I hadn't seen that video...that's quite a difference from what we're putting out now. I have a few questions:
1. I heard that Jonathan Pollard was not only giving information to Israel, but was also paid to give information to other countries, such as Pakistan. Is there more to this story?
2. If Newt Gingrich betrays people politically to the extent that he betrays his wives, as Chaim said, can we really trust his position on Israel?
3. If Newt Gingrich has a bunch of corruption in his past, is he really in the best position to go up against Obama?

Shalom Dan:
1. That's a complete lie. Pollard has not only been imprisoned for 26 years for doing something good for both America and Israel, he has also been the victim of a vicious smear campaign.
2. We have to be wise enough to realize that we can't trust politicians. I don't trust Gingrich or any of the other politicians. I don't expect him to keep his word on all of what he says to us during the campaign. He tells us that if Hamas and the PLO were willing to make "peace" with Israel, that he would favor an independent state. So he has plenty of wiggle room to betray us. I want to do videos explaining to him why that position is wrong. But he is the lesser of the evils right now and has the best chance of beating Obama, who is a mortal threat to the survival of both America and Israel.
3. Gingrich is vulnerable and has many skeletons in his closet. So does Romney. One of these two will be the Republican nominee, in my opinion. When Obama and the media start tearing into the Republican candidate mercilessly on a daily basis, who would fight off and counter the attacks more effectively? In my view, Gingrich is simply better at responding. He's certainly a better debater, a better speaker and does better interviews. Gingrich can also excite the Republican and conservative base far more than Romney.
In conclusion, we have to make tough choices. Thank you for raising these important concerns, Dan.
