The White House called Monday on Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney to explain recent remarks including his apparent endorsement of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, a position that counters U.S. policy.
Romney, in the midst of a three-nation tour, gave a speech Sunday in Jerusalem where he hailed the city as “the capital of Israel,” in apparent support of a position held by the Jewish state but never accepted by the global community.
The comment was swiftly rejected by Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat as “unacceptable” and “harmful to American interests in our region.”
But after Romney made fresh controversial statements Monday to donors in Jerusalem including suggesting Israeli “culture” helped explain the country’s economic success -- a position Erakat denounced as “racist” -- President Barack Obama’s office urged Romney to clarify his comments.

Hope the American Jewish community turns their back on Obama. He is certainly not a friend of Israel.
Someone needs to clue Zer0 in.
History goes back prior to the 7th century.
Romney, do not back down.
Too late, Islam is for idiots who want to believe they are superior becuase of rituals, sins..they don’t matter, Mad mo sez, murder away, rape on, and the Islamic BS grows..
As obama said on June 4, 2008, before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), “Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided.”

Another quote from his AIPAC speech:
“Before I begin, I want to say that I know some provocative e-mails have been circulating throughout Jewish communities across the country. A few of you may have gotten them. They’re filled with tall tales and dire warnings about a certain candidate for president. And all I want to say is — let me know if you see this guy named Barack Obama, because he sounds pretty frightening.”
He said it.
Romney should just give them the finger and then ignore them.
mitt romney, “ok sparky... I will explain... you are a muslim and hate Israel... I am not and do not”.

This White House has no right to ask anyone to explain anything with their long list of lies and corruption. How about this White House explaining their treason???
Jerusalem is the historic capital of the Jewish nation. Those who say otherwise are liars.
However, what will have been unleased when all of Jerusalem is securely and totally in control of the Jews?
It is interesting to see who advocates it and who obstructs it.
2 Pe 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying , Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep , all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. .... 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish , but that all should come to repentance.
The Bible indicates that God intentionally holds off the end so that as many as possible can find salvation. We see in Luke & Romans a message that outreach, particularly to non-Jewish peoples, will peak and then dwindle to a trickle, and that that time is of great significance.
Compared with Luke 21:
Lu 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled . 25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring ; 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken
And Paul adds to the mystery in this from Romans 11
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in . 26 And so all Israel shall be saved
The fullness of the gentiles coming in does not say "all of the gentiles have come in", but it does seem to indicate that there are diminishing returns on efforts, that the storehouse is nearly full and not much more will fit easily inside. This Sodom-like culture in today's world does indicate an extreme unwillingness to listen to the words of God.
Are the times of great Revivals among gentiles drawing to an end?
Is this the time spoken of by Paul to the Thessalonians?
2 Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed , the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Jerusalem fully in the hands of the Jews, and Romney promoting it and Obama fighting it. Both of those men full narcissists, and each in their own way seeing himself as godlike, and each worshipping a strange god (may the force be with you?) not of their fathers.
The White House saw an opening to criticize Romney. "One of the challenges of being an actor on the international stage, particularly when you're traveling to such a sensitive part of the world, is that your comments are very closely scrutinized," pointed out White House Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest. " ... And it is clear that there are some people who have taken a look at those comments and are scratching their heads a little bit."A masterful move by Romney. Whatever the White House says is going to alienate some Dem constituency.
Frighteningly real.
I always thought it was up to the country in question to decide where its capital should be.
We decided on Washington, DC for our country. There’s no way we would move it if some other country objected.
Israel decided on Jerusalem. End of discussion.
Right after obama explains four years of failed economic policy?
This whole election should be "too easy".
That it's not a wrap already makes me fear for our nations short term future and continued viable existence.
It is a given that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel...
As a Christian I’ve always known that...
But it seems untold millions of unfortunates didnt...

This White House bunch and the press are what my late daddy called pukes. I will call them the same, they’re all a bunch of pukes!
You might want to post a translation of that crap if you want to pass on some very important message.
I’m still waiting to hear the White House’s explanation of that forged Selective Service card.
Barry is in trouble. I smell flop sweat.
Romney did VERY good in both Poland and Israel.
Thank you for those beautiful Scriptures, dear brother in Christ, and for sharing your insights!
