GOP Urges Romney to Visit Israel

**William Gayley Simpson** · 05-14-2012

This sounds like a tacit admission that Israel either controls our (establishment) foreign policy or our electoral process, or both! Thank goodness for our Ron Paul Revolution's political insurgency to take back the Republican party from the ground up.

GOP: Romney can shame Obama, boost foreign policy credentials with Israel trip

Mitt Romney should visit Israel soon, Republican lawmakers say, claiming that such a trip would highlight the fact that President Obama has not been there during his first term.

Congressional Republicans told The Hill that there would be many benefits for Romney should he go to Israel, explaining that it would both advance U.S.-Israeli relations and help him politically.

“It would be a good visit for him,” said National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (Texas).

Romney, who has a decades-old friendship with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, has promised that Israel would be his first foreign trip as president. He has slammed Obama for “throwing Israel under the bus,” and when Netanyahu’s father died two weeks ago, his campaign made a point to send out a public letter extending his condolences.

Obama visited Israel in 2008 while he was a presidential candidate but has not been back since. He has been to 30 countries, so far, as commander-in-chief, including Ghana, Ireland and El Salvador.

That Israel, it's lobby group AIPAC, and the numerous 'Think Tanks' and advisor's have considerable influence, if not control, over most of our foreign policy in the region should be obvious to everyone.

If a candidate isn't pro-Israel to some degree, they can pretty much forget getting the nomination of either one of the main parties in Washington. And what's really disturbing, is that for millions of American citizens, especially Zionist Christians, this is perfectly fine with them!

Contrary to what most of these people think, Israel is not our ally in that part of the world, no more than than the rest of the surrounding nations. All of them are concerned with putting the interest of their countries 'first', which is exactly what the United States should be doing.

Except for Ron Paul and his son, every member of Congress is in the pocket of Israel and its lobby AIPAC! This make them 'traitors' to the Revolution of 1776 and why they should all be booted out of Washington!
