Romney Palestine Culture Flip-Flop

"...Monday he [Mitt Romney] gave a speech in which he very clearly said that Israel's economic success relative to the Palestinians came down to "culture." It turns out, we later learn, that he said exactly this in a 2010 book. So it's not something that just flew out of his mouth. Tuesday morning, he sat down for an interview with Fox's Carl Cameron, who actually asked him tough questions about it. Romney then, as we know, denied that he'd spoken of culture!..".* Cenk Uygur and Ben Mankiewicz discuss on The Young Turks.

Can you give me a definition of a jew? Is Bill Maher, for example (an atheist who was raised catholic but his mother was jewish), a jew? Also, are you actually trying to say all jews have the same political goals? Really? Murray Rothbard and Tim Geithner have the same views on the economy? Norman Finkelstein and Alan Dershowitz agree on the Israel-Palestine conflict? Noam Chomsky and Paul Wolfowitz agree on US foreign policy?

speaking of culture , anyone here has been to Israel ?

- Hummus , falafel and Kabab resturants are all over the country

- Dabke and belly dance are Israelis favourite dances

- Israeli Soldiers Raid on a Tulkarem cafes to buy a hookah ( google it )

- half of people in Israel do speak Arabic and even they curse each other in Arabic ( search for video " Natalie portman speaks Arabic " )

so what mitt the twitt meant by saying Israeli culture is superior ? since when economy is culture ?

Again go read history from a non Zionists source. Arabs invaded Palestine 7th century but there were people there, us. Arabs did not invade and over take an empty land. Arab language was imposed on Palestinians but NOT RACE. How would you know you're an American.

The term "Palestine was invented by the Romans" The modern day Palestinians emigrated from the Arabian peninsula in the 7th century.

Try reading history from legitimate sources. Just because people were under a justification does not make them all from the same origin. Palestine was once under Roman, Greek, Persian, British and many more. Does not make them Romans, Greeks, etc. Palestinians are not Arab racially, but probably 10-15% are. .
