Mitt Romney called Jerusalem the capital of Israel, angering the Palestinians and receiving cheers from Israelis. The Palestinians said Romney was undermining peace prospects. What peace prospects?
There are no peace prospets when your enemy wants you removed from existence. The Palestinians said Romney was ignoring their own claims to the city and most world opinion. Good for him ignoring their false claims to Jerusalem. As to world opinion, only the Muslim world and looney people who have bought the lies believe the Palestinians.
The Palestinians said:
"We condemn his statements. Those who speak about the two-state solution should know that there can be no Palestinian state without East Jerusalem," chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat told Reuters on Monday.
"What this man is doing here is just promoting extremism, violence and hatred, and this is absolutely unacceptable," he said. "His statements are just rewarding the occupation and aggression." (Yahoo News)
Whew! That's rich. That's fantasy.
Barack Hussein Obama's administration will not take a stand, they will not say that Jerusalem belongs to Israel.
Romney did not bow to anyone. Yesterday Gaza terrorists fired mortars at IDF soldiers. Now who is extreme, violent and hateful? Who is unacceptable? Not the Israelis.
The Obama administration has made a very clear stand.
Just to let everyone know, there is a law on the books directing the US Embassy to be moved to Jerusalem, signed sealed and delivered, but the Department of State has failed to take action on the matter, Why?
Mr. Obama is not a supporter of the State of Israel, He is a supporter and a devotee of the state of Palestine and he will do anything to be known as the President that got that finally done.
To support this, he has failed to support the freedom seeking Iranian movement when they were in the street everywhere in the country, the Mullahs have never been under such pressure and they were then. Fail # 1.
Mr. Obama has failed to support the rebellion in Syria because they are allies with Iran.
Iran and Syria are the only countries putting any pressure on Israel about Mr. Obama's treasure, being the President that gets the State of Palestine up and running.
Of course, Mr. Obama will be trying to be a Secretary General of the UN as well, but that's for another day.
As to the West bank, the west bank was occupied by Jordan, after it was set aside, by agreement, for the new Arab Nation that was to be created when Israel was to be. They did this Far before the 67 war.
Mr. Obama has failed once again to tell the Hamas terrorists from Gaza to stop sending missiles into Israel, How can anyone expect anyone to not fire back after being attacked? We responded militarily after 9/11, why can't the Israeli's do the same to protect themselves?
Hamas is a terrorist organization, PLO is a terrorist organization and until they stop their BS warped Education for their children and stop attacking Israel, they will never have a nation of their own and Yes, I would fight to defend Israel without 1 seconds hesitation!!
Yassir Arafat, the leader of Fatah and the PLO, was in Camp David and was promised 90% of what he wanted for a peace treaty and the creation of a Palestinian state, he refused and the Palestinian people have nothing.
The Arabs are at fault for this and their military failures and political stupidity are there for everyone to see!

First a comment on the above statement:
-the PLO will never alter their approach to education - it is the nature of Islam and Islamic education: hatred of anyone/anything that is not Islamic, and then hatred of the 'wrong sort' of Islam.
Israel and America should wear their hatred as a badge of honor.
Romney has gotten better every week, but he is up against Beelzebub Obama and needs to recongize this. If you pray,pray. If you can get out the vote, donate to a campaign do it. We must all work to do everything we can to defeat this evil.

Romney also got the unofficial nod from Poland's former president/union leader Lech Walesa.
Poles represent a people who did not possess their own country for 126 years -- how long have the Arabs in Palestine gone without their own country?? -- and were absolutely brutalized by the Russians and then the Soviets and, yet, they did not resort to violence of the sort that wished Russia off the face of the planet (at least from any public officials).

The Palestinians are indeed looney (or as Dennis Miller says about Nancy Pelosi "bat-shit crazy"). Of course you must understand that the ideal marriage in their culture is for relatives to marry - hence the inbreeding is pretty severe leading to low IQs and assorted problems. Plus they have been used for decades by the rest o the Arab world as a prod to poke at the Jews. They are the scum of the earth - even to other Muslims. No sympathy from me for these hateful lunatics.
