big bad Jew ,   United States   (09.19.12)
obama no way.
33. The Pals are lying, read page 182 of
carlos ,   San Diego CA   (09.19.12)
Barry Rubin book on statements by Arafake and the Palestinian's charters. Romney is right. The democrats blame a video for the riots in Muslim countries . They don't have the capacity for understanding the causes of those events, How ignoramus and incompetent..
34. Carney and the Palestinians
Stephen\ ,   Boston, USA   (09.19.12)
Talk about "kicking the can down the road". That's exactly what this administration (along with Congress) has down with respect to our yearly deficits, debt crisis, immigration reform, entitlement reform, etc.. It's pathetic. It is refreshing to hear someone in the political sphere actually speak the truth, or "tell it like it is."
35. #29 Karen From Cali That's A Good One
(09.19.12)
A Spade? I Like A Desendent Of Ham better ;)
36. Really ??????
Abie Dee ,   New York   (09.19.12)
"Nobody wants peace more than the Palestinians" REALLY ???? Then why did they go to war in 1948 to destroy the new state? Why did they start more wars ? Why did they refuse two very generous offers from Israeli leaders ? Why do they continue to incite by airing anti semitic shows ? Why does Hamas continue to say it will NEVER recognize a Jewish state ? Why, why, why ? Because they really want peace ? yea,right.....
37. Repeated surveys show Pals do not want peaceful coexistence
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (09.19.12)
Romney is not pandering, just telling it like it is . They want to flood Israel with millions of Arabs so Dar al Islam rules.
38. Usual taqiya.They are evading peace&border talks
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (09.19.12)
39. What peace?The PA maps show ALL Israel as " Palestine"
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (09.19.12)
40. The incitement,rejection & racist hatred from PA/Hamas is
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (09.19.12)
the real story What they say in Arabic out of the other side of their mouths. Peace is not in the equation
41. Palestinians want Peace?
George ,   Cheyenne, USA   (09.19.12)
Since when do the Palestinians want peace? They have been dedicated to the elimination of Israel since I can remember. During the period leading up to the 67 war, when the UN was occupying Israel with peace keeping troops, they logged over 200,000 Arab violations. Egypt dismissed the peace keepers and readied to attack Israel along with Syria and finally Jordan. The US had abandoned them then too for political reasons. Israel won that war and took enough land to be able to defend themselves from those countries (I believe like they had during an earlier war but the US promised to keep peace if they gave the land back). I read a transcript of Romney's speech and every word is correct.
42. Romney's courage & friendship deserve our support.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.19.12)
Who needs the acceptance of the welfare bums and terrorists of the P.A.? Romney's courage and friendship deserve our wholehearted support. It takes great courage to speak the truth about the genocidal "Palestinian" poseurs.
43. Romney is da Shock and Awe man.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (09.19.12)
He shocks by his forthrightness and he awes by fingering the truth absolutely. It is a breath of fresh air after the steady diet of LIES and NONSENSE fed by the Liberals in general and Obama and his administration in particular. His points are very valid and relevent to the season. I just hope he can build on them, keep the ball in the air, dribble his opponents and send the ball into the net Fast and Furious despite them trying to drag him down at every turn. What a shock it must have been for the PA to have a US presidential candidate show up their lies. That certainly sent them scrambling.
44. "Peace" with an INVENTED "People"
Barry ,   Tokyo   (09.19.12)
Will never happen. Romney just stated what every thinking person already knows. Lying won't achieve anything for the Arabs
45. Avi Lieberman Speaking in Iran?
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (09.19.12)
I recall prior to the last election, Obama pandering to the Arabs, going so far as to apologize to them after Nov 4. The Democrats dont have a leg to stand on, if the opposition faults the Pales side in this 100yr old conflict. Romeny is saying what the truth is...the Pales have never denied themselves the opportunity for a real peace. Israel has offered them on 22 separate instances, control ovr their lives in a separate entity, state, sutonomy...to the 3 Nos...no negotiation (w/o preconditions), no peace, no recognition at compromised borders. Romney knows that he wiilllose votes..and gain some. Its probably equal. He is a man of conviction and integrity something Obama surely lacks., Iron Dome notwithstanding. The US has had no foreign policy for 4 years..just lots of talk. We have allowed the Isllamists, No.Koreans, and a few countries in So. America..to spit in our faces. 10 years ago, a writer for the NYTimes said, in 10 years, Iran will have the bomb. We trade with China, which aids the Kordans. We send aid to the Palestinians,whose only real motive is to destroy Israel. Yet, 70% of we Jews will vote for Obvama, our messiah. Our Reform rabbis think he is okay, while advocating same sex marriages and abortions ( all of which diminish our people). We criticize those rich who support Romney..while giving gelt to Obam wihout end. Tikkun Olam for the Sudan is paramount to us, while they riot blaming Israel/USA for the short film. And back at the UN, Ahmad will be speaking before the world audience, in the most Jeiwsh of cities. Its a schonda. I ask, could Avi Lieberman speak in Iran?
46. I Will Sell You the Brooklyn Bridge, Hanan
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (09.19.12)
Bibi says he is non-partisan. In hi heart of hearts,we know he cannot stand Obama. But Israel has to not be for one party over another...for pragmatic reasons. Obama may have 4 more years, if the minorities have their way. I find it intersting that a large majority of non-Hispanic whites will vote for Romney. Do they know something,we white Jews dont? Are we still in the pockets of the Demos, .thanks to Roosevelt and WW2? Do we think that the country's pending bankruptcy doesnat matter, but entitlements do? Do we believe that if we tax the rich and allow most Americans to avoid paing taxes..somehow we are doing justice to ourselves? Has liberlaism replaced the laws of Moses? Is aiding the worlds poor, Tikkun Olam the main tenent of our faith? ( While most countries at the recent Tehran conference want the Pales demands for a state at the Auschwitz bordders). The Arabs are cute..carefully avoiding attacking Romney, as they attack others....after all, he might be Pres. The Pales want peace..yes, a piece of Tel Aviv. Its like Iran saying their billions are going for medical isotopes..like me selling you the Williamsburg Bridge.
47. What Ashrawi meant was....
William ,   Israel   (09.19.12)
"Mitt Romney's remarks are dangerous.....to the "Palestinian" agenda" Yeah - no kidding!
48. "Nobody wants peace more than the 'Palestinians"
William ,   Israel   (09.19.12)
Except that no one wants your idea of peace, including the self-granted "human right" of lobbing rockets into civilian centers and sending 5million hostile Arabs into Israel to land they never owned nor have even seen. I guess the small mistake of questioning the "Palestinians" intentions are to be expected. If such a population really wanted peace, you'd expect them to grab it the first chance they had it, rather than reject it in lieu of terrorism 5 times over. You want peace - return to the negotiating table and stop issuing threats. Romney spoke the truth - and the "Palestinians" are naked.
49. #9 - I think Obama took a page from the Tehran Mullahs...
William ,   Israel   (09.19.12)
and blocked from the staffers the part of the Internet it disagrees with.
50. #8 - maybe if he returned to the ME and bowed further
William ,   Israel   (09.19.12)
it might help.
51. #18 - he said it was to help the Dems regain office
William ,   Israel   (09.19.12)
and to get back at the Republicans who bad-mouthed his grandfather's legacy. First, how did this little sh*t afford a $50,000 a plate fundraising dinner? Second, it's obvious he lied about his identity because no political campaign would have allowed a troll from the opposite side to attend a closed event. Finally, if he's really upset at the Republicans trashing his father's legacy, I wonder what he will do to the larger Iranian public whom his grand daddy screwed over.
52. Palestinians
Roxy ,   Israel   (09.19.12)
If the Palestinians really wanted peace we would have had peace by now. We gave them back Gaza, but instead of settling the land and living on it and farming it, they planted rocket launchers to fire at the Israeli cities in the south like Sderot,Ashkelon. If they wanted peace they would not be teaching 5 and 6 yr olds about Jihad ! The only peace they want is the Whole Piece of Israel for themselves !
53. Genocidal demands on Israel prove Muslims don't want peace.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (09.19.12)
Instead of demanding serial 2-states every 50 years in the same land, Muslims have exposed themselves of their agenda. Instead of shamelessly calling a 3-state as a 2-state in the same land and transferring 2,000 year Jewish names like Palestinian onto those openly panting for genocide - one cannot confuse evil demands as peace. Restore the Balfour, give the Copts a state in Jordan and the Sinai - allow multi-party rule every 4 years in Islamic states.
54. If not destruction of Jewish Israel what is peace to Pals?
Sam ,   Canada   (09.19.12)
Palestinians can't say what peace is because they want the destruction of Israel. It's just not politically correct for them to say so. It's about time Western leaders emulated Romney and called a spade a spade. Palestinians are just using them trying to get the West to boycott Israel to death.
55. Sorry, Palestupidians, Romney Is RIGHT!
musicwriter4life ,   USA   (09.19.12)
The only way that Arabs want "Peace with Israel" is for Israel to cease to exist. Which means, like it or lump it, that Romney is nothing more than a realist who understands how followers of Islam think; lying to apostates is acceptable to them...
56. Romney is right... is that why the Pals think him dangerous?
(09.19.12)
57. Palestinians want peace more?
Jake Stone ,   USA   (09.19.12)
Give me a freakin' break!!!
58. "PA: Mitt Romney remarks dangerous" - how dangerous?
leo ,   usa   (09.19.12)
59. Romney is right
Brod ,   USA   (09.19.12)
Romney is right about the PA Islamist-Jihadists. They don't have peace in mind. Their peace is the destruction of Israel as stipulated in their Charter, Maps and School Textbooks. The Number One Enemy of the America and the Free World is Islamist-Jihadism. America needs a strong leader like Romney who can deter the scourge of Islamist-Jihadism that is sweeping the world like a Tsunami. Romney is absolutely right about the dark forces that are a threat to Israel, America and the Free World.
60. I thought the third Anti-Christ was predicted to be clever.
Raphael NYC   (09.19.12)
Romney is a fool. Only the insane would vote him into the White House given his comments about the American poor, and lack of diplomatic skill.
