If it was genuine I could understand, but it is so superficial and staged on his part. I would think the Israelis would be more insulted than anything else!

At least Romney acknowledged that Jerusalem was the capital of Israel, which is more than the Obama administration has been able to do.

Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. There is no such state called Palestine.

As for Romney perhaps he is trying to get the votes of the Americans who live in Israel.

Why did Obama kiss up to the Middle East on his apology tour?

Why is Romney kissing up to Israel?


Probably to make up for 4 years of Obama kissing up to the terrorists and thugs of the countries surrounding it, telling Israel to go back to the pre-1967 borders, and other such outrages.

Anything else I can help you with?

Because, along with England, the US has meddled in the affairs of Middle Eastern and Asian countries (e.g. Operation Ajax, US support for Saddam during the Iran-Iraq War).

Romney is doing what he does because he needs the support of Bible-thumpers as well as the need to appease the pro-Israel lobby which has diverted hard-earned taxpayer dollars to Israel.

Obama must be doing something right, because Israel's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Ehud Barak said today:

Quote:
Barak -also a former prime minister of Israel - said that though historically administrations from both political parties have supported the Jewish state President Obama's support, security-wise, is unparalleled.
Quote:
"But I should tell you honestly that this administration under President Obama is doing in regard to our security more than anything that I can remember in the past."

He's kissing up to the Jews to show the Jewish voters at home that he isn't going to throw them under the bus like Obama did.
