1. He says "Israel" in a lot of his speeches.
2. His supporters believe that the second coming of Christ can only occur when Israel, including the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, belongs to the Jews. Of course all the Jews who don't accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior will then be damned to Hell, but anyway. . .
3. He is hot-tempered and military-minded. He seems more likely to support aggressive Israeli defense efforts against their enemies.
However, we have another candidate in this race who openly and explicitly supports Israel. Another candidate who may not feel the same religious fervor to keep Israel in Jewish hands for the End of Days, but who understands the situation from a realistic perspective, and has every intention of supporting Israel. Here's why I believe Barack Obama can and will support Israel:
1. Barack Obama expressed his explicit and, what I believe to be his heartfelt support of Israel at the 2008 AIPAC conference. Here is his speech in its entirety:
2. Barack Obama has made his support of Israel clear to the media. He has said that Israel will have an "unwavering ally" in him. Watch him speak about America's "special relationship" with Israel on CNN here:
3. There is this idea that Obama thinks he can just talk his way into peace in the middle east. He understands this isn't the case. Watch that here:
4. Obama is not just talk. On Jan. 22, 2008, he sent the following letter to U.N. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad:
5. I have tried to find evidence of the rumored hypocrtical speech Obama gave to the Palestinian community. Besides evidence that he has some Palestinian and Muslim supporters, I can't find anything to support this idea that Obama is pandering to both sides. And I think Obama's focus on diplomacy alone would make him a more appealing choice to ANYONE in the global community, not just Muslims.
I invite anyone with any real evidence that Obama will not fully support Israel to leave a comment on this post.
