Obama: Distressingly Pro-Israel?

18 Nov 2008 08:28 am

Ali Abunimah thinks so (with a couple of caveats):

Obama's positions are remarkable only for their conformity with long-standing U.S. policies. As Obama told AIPAC in June, "I have been proud to be a part of a strong bipartisan consensus that has stood by Israel in the face of all threats. That is a commitment...both [Senator] John McCain and I share because support for Israel in this country goes beyond party."11
