Washington – Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney says President Barack Obama’s latest move to improve ties with Israel doesn’t go far enough.

Obama is set to sign legislation Friday to expand military and civilian cooperation with Israel. The bill reiterates U.S. support for a negotiated two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The Republican’s campaign says Romney is happy steps are being taken to enhance security cooperation with Israel. But that the bill “does nothing” to address whether Obama recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Obama’s move comes one day before Romney visits Israel. Romney was scheduled to arrive in Jerusalem on Saturday as part of an overseas trip that includes stops in Britain and Poland.
Romney is full of it. Obama could move the embassy, provide a million tons of concrete to build a complete security fence and cut off all ties to the non-Israeli Arabs (aka Palestinians to the rest of the world), and he would still say Obama didn’t go far enough.
No Republican president has moved the embassy, and Romney wouldn’t either.
Avi – ur not paying attention if your a pro israel jew and still think you belong in the democratic party. There really is no comparison between romneys real pro israel view and O fake full of it fake smile “pro peace” view. I also think O will be much worse for israel in the second term
But Obama is openly hostile towards Israel and couldn’t care less. He’s only making this move now because of the upcoming election. Where was he for the past 3 years, not visiting Israel once, opening dissing Netanyahu, and selling Israel down the river with his ’67 borders remarks. But he sure did have time to court the arab world numerous times… He’s the phony, not to mention all the ways he messed up our great country and it’s economy! The man is useless.
All Romney has to say is that he will free Pollard. Then all the people who seem to want this very important settlement to take place will vote to elect Mr. Romney. Its a fool proof plan. But we might all be fools.
Last Republican in the White House was too busy lip kissing Saudi princes to kiss up to the rest of the Arab world.
Typical republican way of trying to play with jewish feelings…..and some of us fall for it.
Obama has not changed any policy towards israel……bush was the first president who ever mentioned a two state solution in a state of the union speech….and refused to sell bunker buster bombs to israel cause he didn’t want them to have a weapon to use against iran…..
Obama has increased the amount of aid the u s gives to israel….he has given them bunker busters bombs……(That they can now use in iran)…he has signed a contract selling F-35 fighter jets that can fly in there with the latest technology….
He has vetoed every resolution against israel in the U.N. Including the one to create a Palestinian state.
But to some jews its all about listening to rush hannity beck and any right wing christian who plays the game as if they love us…
Does Romney recognize Jerusalem as its capital, will he move the embassy?
