Former 2008 Republican presidential hopeful, and possible 2012 contender Mitt Romney says he is very concerned by the Obama administration’s Mideast policy.  At a speech to the AIPAC national summit in San Diego he said, “In pursuit of a peace process, the United States today has exerted substantial pressure on Israel while putting almost no pressure on the Palestinians and the Arab world.”

“Inexplicably, the United States now places the burden on Israel to make still more unilateral concessions,” he said. “At the United Nations, we decried the building of new Israeli settlements but ignored the launching of Palestinian rockets. How is this possible? Have we not yet learned from the concessions in Gaza, as well as from all recorded history, that giving in to the demands of oppressors always and only leads to more demands, not to peace?"
