The following is a statement from the Romney Campaign:

President Obama, in New York to raise campaign cash, told a group of prospective donors that �We don�t compromise when it comes to Israel�s security.� That would be great news, if it were true.

Unfortunately, under the Obama Administration, U.S.-Israeli relations have hit a low not seen since the Jimmy Carter years. It is not merely the way that President Obama has disparaged Israel�s prime minister in public and private. U.S. policy itself is at issue. Whether the question is peace talks with the Palestinians, or defining Israel�s borders, or keeping Iran from getting nuclear weapons, the administration has repeatedly scanted Israel�s interests. Words uttered behind closed doors in a campaign fundraiser in New York are one thing. Actions that have repeatedly thrown Israel under the bus are another.
