At a breakfast fundraiser in Jerusalem Monday, Mitt Romney told about 40 donors—Sheldon Adelson among them—how spiritual his 36-hour trip to Israel had been. “I come to this place, therefore, with a sense of profound humility, as I look around here at the great people who’ve accomplished a great thing, and also a sense of spiritual connection, acknowledging the hand of providence in establishing this place and making it a holy city,” the presidential hopeful said. Romney expected to garner more than $1 million in donations at this Monday-morning gathering, as guests—all U.S. citizens—were required to either raise or donate between $25,000 and $50,000 to get a seat at the table. The day before, Mitt went against U.S. policy and referred to Jerusalem, instead of Tel Aviv, as the capital of Israel and declared containing Iran’s nuclear capabilities the U.S.’s “highest national security priority.”
