Romney is right. A "culture" built around hating Jews and blaming them for all your problems does not make you productive. A similar statement holds for American minorities who blame whites.

I don’t understand how a “wimp” is constantly saying “controversial” things.

A culture that teaches their children the engineering necessary to build a bridge or a building will have economic success.

A culture that teaches their children the engineering necessary to BLOW up a bridge or a building will not have nearly the same economic success.

There is nothing racist about pointing that out either.

the Palestinian economy cannot reach its potential because there is an Israeli occupation embezzlement of foreign aid, nepotism, envy, and protection rackets occupying the economic life of the people instead of actual trade.

(Adjusted for truth.)

What would godless Romney know about the covenant the Jews are under - Abraham’s descendants. The power is GOD.

Acts 3:25 And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.

“The comments Monday are the second time that Mr. Romney has unwittingly offended a group of people in a part of the world he was visiting.”

Maybe. Maybe not.

So... I guess the Palinistas won't be voting for Romney this time out.

Big surprise, that.

[a fool in paradise]

In an interview with the Associated Press, Saeb Erekat, a senior aide to President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority, called Mr. Romney’s remarks “racist.” “It is a racist statement and this man doesn’t realize that the Palestinian economy cannot reach its potential because there is an Israeli occupation,” Mr. Erekat said. “It seems to me this man lacks information, knowledge, vision and understanding of this region and its people.”

"Racist" is an odd term coming from a group of people who claim that Jews are the offspring of pigs and monkeys.

All Palestinians export is terrorism, does not pay well.

Palestinians take their kids out of school usually around grade six to help work the fields. Israeli’s value sending their children to college.

Jews fight to protect life, Palestinians strap explosives on their own children to cause as much death as possible.

You cant find a street sign in the Gaza strip, the palestinians cut them all down to use the pipes for bombs.

In Jerusalem the street signs are in english, hebrew and arabic.

Engineers get paid more than construction laborers around the world, its not racial everywhere else but Israel!

Yeah, Mitt is exactly right.

And the ones who yell racism the loudest are always the racists.

By the way, the figures he is quoting are the figures PRE Carter Peace talks. It stood 21k to 10k then. Now the the Arabs have their own Goobermint, it stands 24k to 2k.

Yeah, Carter and the State Department really helped those poor Arabs all right. Fixed them but good.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Saeb Erekatcalled Mr. Romney’s remarks “racist.”

IDIOT!

Many Jews and "Palestinians" are actual cousins, cut from the same DNA cloth. Culture does not equal race.

[W. W. SMITH]

Israel should offer to buy the Sinai from Egypt, every thing east of the Suez canal. Also enter into a two state agreement with Jordan. Give that new nation two decades and they would be a first world power
