The Republican candidate was prompted by a question posed by a Palestinian-American at a Florida debate; opponent Gingrich said in same debate he would move U.S. embassy to Jerusalem as president.
"Israelis would be happy to have a two-state solution. It's the Palestinians who don't want a two-state solution; they want to eliminate the State of Israel,” Romney said.
Romney attacked President Barack Obama's policy saying,"This president went before the United Nations and castigated Israel for building settlements. He said nothing about thousands of rockets being rained on Israel from the Gaza Strip.”
ReplyDelete"This president threw Israel under the bus with regards to defining the '67 borders as the starting point of negotiations. I think he disrespected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Bibi Netanyahu. I think he has time and time again shown distance from Israel, and that created, in my view, a greater sense of aggression on the part of the Palestinians," Romney added.
What stupid nonsense.
It is totally ridiculous. It seems like they are all trying to be more pro-Israel than Obama, but Obama is already pro-Israel -- to such an extent that these clowns have to go WAAAY out on that limb. On other issues they're doing the same (to paraphrase) "blow up the environment to get to every last drop of oil and natural gas!" "put poor black kids to work cleaning toilets!". Of course that last one was an actual campaign promise.
