By saying Israel was more economically successful because of their culture he was using an age old stereotype of Jews. So it was racist against Jews. It was also racist against Palestinians because he basically said they were inferior to Jews.

I wasn't saying Jews were good with money
Romney did

If you are offended by what I.said you totally misunderstood. Sorry of that was my fault. But other Jewish DUers understood my.post perfectly.
