Barack Obama went out of his way in Israel today to reassure them and the Jewish vote at home that he is committed to Israel Security. I have yet to read a public comment that he will be a “honest broker” between Israel and Palestine.
Maureen Dowd wrote in the New York Times today that the King of Jordan was assured that Obama understands that he has to be seen as eager to protect Palestinians human rights as he is in assuring Israel protection. Additionally, unlike McCain's visit to the region, Obama did travel to the West Bank to meet with Palestinian leaders. However, Obama should be as public about Palestinian concerns as he is about Israel’s security. They are not mutually exclusive
