1. Georgraphy in which Israel does not exist
LION OF JUDAH   (12.18.11)
then also their own quran does not exist, because the land of Israel is written in the Quran. Muslims are twisters, but they cannot fool the JEWS.
2. Both Israel and the Jews appear in the Quran.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (12.18.11)
Palestinians and Jerusalem not.
3. glorify martyrdom
Shaul R   (12.18.11)
and do not encourage violence? Is it some kind of non-violent martyrdom they glorify? (LOL)
4. to 1
sulfa ,   jerusalem   (12.18.11)
i can rewrite evrything even the history but i can not rewrite the quran as iam a moslem i can not rewrite my emotions as iam a human
5. At least One Candidate Publically States ME Truth
emanon ,   USA   (12.18.11)
7. #4 Sulfa, you're statement my be true with
Allan ,   Delray Beach   (12.18.11)
respect to your Koran and your emotions. You don't have a choice. But you can certainly turn it around and practice love rather than hate.
8. Newt nailed it
Ghilmeini ,   Khandahar baamerika   (12.18.11)
They picked the right guy to run their text books for religious schools, Mohammed jihad, really? Even if gingrich's quote is not 100%, the militancy of PA society is unquestionable. Even more vile is the fact the books were procured with us assistance and with state department turning a blind eye to hatred of the Jews, they have special training sessions for that in the state department. The idea that newt will appoint John Bolton head of state is a thought that makes me happy.
9. Humpty Dumpty is one of my favorites
Rami ,   Brooklyn   (12.18.11)
Ah Newt's just crazy,,, you know so crazy,,, he just wants to president like Obama
10. Sulfa jerusalem
LION OF JUDAH   (12.18.11)
The Jews got their ten commandments from MOUNT SINAI, how did you get your quran?
11. No. 8
NYC Girl   (12.18.11)
I couldn't agree more...and choosing John Bolton as Secretary of State would be absolutely brilliant.
12. Textbooks
NYC Girl   (12.18.11)
I remember reading how during the Six Day War, Israeli soldiers were finding mathematics textbooks in Jordanian schools that did exactly what's being denied here. But let's just say, for the sake of argument, that it was more than 50 years ago. We do know that Hamas has been running "suicide kindergartens" and indoctrinating young children with TV characters like Farfur the Mouse, who encourages violence among Palestinian children, even now.
13. Palestinian Media Watch & MEMRI reveal all.
Doug ,   Wales   (12.18.11)
Do an internet search for Palestinian Media Watch and then MEMRI. Both sources seem to have more direct and accurate information on these issues than commentators here are aware of, or that the US themselves are prepared to come to terms with. The merits of martyrdom are a daily part of the PA diet when it comes to teaching their youth, as is the delgitimization of Israel and the Jewish people. It is so clear even a blind man can see it.... unless you are willingly blind and complicit that is.
14. Damn this is taking to long
Damion ,   U.K.   (12.18.11)
@13 Doug You know really Israel delegitimizes itself with this constant trying to prove who it is, what it is and what belongs to it. It does not take this long for a people if the ink is dry on it's reality,,, it has just been proven to most Israelis that the Pals don't exist, they are "invented people" Newt Gingrich had to tall them this, and G-d has said that unequivocally this land, all of it belongs to the Jews, so whats the holdup, there are a people that don't exist that are in your way as to your reality, damn, this gets sicker by the day. Whats it gonna Israel it has always been your move.
15. Do we need people to lie for us?
Avramele   (12.18.11)
Israel needs friends and defenders. It does not need witnesses like Gingrich who make stuff up from whole cloth. Those not in the know will now question every statement made on Israel's behalf. If nothing else his financial shenanigans discount him our witness. The Talmud teaches that If one lies on financial matters will lie also in his testimonies. Edach dchasid al mamonah chashid nami al shvuatah.
16. The fact that this debate is on the table in itself..
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (12.18.11)
..is enough to warrant a thorough investigation. No need to look far.. we have loads PA/Hamas hate-mongering on MemriTV, Liveleak and Youtube
