When current ‘I’m not Mitt Romney’ Republican Presidential frontrunner Newt Gingrich isn’t demanding we return to a Dickensian Child Work Model, he’s making some profoundly inaccurate and frighteningly daft comments on foreign policy.

The Israel-Palestine conflict is quite a complex one. There are two peoples who both lay claim to the same land. The backers of both sides often have a large amount of emotional and political investment in their cause. However, the pro-Palestinian cause is often labeled antisemitic.

Regardless of your politics, for those of us who support the existence of the Jewish State of Israel, watching events on the world stage in the past week has been tantamount to helplessly watching your own child get bullied on the school yard.
