Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich jabbed Russia for its vote Friday in the United Nations Security Council — a move that could reflect badly on President-elect Trump.
"So Russia having illegally occupied Crimea and eastern Ukraine votes to condemn Israel for 'occupied lands.' We are supposed to be impressed," the Trump adviser tweeted Saturday morning.
In a 14-0 vote on Friday, the U.N. Security Council condemned Israel for settlements in areas of the West Bank and East Jerusalem that Israel occupied during the Six-Day War of 1967. The Security Council is often critiqued for being anti-Israel.

Russia could have stopped the Obama Nazi resolution
So could UK or other NATO member countries. Why is Gingrich singling out Russia?
Newt is correct on the issue.
Why isn’t Newt calling out the NATO countries that voted for this resolution? Why single out Russia?
LOL! Gingrich is right on this one.
I do not know why Gingrich chose to mention Russia when our own IslamoNazi regime ruling USA did the dirty work in the UN to begin with!
Gingrich can say some very astute and accurate things, helpful at times too. But he can say some odd things sometimes too. I neither love nor hate him, I take him each day as he comes is all. He is a world better than McCain and Linsday who only say intelligent or positive things once or twice a year. Gingrich is maybe 50.50 or so?
LOL! Gingrich is right on this one.
Uh, no. It’s called selective outrage. When a large number of countries vote for a bad resolution, and Gingrich criticizes only one of them, that says he’s got an ulterior motive that isn’t related to this particular resolution. He’s just using it to grind an axe against Russia. Selective outrage is phony outrage. I had hopes for Newt, but he’s dashing them. It’s clearer and clearer why he’s not in Trump’s cabinet.
Apparently, you missed this...
“Why isn’t Newt calling out the NATO countries that voted for this resolution? Why single out Russia?”
I know this is a tough concept for you but are the NATO countries occupying Crimea and eastern Ukraine while voting to condemn Israel for “occupied lands”?
The answer is no. Newt was only pointing out the hypocritical vote of the Russians. The other countries have their own issues and Trump will deal with them.
Gingrich is right to call out Russia. Russia’s earned no title as an ally.
Newt trashed Obama first. So your statement isn't accurate.
First Obama, and then Putin, perhaps Newt will work his way down the list...
I suspect there is a bit more co-ordination between Gingich and Trump than it might seem.

He’s right, though. Russia could have vetoed this, and begun a very positive trend. I suppose they think it’s not their fight, but... until someone stands up to the Arab world, we will have to deal with their arrogance and violence. The US, Britain, Israel, and Russia together could be a powerful force.
Newt was only pointing out the hypocritical vote of the Russians.
Newt chose to only criticize Russia for voting against Israel, even though many other countries voted the same way. By his silence he gave them a pass. And you do too.
That’s called a double standard, or hypocrisy, whatever.
I did expect better from Britain, too, in light of Brexit. But France.... I expect this from France. They are practically a Muslim country nowadays.
Before Newt pointed correctly out the hypocritical vote of the Russians, he correctly trashed Obama.
Gingrich is correct about Obama trying to war against Israel...O has been doing a whole range of vicious and harmful things for the last 8 years...including leaking some immportant defense info to Israel’s enemies and of course arming and supporting and funding Iran’s nuclear bomb project and some of the worst Moslem terrorist gangs
and when Obama overthrows the govts of Egypt and Syria in order to try to install his Moslem Brotherhoood terrorist gangster comrades in charge there, that hurts Israel too
What is it about Russia being in the Crimea for instance and then voting against Israel that you do not understand? How does that compare to the NATO countries? That was the point he was trying to make. The other countries will be dealt with down the road.
I would have to guess that you have an anti-Newt agenda.
HAHA, it is Ukrainian soveriegn territory.
Once Russia comes in, kills everyone there, forges the election, miraculously votes for Russia.
Do you know how Russia got it originally? they came in, killed everyone there. That is Russia’s story. It never ends.
They are the original terrorist state.
Hey McGruff, it sucks when people don’t believe your Russian lies doesn’t it?
Just out of curiosity, do you still get paid if you lose the argument?
>>Gingrich is right to call out Russia. Russia’s earned no title as an ally.
Exactly!
