Mitt Romney at fundraiser: ‘Palestinians have no interest whatsoever in establishing peace’
Washington Post ^ | September 18 | Ed O'Keefe

Posted on 09/18/2012 7:04:36 AM PDT by PghBaldy

Mitt Romney told a private audience of campaign donors in May that the Middle East peace process is “an unsolved problem” and likely unattainable because the Palestinian people have no interest in establishing peace with Israel. The Republican presidential candidate also blamed President Obama for “an extraordinarily naive perception” that some of the world’s most notorious dictators will sit down and talk to him about their differences.

The “Palestinians” a hodgepodge of refugee Arabs expelled from their home countries by Jordan, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, are the trash people of the world, misfits wherever they may be. Their presence on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip is not enforced so much by the Israelis as by these countries from which they were expelled.

The are the human shield pushed forward agains Israeli, with wicked promises of becoming “respectable” in the Arabic community, if they manage to overcome and press back the Israelis. Of course, for people barely above the Stone Age, this is a suicide task, as there is no way they may EVER prevail against a united and determined Jewish majority in Israel. The “Palestinians” have their own fifth column within Israeli, with a large minority of naturalized and natural-born Muslim Arabic citizens inside their country, who largely oppose any steps the Knesset may take to assure the integrity of Israel’s national sovereignty.

Romney is absolutely correct in stating the “Palestinians” do not want any kind of peace accommodation with the Israelis, they want the Israelis GONE, marched into the sea, or fled elsewhere in the world, or simply annihilated. The “Palestinians” fairly DROOL at the prospect, and it colors every aspect of their daily lives. They teach their children this litany in the schools, they say it openly on the street, and they conspire in secrecy for various schemes to make that end possible.

Truth burns the ears of the naïve and those who would keep them that way. Shame on Romney for daring to utter it.

What part is it of the truth that Ed O’Keefe doesn’t understand?

Hmmm.....ANOTHER Truthism from Romney....would he only voice it during his campaign appearances and in debate.

I was thinking the same thing, but now, after hearing more of what Romney said, I'm convinced his campaign was behind this leak. Who handled it along the way makes no difference, it's how it was initially leaked.

This is good, VERY good for Romney. He is saying what the majority of Americans think and believe.

This could really be interesting to watch unfold. If the MSM deem it to be harmful to Romney, they'll be all over it. On the other hand, if they think it may help him, watch how quickly it becomes a non-story.

Because he’s a politician - he has political skills, but no leadership skills. If he was a leader, he would simply speak his mind, and stick to his principles...

I don’t believe the Palestinian leadership wants peace either... I’m sure some Palestinians citizens want peace - just like there were Japanese citizens in World War II who wanted peace. But that has nothing whatsoever to do with the leadership...

Romney should take one of the press opportunities and veer off to the subjects Obama wants to avoid, like the mid east in flames.

I suspected this was his belief. It’s time to declare all West Bank and Gaza territories to be the property of Israel, the spoils of war.
Palestinians already have a homeland. It’s called JORDAN, and it’s not our fault that it’s ruled by a Saudi Emir. You want to put a Palestinian authority in charge? Have a revolution.

Not very many of them. The leadership were elected by large majorities and polling shows shows the vast majority believe the same. They've been brainwashing themselves, almost literally from the cradle, with these beliefs for several generations. Even other arabs can't stand them.

Go Romney damn it don’t worry about the Palestinian terrorist vote, shove all these quotes down Obama’s throat!
And now definitely ask for the tape of Obama saluting some terrorist and denouncing Israel to be released! The press is hiding that one.
Anyone peeing their panties out there over Romney dissing the entitlement state and the Palestinians who have fostered the likes of Arafat, get over it and buck up.

Every conservative candidate, talk radio host, etc should be demanding release of that Obama tape. They rush out everything on Romney; yet cover Obama's ass for him. The tape won't ever be released; but it at least needs to be talked about.
