31. The So-Called Palestinians....
ltrail ,   United States   (09.18.12)
Have leaders in both the PA and Hamas, that will do anything and everything to retain their power, their continuing wealth, and focus. Their focus is to drive the Jews into the sea. The rank and file of those who identify with these leaders, are used as a political tool and don't realize it. They are Egyptians, Jordanians, and maybe a couple of other nationalities. Let them have a chunk of the Sinai, and then completely cut off their monthly stipend since they are no longer "guests" of the State of Israel.
32. Romney is a Mormon
roger ,   zurich switzerland   (09.18.12)
As a Mormon, Romney is keen to bring on the End Times and the new Millennium via the Tribulation...7 years of misery and destruction. That means Armageddon, mass slaughter, and the conversion of the Jews to Christianity with the coming of the Messiah and the building of the Third Temple. In other words, he is a psychotic maniac and the last thing he wants to see is peace with the Arabs.
33. The Truth but..........
Reuven ,   Zichron, Israel   (09.18.12)
Much of what Romney states about the Palestinian's intentions are correct and isprobably what Natanyahu explainesd to him. But Natanyahu has totaly failed in making this clear to the leaders of the non-Islam nations of the world. It is correct that the Palestinians deliberately wasted the 10 month cesation of building in the West Bank which was intended to allow for bipartisan discussions. Bur when Obama asked Israel to stop building for another 3 months, Natanyahu refused and immediately building recommensed. This has resulted in Israel being blamed for no progress when it should have been otherwise and we will see the net results in a vote in the UN Assembly for the recognition of Palestine as a non member state. And who will vote for? The non Islam states who blame Israel for the failure. It is amazing to see Natanyahu's shortsitedness in painting Israel into a corner and he is personally to blame.
34. Well well well... Truth needs to be said, thx :)
Yossef   (09.18.12)
35. They are refusing to totally call it in Americaland
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (09.18.12)
but with 49 days to go more and more pundits are now describing the election as a one horse race. Which is kind of dangerous as it will probably push Netanyahu into doing something really really stupid in the hope of influencing tsaid election.
36. Because he tells the truth
mark ,   za   (09.18.12)
The Joke is Obama and leftist liberals who still believe in a mythological paece agreement with the Palestinians
37. Oh contrare dear fellow
Mark ,   ZA   (09.18.12)
The Jew who will vote Obama is voting in the end of Israel and possibly the US. Iran will thrive under Obama especially when they get the bomb. Someome must have messed with your ability to reason logicallty
38. Truth and Understanding
jay abouaf ,   Jaffa, Israel   (09.18.12)
This man, Mitt Romney, understand more about the Palestinians than almost all the Middle East "experts", (with due exception to Bernard Lewis and Daniel Pipes).
39. Check Romney's Other Stands
emanon ,   USA   (09.18.12)
He is anti-women, anti-gay, anti-nonchristian, anti-middle class, anti-poor (and that does NOT mean he wants to help them) and antithetical to most true freedoms. He would force those with LESS money to support those with MORE money, destroy America's natural resources and back pollution creating projects. He is also a liar almost every time he opens his mouth. This is the first truthful statement I've heard from him in the entire campaign. I will cast my vote for the president that serves me and America best.
40. is it just me?
anton ,   istanbul   (09.18.12)
or republican candidates are almost same? this guy looks kinda alike george bush, he talks like bush he definetly no so clever( thınking he would get jewish votes by blaming pals only),a smarter politician would do it subtly like obamas speech in which he almost covertly touched every part of american electorate:) this guy doesnt stand a chance in elections if americans listens the content of his speeches and intelligence in it :)
41. So, what's the problem here?
William ,   Israel   (09.18.12)
Mitt spoke truthfully about the situation as he sees it, and gave very realistic issues that current weigh down the peace process. Neither the PLO or Hamas is really interested in peace. That's already known. Hamas wants war with Israel, the PLO wants to take Israel piece by piece. And judging by how quickly the "Palestinians" threw away their ambition for a State, a fast growing economy, free movement of citizens in 2000 when they had EVERYTHING they wanted, it is very prudent to consider that they would indeed allow a 3rd country to place weapons there to target Israelis. Hamas already does this in Gaza, and the PA can't seem to "find" all of the Hizbullah operatives in the West Bank yet they know they're there. And, regardless of how Mother Jones wants to manipulate the situation, the ENTIRE leadership (and that includes reps at various intl groups, and terrorists) ALL agree on the goal to destroy Israel. Only a handful of the population wants to see a real 2-State solution and friendship with the Jewish State, but they have neither power nor prestige. Counting them, as Mother Jones did, is just an attempt to deflect any blame towards the "Palestinians" and the Democratic party.
42. #24 - and when Dems need Liberal cash...
William ,   Israel   (09.18.12)
they claim a socialist Utopia and peace in the Middle East are all possible and within reach. Since Greek times, such a Utopia has been sought and never accomplished by human beings. The Liberals never seem to care that it hasn't or wondered why.
43. #28 - remember how the Dem delegates boo'ed
William ,   Israel   (09.18.12)
when the Dems tried to put G-d and Jerusalem back on the platform? The Dem leadership had to over-ride their delegates because of political needs, but the majority of the Dems want G-d removed, money from most successful people spread to the least successful (except from Dem leadership, of course), and Jerusalem handed to the "Palestinians" who never even ruled there. I also remember clearly how the Dems in Congress APPLAUDED the Mexican president who came to the US and lambasted the American people for their attempts to stop illegal immigration.
44. Grazek! Israel isa tougher nut thanU think.Not easy to crack
Alan ,   SA   (09.18.12)
You and your fellow travellers think that Obama will crack Israel FYI ... I too think Obama will be voted in again... but he wont crack any Israel nuts. Dont think he hasnt tried hard over 4 years to finish Israel. He's made a massive mess of M E .He wont throw Israel under any bus.(not through lack of trying VERY VERY hard.)
45. #35 With Obama riding off into the horizon
Cynthia ,   USA   (09.18.12)
The polls confirm a close race and Obama supporters should assume nothing. Frankly, why anyone would vote for Obama is beyond me.
46. What Can You Do?
yoni ,   Shomron   (09.18.12)
The guy is right!
47. #45
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (09.18.12)
Americans rightfully won't vote on the "Arab issue", but on something that matters. Romney said that 47% of Americans don't pay taxes, meaning they are supported by working Americans. Some of the 47% are really unable to pay and deserve support, but some are lazy and think they deserve your money. The lazy parasites will certainly vote for Community Organizer Obama who never had an honest job and promises more handouts paid by taxing the people who work. The people who work will have to choose: the community organizer, or someone who knows how work hard and run a business.
48. #32 Romney is a....
ltrail ,   United States   (09.19.12)
Your comment doesn't ring sound, "Roger" (if that is truly a name from your race of people). Romney's Morman religion has nothing to do with stopping the crazy's of Muslim descent, The world is completely fed-up with their murders and intimidations. Those of the PA and Hamas wish to continue non-peace for their own wealth.
49. Prospects for Arab-Israeli Peace
Gerald A. Honigman ,   Florida, USA   (09.19.12)
Forget about poltical correctness...Romney is correct. I have done extensive doctoral research in this very field. While there is much talk of a "2 state solution," the Arabs themselves reject this. Even the alleged "moderates" repeatedly say that they will never recognize Israel as a "Jewish" state and follow that up with their demand that Israel allow itself to be swamped by millions of allegedly "returning" Arab refugees. They have called all negotiations with Jews merely a "Trojan Horse," steps along the way in their proclaimed "destruction-in-stages" plans. Romney is correct and needs to not back down on this issue. My heavily documented book gets into all of this in great detail http://q4j-middle-east.com
50. #47 - problem is - ALOT of Dems are in 1%
William ,   Israel   (09.19.12)
and NONE of them have offered to increase their own tax rate or reduce their selfish spending. Take Pelosi for instance. Straight from N. California, says she fights for social justice, was caught doing insider trading deals (like most of Congress was) and spent millions re-decorating her office in San Francisco. The Obamas are worth millions. John Kerry of Massachusetts was cited by the IRS for purposely keeping his boat docked in Rhode Island to avoid paying taxes on his multi-million dollar yacht....and the list goes on. Naive twits are often duped by people who offer them everything in return for nothing. That's how most con games work. When the Dems decide take the public healthcare system they're trying to place on the rest of the American people, and when Dems accept tax hikes on themselves which they try to force on those making $250K or above, and when the Dems promote the value of equal rights and human rights for EVERYONE - not just those special groups they support - then I'll see them as more than the average parasitic political group.
51. Romney is right
Brod ,   USA   (09.19.12)
Romney is absolutely right about the dark forces whose goal calls for the destruction of Israel as stipulated in their Charter, Maps and School Textbooks.
52. #39 emanon---higer unemployment, less jobs, more on food
Netanya ,   Netanya   (09.19.12)
stamps, more families living below the poverty level, more homeless, less optimism, shrinking economy, high debt (more than all the past presidents together) are all the products of Obama. Obama not only doesn't serve well for international affairs, he is ruining USA. As it is USA is more like a third world country that it ever has been before. In another year or two, India will look like a modern country next to USA with Obama. Romney is best for USA and all the things that you wrote are BS, romney will get you a job, will get USA on her feet, will make USA a superpower and will not bow down to Muslims worldwide which gets Americans murdered.
53. Obama is an EMBARRASSMENT TO USA
Netanya ,   Netanya   (09.19.12)
USA was a superpower and the president of USA was respected, when he spoke people listened, he never bowed to Arabs (who are primitive) and never did more damage to USA than Obama has done. Obama speaks and nobody in the world cares, the Arabs murder Americans without impunity, Americans are out of work and all that Obama has done is throw tons of money out of the window. I don't believe that anyone who loves USA can even think of voting for Obama. Do you want more poor people in USA? Haven't you had enough of illegal immigration? Come on Americans, see what is going on right in front of your eyes, Obama is only a problem and Romney is the solution. For a strong USA, Jobs and respect, Romney is unbeatable. I really also don't know why anyone would vote for the liar Obama. He is the one who got the Americans in Libya murdered by his weak stance on the Arab violence in Egypt. All he had to do when Egypt trespassed on the embassy was state clearly and strongly that freedom of speech was not debatable and anyone who harmed an American would be hunted down and killed, and all trespassers would also be held accountable for their illegal actions. His apology is the reason the ambassador in Libya was raped, murdered and dragged through the street.
54. Graczek, don't be so cock-sure
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (09.19.12)
DemocRATS had their asses whupped in 2010
55. Romney
Gene Graczyk ,   Santa Rosa, CA USA   (09.19.12)
Not so fast, my dears! While so many here are just loving Willard's odd views of the situation in Israel, you DID get to the part where he says he plans on doing absolutely as little as possible to move things in any way? You all will just have to live with what he calls a China/Taiwan situation for another forty or hundred years and then, maybe just maybe, something new will happen to make it better or worse or something. Only Americans get to choose our leader and it will not be this cold plutocrat or his Ayn Rand minion Ryan. His campaign is falling apart, almost every major conservative railed against him in print or on TV. There are a growing number of Republicans fearful that he will also cost them seats in the House and Senate. Romney is not loved even in his own party. Watch the debates and we can talk again. Be very afraid of this empty suit--you may need the US one day soon and he is NOT to be trusted--by anyone, anywhere.
