Gingrich’s rhetoric stirs GOP’s Jewish activists

GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich ignited an audience of
Re­publican Jewish activists in Washington by promising to move the U.S.
embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. And he was just getting started.

Gingrich
also promised to use American dollars to fund "every dissident group"
in Iran, whose leader has threatened to destroy Israel. And he would
appoint John Bolton—former U.S. ambassador to the UN and a conservative
favorite—to head the State Department.

With his fiery pro-Israel
rhetoric,  Gingrich outdid Mitt Romney's speech to the same group
earlier in the December 7 meeting. All GOP presidential candidates
except Rep. Ron Paul (R., Tex.) spoke to the gathering of the Republican
Jewish Coalition, and all expressed strong support for the Jewish
state.
