The presumptive GOP presidential nominee has stumbled in front of the microphones all across Europe—and the Middle East—over the past week, even to the point where one of his aides blew up at a pack of pesky reporters. Not that anyone can blame him for that.
And while it's easy to concede that maybe the Brits are a wee bit overly sensitive about their spot on the international stage right now, Romney's stop in Israel might have been his most newsworthy—and not necessarily for his comments riling up the Palestinians (and even a few Israelis).
(Editorial note: There's a reason I haven't written about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in my 20-year career: It's a minefield topic of race, religion and one bloody history. Which is also probably why no matter what Romney said during his trip to Israel, someone would find themselves offended by what he had to say. It's the geopolitical equivalent of a no-win situation.)
