• In Mitt Romney's opinion amidst the many critical
challenges that America faces today, the threat of violent and
radical Jihad and the threat of nuclear proliferation stand at
the top.

• Romney cites the former President Jimmy Carter's view
with regard to bringing peace to the Holy Land and thinks the
opposite.  According to him, it is only helping to prevent terror
and bloodshed and violence.

• Romney quotes. "State taxpayers should not be providing
special treatment to an individual who supports violent jihad and
the destruction of Israel." 

• Romney fears that radical Islam has one goal; to replace
all Islamic states in the world under one caliphate and convert
the non-believers of Islam forcibly, if necessary, to Islam. He
says that this plan is more irrational than the Nazi Germany
policies of the 1930s and Stalin?s Cold War or the 1940s. 

• Mitt Romney has committed that he would defeat the
jihadists all around the world.  Most of his speeches however
focus on restricting Iran rather than making decisions to resolve
the tension between Israel and Palestine.

• Romney requested the Arab states to stop providing
weapons and financial support to Hezbollah and Hamas and instead
to put pressure on the Palestinians to "drop terrorism and
recognize Israel's right to exist."

• Mitt Romney strongly supports the security wall that
divides Israel from the West Bank.
		

• Barack Obama states that the only way for Israel to
achieve peace with their neighbors is to "begin with a clear and
strong commitment to the security of Israel".

• Obama criticized those who denied the Holocaust, yet he
supports talks with the Iranian President Ahmadinejad, who also
denies the holocaust and eventually promises that a new one would
come.

• Obama has praised past Israeli leaders for their kind
gestures of peace towards Palestinians but refused to recognize
their earlier attempts that led to violence and death of
Israelis.

• Barack Obama mentions that he is in support of
resumption of the aid to the Palestinian government with a
condition that the government 'renounces terrorism'. 

• Obama opines thus, "Nobody is suffering more than the
Palestinian people." He has declared recently in his speech ?our
enemies are not just terrorists, it's not just Hezbollah, it's
not just Hamas, and it?s also cynicism." 

• Obama contends that there is a need to preserve Israel
as a Jewish state though it has its politicians and its security
as well.

• With regard to the security of Israel Barack Obama
stated, "you will not see, under my presidency, any slackening in
commitment to Israel?s security."

• Obama stood strong with regard to Israel's right to
defend itself from the rocket attacks and raids of Hezbollah.

• He hates characterization and rejects the term apartheid
in any discussion with regard to Israel's progress.
