Adelson Confidant: Christie Has No Understanding of Israel
Wednesday, 09 Apr 2014 11:56 PM By Todd Beamon A confidant of casino magnate Sheldon Adelson has said that he cannot support New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in 2016 because he used the term "occupied territories" in discussing the West Bank in a speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition. "Gov. Christie either has no understanding of the truth of the issues effecting Israel, or he is hostile to Israel," Morton Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America, told The Algemeiner an interview. "Either way, I am very uncomfortable." Based in New York, The Algemeiner is a leading Jewish newspaper in the United States.
