Ginny,

It is interesting about Israeli/U.S relations.. I always say that they pretty much have their way with the U.S. I heard an Israeli government official being asked on NPR if they were concerned about which candidate wins the U.S elections and the effect this may have on U.S/Israeli relations. His answer?
It does not matter who wins because the relationship will remain unaffected.
How about that?

Regarding Obama, I really, really like him, he gives me a sense of hope in the 
olitical process
hat I've not felt in a long itme.  However, someone alerted me to a statement 
f his regarding
he blockade of the Gaza strip, soemthing along the lines of "this must be done 
o protect
sraelis security, and if Hamas would just stop what theyr'e doing", etc., etc.  
erhaps I can
ind the statement and post it here, but I was extremely disppointed int his 
tance!
Perhaps I shoudl have expected as much as if anyone wants to be successful 
oltically,  then it
eems they must tow the party line regarding Israel itseems.

f the deprivation of food, electricity, fuel, and other basic necessities were 
appening anywhere
lse, the international outcry woudl be deafening!  Say, perhaps if the Muslims 
ere doing the
lockading etc., there wouldn't be just international diplomatic pressure but 
he military
ressure to back it up.
*sigh* but anyway...
Ginny
