Using Romney's own logic...Qatar, Kuwait and the UAE all have better cultures than Israel.

Romney says the Israelis have a better culture than the Palestinians because of their "economic vitality" and higher GDP per capita.

Well Qatar, Kuwait and the UAE all have higher GDP per capita than Israel.

Will Romney say those countries have better cultures than Israel? Of course he won't. Romney was just trolling. He was being a racist asshole and insulting the Palestinians while pandering for campaign cash.

...he's basically saying, like most dominionist, that there's something innate about a person that qualifies them to be economically vital.

There's no doubt that he applies this logic in other categories
