Mitt Romney’s addressing the Republican Jewish Coalition, where he had the following to say about President Obama’s addresses to the United Nations:

“The President chastised israel but had almost nothing to say about Hamas laching thousands of rockets into israel sky.”

In fact, even in just his most recent UN address on September 21, 2011, President Obama said the following:

Let us be honest with ourselves: Israel is surrounded by neighbors that have waged repeated wars against it. Israel’s citizens have been killed by rockets fired at their houses and suicide bombs on their buses. Israel’s children come of age knowing that throughout the region, other children are taught to hate them. Israel, a small country of less than eight million people, look out at a world where leaders of much larger nations threaten to wipe it off of the map. The Jewish people carry the burden of centuries of exile and persecution, and fresh memories of knowing that six million people were killed simply because of who they are. Those are facts. They cannot be denied.
