Romney: There’s no alternative to the two-state solution

Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) returned from a Middle East tour saying that he saw no alternative to the Israeli-Palestinian Arab conflict other than the two-state solution, JTA reported Wednesday.

“I would say I don’t know what the alternative is other than a two-state solution,” Romney was quoted as having said on Tuesday in his first meeting with reporters since returning from the region last week.

“No one articulated to us anywhere in the region an idea or a proposal for something other than a two-state solution,” added Romney, who has just assumed the chairmanship of the Middle East subcommittee in the Senate.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), the ranking member on the subcommittee, traveled with Romney and sat at his side during the briefing in the Capitol. He nodded in agreement, saying “right”, according to JTA.

Romney went on to describe leaders he and Murphy met in the Palestinian areas and Jordan.

“They described what would occur if there were not a two-state solution, and that would be an Israel — or a one state — an Israel where you have 6.6 million Palestinians and 6.6 million Jews and the Palestinians have larger families than the Jews, and so over time it would become predominantly Palestinian,” he said. “That would not seem to be something which the Israelis were looking for and something which the Palestinians felt was unlikely to be the outcome that would be satisfying to the Israeli government.” …

RINOmney never misses a chance to show that folks with virtually discernible talents or abilities can become politicians...while still remaining total failures.

Oops, that’s “no discernible....”

Emphasis on the “no” part.

Romneycare told you all you needed to know.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I chose to ignore that back in the day, but recently it’s become clear this guy is a pile of cow crap. You’re right.

Waiting for the day...and it will come...when Trump fires that verbal kill shot on this creep.

His plan is to buy Israel, break it apart, move all of its production to China, file bankruptcy to screw its creditors. Bain Capital 101.

For once, I agree with Mitt’s statement.
Just not his interpretation.

Two States.
Not three.
Israel and Jordan as in the beginning.

Ship every Muslim to Jordan.

Obamaphone lady: “Romney? He sucks! Bad!”

She wasn’t wrong. His opinion on literally anything is worthless.

The dumbass. There is an alternative. Israel keeps it’s present borders, and the west bank remains an occupied territory where non-Israeli citizens never get the vote.

A one state solution lets Palestinians vote in Israel and that’s the end.
A two state solution creates a nation taking a bite out of Israel and makes all of Israel in danger of artillery and rocket fire and at grave risk of an attack.

Romney is a damned traitor to everything decent.

They Arabs had the their chance, but they walked away from the deal. Tough luck, no do-overs.

The only "solution" is a one state "solution" called Israel. Arabs can go live in Jordan, Egypt, or Saudi Arabia with their inbred brethern.

Two states will do nothing to quell the pathological hatred the Palestinians are consumed by.

As far as human nature is concerned, Utah and Nevada would represent a two-state solution. So I guess the acorn did not fall far from the tree.

Willard..takes right after his old man. You all know, the old man who had to call in the 101 and 82nd to try and stop the Deeetroit riots. Which started because of the cops breaking up a after hours party.

I hear you on that one...the only problem is in this State, if you don’t do what the Mormons (morons) want, then you don’t get it...that is who put RAT in office, but one thing is happening here in Utah, the Cult is losing their power, slowly but surly...
