Did Christie screw the pooch while giving GOP donors a bj?
All the current Republican/Teabagger presidential hopefuls are down in Las Vegas shaking their booties at Republican money men including the Big Slug, Sheldon Adelson. As part of the talent contest, they all gave a speech proclaiming their undying love of Israel and pledged to do whatever the Israelis want. In doing so, New Jersey Governor Christie committed a dreadful error.
Speaking at the Republican Jewish Coalition event at Adelson's Venetian resort in Las Vegas, Christie used the controversial term to describe the West Bank and other areas where Israel has a military presence.It's a sin to call the lands stolen from others as anything but Israel's god given right. The Big Slug may have said he is satified with Team Fatso's apology for the mistake, but he will be keeping a sharp eye on the Fat Man for any other signs of apostasy.
"I took a helicopter ride from the occupied territories across, and just felt personally how extraordinary that was, to understand the military risk that Israel faces every day," Christie said.
However, the Israeli government and many of its supporters do not consider those regions to be occupied, believing the country has legitimate claim to them. Instead, the term is seen by some Zionists as validating Palestine's opposition to Israeli presence in the region.
