Toward the beginning of the Bush Administration, but after 9/11, President George W. Bush rewarded the 19 Muslim hijackers and their cheering fellow co-religionists around the world by being the very first American President to call for a Palestinian State. Yes, Bush, NOT Clinton. And Bush appointed Elliot Abrams to be the point man to support it and secure a ton of funding for the Palestinians and the Abbas government, including a $500 million mortgage bailout fund just for Palestinians, while Americans were hurting on their mortgages. It’s a fund they set up in 2008, just before they were on their way out of the White House and could get away with it. Abrams could have turned Bush down. But he took the job and pursued it with zeal. He had the gall and indecency to call for a Palestinian State in a speech to a major pro-Israel rally on the Capitol Mall just after many of the homicide bombing attacks on Israel. Abrams was roundly and deservedly booed. In fact, his speech sounded more appropriate for the Muslim rally that had just taken place and which was organized by Grover Norquist.
Moreover, Abrams attended dinners for the American Task Force on Palestine, an openly pro-HAMAS/Hezbollah organization (see the photo above). Not exactly the kinda guy I’d trust on anything, let alone Newt Gingrich expertise.
As long as the GOP has grover norquist and his ilk, they are just as problematic as the democrats when it comes to the issue of islam.
@ James B – Montreal:
I do not disagree with your criticisms of our government. It did seem to me that in some of your posts you were also attacking the American people as antisemitic. Maybe I misunderstood.
I trust the Americans more than the Europeans but not by much.
Sorry Laura, if you read this, but I am not anti American, I am anti liar and hypocrisy which are both the way Americans run things.
America and Islam and the Europeans have poisoned the well on the truth.
TRAITOROUS SCUM!!!
