During the same fundraising speech in which he made reference to the 47% who
were going to vote for President Obama, Mitt Romney was even more candid
about the Palestinians:
I'm torn by two perspectives in this regard. One is the one which I've
held 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.
After speaking about Iranian ambitions on the West Bank, Romney went on to
say:
And I look at the Palestinians not wanting to see peace anyway, for
political purposes, committed to the destruction and elimination of Israel.
Romney also mentions that a former Secretary of State recently called and
indicated the possibility of a peace agreement between Israel and the
Palestinians after the Palestinian elections. He did not disclose which
Secretary of State nor why he or she believed that to be true. Regardless of
which Secretary of State said this to Romney, this seems like wishful
thinking to me.
I'm glad to see that a presidential candidate who is honest enough to admit
that he cannot make peace in the Middle East. He is absolutely right to say
that Palestinians aren't interested in peace with Israel. It's kind of hard
to make peace with someone who wants to destroy you. So long as Palestinians
name their streets, schools and soccer fields after those who have murdered
Israelis and celebrate the murder of Israeli children by handing candies to
their children there will never be peace. The time has come to have an
White House that won't pressure Israel into entering a peace agreement the
Palestinians don't want in the first place.
I must say that I like this side of Romney. He's more relaxed and at ease
when he's engaged in straight talk. Mitt should let his hair down wherever
he speaks. |
