Even Israelis know Mitt's subservient to them.

There's lots of humor to be had in this piece in Haaretz.
"American Presidential Candidate Syndrome is a disease that has afflicted every Israeli government, as well as Israeli society as a whole. The symptoms of this syndrome are well known, and like a chronic ulcer, they recur every four years."
"...a checklist dictating a list of conditions that the presidential candidate must satisfy if he wishes to earn the Israeli public's support. So far, Romney has met them all."
"A trip to Israel? Check. Contempt for the Palestinians? Check. A pledge to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem? Check. Admiration for Jewish genes? Check. Nary a word about the occupation? Check. Support for an attack on Iran? Absolutely."
"In the best-case scenario, [Mitt] knows that this is a crazy country, so one can't tell the truth to its face. In the more realistic scenario, he is afflicted with that same syndrome, which drove him to come to Israel to touch holiness."
It is an absolute imperative that you read the whole article.  If you're not laughing by the end of that opinion piece in Haaretz, either you don't have a funny bone in your body or you might be too partisan to laugh.
