After reading statements and articles about two of the primary candidates for US president, it is honestly not clear to me that either one is going to be particularly good for the Jews (of Israel).

Both have ill-advisedly surrounded themselves with advisors who (to state it gently) do not have a very pro-Israel position/history.

Past statements from Obama seems to have a Palestinian tilt, while McCain has shown himself to be completely ignorant on the most current and publicized flare-ups in the latest US-Israel crisis, which leads him to be overly susceptable to influence by his policy advisors.

(And wasn't 8 years of Clinton's interfering with Israel loving bear hugs enough for all of us?)

On the flip side, Rice certainly joined the dark side and is dragging Bush down that road with her.

TOugh choices ahead.
