It's about time an American politician pointed out the truth about the middle East. The more I hear from Romney, the more I like him.
Years ago, the Hamas charter had a passage saying that Hamas was committed to the destruction of Israel and the annihilation of its people. Does anyone know if that passage has finally been removed? Or is it still in there?
Most "Palestinian" people, of course, are not violent people. They have no interest in destroying Israel, and would rather be left alone to live their lives, raise their kids, etc. They really don't care one way or another about Israel at all. But their fanatic militant leaders have crafted an odd situation, in which they have become a permanent victim class, forbidden to assimilate, grow, or prosper.
Oddest thing about the "Palestinian" people, is the way their extremist militant leaders got the UN to modify its definition of "refugees". A "refugee" used to be a person driven from his home and living somewhere else in exile. Such refugees usually get absorbed into the country of residence. But the UN somehow decided that, in the unique case of these "Palestinians", their descendants would also be known as "refugees" - a situation unique in world history, and one that guarantees a constant supply of "refugees" forever, waiting for a "solution" that will never come: the destruction of Israel.
Most of the "Palestinian" people describing themselves as "refugees", were in fact born where they live now, and cannot be considered "refugees" from anything. Except possibly from the various Arab countries who refused to take their original refugee ancestors, or themselves, in.

Video: Republican Mitt Romney lambastes 2-state solution

US Republican presidential candidate filmed at fundraising dinner saying Palestinians "have no interest whatsoever in establishing peace," adding Iran would use nuclear capability to blackmail US.
US Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney questioned the feasibility of the establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, according to video footage published Tuesday by US magazine Mother Jones.
"I'm torn by two perspectives in this regard," Romney said at a $50,000-per-plate fundraising dinner on May 17. "One is the one which I've had for some time, which is that the Palestinians have no interest whatsoever in establishing peace, and that the pathway to peace is almost unthinkable to accomplish."
Romney then launched into a hypothetical scenario in which Israelis allow the Palestinians to establish a state in the West Bank but are then forced to contend with unsolvable security and border issues.
It is "maybe seven miles from Tel Aviv to what would be the West Bank," he said, repeating an oft-cited Israeli security concern alleging that an opposing Arab army in the West Bank could cut Israel in half horizontally in a matter of minutes. "And now how about the airport?" he asked.
