FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Mr Romney left it to aides to ram home the message that he would pursue a
foreign policy more closely aligned to the Jewish state’s interests.
“If Israel has to take action on its own, in order to stop Iran from
developing the capability, the governor would respect that decision,”said
Dan Señor, Mr Romney’s senior national security aide.
Mr Romney deftly suggested that Mr Obama was naive in his handling of the
Iranian nuclear threat. “When Iran’s leaders deny the Holocaust or speak of
wiping this nation off the map, only the naive – or worse – will dismiss it
as an excess of rhetoric,” he said.
“Make no mistake: the ayatollahs in Tehran are testing our moral defences.
They want to know who will object and who will look the other way. My
message to the people of Israel and the leaders of Iran is one and the same:
I will not look away, and neither will my country.”
Although Mr Romney has frequently criticised Mr Obama’s approach to both
Israel and Iran, his proposed foreign policy has so far differed more by
degree than substance.
But his support for Israel’s self-proclaimed right to defend itself amounted
to a significant point of departure with the president that was guaranteed
to please Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s hawkish prime minister, who told Mr
Romney it was important to have a credible military threat because sanctions
and diplomacy “so far have not set back the Iranian programme by one iota”.
Mr Obama has urged restraint and cautioned against “loose talk of war”, urging
Mr Netanyahu to give diplomacy and sanctions a chance to work.
Reeling from a hostile reception in London, prompted by his criticism of
preparations for the Olympics, Mr Romney flew into Jerusalem assured of a
far warmer welcome on the the second leg of his three-nation tour, which
takes him to Poland today. He and Mr Netanyahu have been acquaintances for
decades: they were colleagues at a Boston management consultancy. Meanwhile,
Mr Obama’s campaign team intensified its criticism of Mr Romney for his
errors in London.
“To go overseas, stand in the country of our strongest ally – and the Olympics
that they’ve been preparing years for – and question whether or not they’re
ready, does make you wonder whether or not he’s ready to be commander in
chief,” Robert Gibbs, a former White House press secretary, told ABC.
