You won't find George Bush or Rick Santorum meeting with Arafat. I'm told (and hope it's true) that you won't find pictures of Mitt Romney with him either. (Hat Tip: Jack W via Astute Bloggers).Labels: Campaign 2012, Newt Gingrich

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

Gingrich Looking Churchillian In Political Comeback
http://news.investors.com/Article/598519/201201201917/newt-gingrich-resembles-churchill.htm
Churchill's River War about Sudan describes what he saw at the beginning of his adulthood, which may be why he refused to succumb. Newt, on the other hand, may never have seen what awaits those who succumb. Hmmm..
How did Gingrich change?
Have you look at some of the news stories from the 1998 visit when this photo was taken?

Romney wasn't part of any congressional delegations so such pictures would not be likely
Sultan Knish points out that this picture needs to be understood in context and that the intention is a smear against Gingrich. At the time he was touring Israel and had gotten flak abroad for his support of Israel and his endorsement of Jerusalem as a unified and eternal capital of Israel.
