Obama's promise to the Jews
It is no secret the large role the Jewish lobby in every U.S. presidential election. So anyone who wants to become president in Uncle Sam's country, must show commitment and full support against the illegal existence of the state of Israel. Not with the exception of Obama and panda, the two U.S. presidential candidates, the election yesterday. Both fight each other to get sympathy from the U.S. Jewish community and of course the lobby-Jewish lobby in the country. But Obama was considered by the more charismatic among Jewish voters in the U.S. compared panda.
A number of surveys conducted during the ongoing campaign shows a majority of Jewish support for Obama in the U.S.. Israeli Ynet website data, for example, stated that 78 percent of voters among U.S. Jews support Obama and only in 21 percent of Jewish voters who vote for the panda in the presidential election yesterday.
Mccain campaign that will move the state office of the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem not too interesting Jewish public, who still vote on the Obama took himself as the "True Friends of Israel" and promise that policy-later policy will not harm Israel, and will guarantee security Israel.
"Jews are always to see whether the candidate-candidate presidential sympathy in the U.S. as a Jew. Jews who feel Obama more liberal pro-Israel Jews who were conservative," said Professor Steven Cohen, professor of Jewish Social Policy from Hebrew Union College.
Jewish support in the U.S. Obama is not the purpose of their existence to keep the country illegally in Israel who stand on land owned by the nation of Palestine. Related to this, James Reuben, which had become a foreign adviser and former president Bill Clinton said, there is confidence that are embedded in the Jewish community that, if the U.S. is weak then Israel is also weak and if the U.S. respected Israel will also be respected. In this case, the Jewish public to see Obama as a strong figure and popular not only in the eyes of the U.S. public but also in the eyes of the world.
U.S. Jewish community increasingly confident Obama will be committed against Israel, because in the Obama campaign visit many synagogues and Jewish communities, synagogues. Moreover, in 2006, Obama had visited Israel to visit family and Israel destroyed their houses due to Katyusha rocket attacks. A month later, when broken Hizbullah-Israel war, with Obama firmly said that Israel have the right to defend themselves.
Other factors that make it conform to the Jewish public in Obama Obama is the attitude of the fighter group Hamas in Palestine. Obama will declare teeth firmly against Hamas until Hamas would recognize the existence of Israel. Obama also blame Palestinian leaders it deems as a cause of the suffering people of Palestine.
These facts are sufficient to give rise to confidence that the policies Obama later related issues of Palestine will not be much different with the predecessor, President George W. Bush. The future Palestinian nation is still gloomy because the U.S. is still giving blind support of Israel and the Palestinian struggle to become independent state with its capital in Jerusalem, the more weight, because Obama had to say firmly that Jerusalem will become the capital of Israel.
Although in some states Obama will be the opportunity to be actively involved in efforts to the Arab-Israeli reconciliation and criticize Jewish settlement expansion by Israel, which call "not help" efforts for peace in Palestine. But statements so that only good manners, because in the end Obama said, "my interest in solving this problem, not only for Israel but also to U.S. interests."
