Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie visited Israel on Sunday, becoming the first Republican presidential hopeful to visit the country since the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks.
Christie started his trip with a tour of Kfar Azza, a kibbutz that was destroyed by Hamas militants. Speaking with reporters, he reiterated his support for Israel, saying, "I want the people of Israel to know that there are hundreds of millions of Americans who stand with them, who understand the atrocities that were committed, and why in the future we need to stand absolutely shoulder to shoulder with Israel."
He also delivered a message to Americans demonstrating in favor of a cease-fire: "Come to Israel and see it for yourself."
"We can't ask Israel to stand down if they believe there is still a legitimate violent threat against them and their people, and I think there's no question that there is," he later added.

Thought it was a humor story. But it happened. Spotlight hog.
The people in the region are starving according to the UN. War has disrupted all their food supply deliveries and refrigeration is gone.
How can he take a significant portion of their food to get through his 5 meals a day and snacks?🥞🍗🥩🥓🍔🍝🧈🍞🍻🍨🍩🍰🧁
Christie is doing this so he can come back and parade himself around as the final expert on all things Israel/Middle East.
Fatso, the pandering asshole!
Hamas is thinking what a great human shield he’d make
A PURE “D” WASTED EFFORT!
[[Chris Christie visits Israel]]
Hopefully they aren’t cannibals
Mmmmmm.....all those pols making the trek to war-torn Israel: DeSantis, Newsome, Christie, plus Sen Graham took 10 more. Also on the “me-too” list: NY Gov Hochul, NY Mayor Adams, Sen Cory Booker, Cong Dan Goldman, etc etc etc.
They’ve all been coached to say the exact same thing: “I’m going to Israel to ‘learn,’ to ask questions.”
Although, when he was NY governor, Andrew Cuomo went ....drum roll, please....to get “Israeli Know-How” on how to Fix Struggling New York Subways.” Lol. Yet, billions of NY tax dollars for transit upgrades were up for grabs. I wonder who got the contracts?
Israel has now existed for 75 years. And the parade of politicians going there is truly impressive.
Is it b/c opportunistic pols want to make sure Israel remains a welfare client of
the US, and stays subject to political pressure from its benefactor government?
It might be time to consider that possibility.
Israel shouldn’t have to constantly prove it’s a viable nation......not just a welfare case.
“If they put him in the Dead Sea, he won’t just float, he’ll fly.”
There will be no Dead Sea.
Sorry, all returning flights are sold out till next December.
WHY
What in God’s name does a fat, nasty Jersey lawyer think he’s going to do over there?
And why would the Israeli’s give him the time of day?
Make sure you have donuts on hand
He shouldn’t visit Gaza though... he’d be a huge human shield for Hamas.
Are Israelis voting in America now? They don’t need this fat slob over there right now and I am not impressed because while I sympathize, America comes first.
Maybe Chris could offer himself up in exchange for hostages.
Not impressed.
Another half witted hack doing a dog and pony show.
