Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney supports a two-state solution to solve the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, he told CNN during his visit to Jerusalem.

In an interview with the American news network, which took place in Jerusalem on Sunday, Romney was asked if he saw the starting point for negotiations as the borders which existed prior to the 1967 Six Day War. He responded by saying, “I'm not being that specific. I'm saying that there will be borders that have to be negotiated and what the starting point is something which will be decided by the parties involved.”

He added, “What the ending point is will be decided by the parties involved.”

Addressing the issue of Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria, which the U.S. has criticized, Romney said that the issue “is something that should be discussed in private by the American president and our allies.”

“When we show a diplomatic distance between ourselves and our ally, I think we encourage people who oppose that relationship to seek other means to achieve their ends,” he added.

Romney also repeated that the capital of Israel is Jerusalem, something he also said during a speech in the Old City on Sunday.

Round up the Palestinians and give them their own enclave in Antarctica. Let them figure out how to survive in an ice desert.

A two-state solution is the only solution available if Israel wishes to remain a Jewish and democratic state. In the not-too-distant future, the demographics within Israel are going to be such that the Muslim population will be able to elect Muslims to the Knesset and local political bodies. Once that happens in sufficient numbers, a Jewish Israel becomes practically impossible unless the government wishes to deprive the Palis of critical human rights. It's the same reason that the U.S. will eventually have to cede the Southwest to Mexico (and I say that only half jokingly).

I guess the Palis will have to learn to fish and like whale blubber. Or, as you said, starve (and freeze).
