting stopped in1967. The was was due to Arab aggression and they tried again to rid the middle east of Jews and lost. But where we decided to stop fighting your stupid terror loving people, happened to be in that area which Jordan had illegally occupied and made Jew free. The Jew are only moving back onto land that the Arabs stole in 1948 (like the entire Middle East that is stolen by these same animals.) Apartheid is about the citizens of a country, why would Jordanian citizens be voting in Israel? The W Bank Arabs are Jordanians. They are still not living in an apartheid and every black person who lived through apartheid in S. Africa is offended by your stupidity.
