13:17Now Playingdemocracynow.org - Many analysts say Newt Gingrich's recent rise in the Republican contest would have been impossible without the backing of one man -- multi-billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson.

We speak with Gal Beckerman of the Jewish Daily Forward and Linda Sarsour of the Arab American Association of New York.
