Speaking as a Jew, I find it refreshing to hear a politician refusing to blindly support the Israeli government policies which have so effectively handed control over the Palestinian Territories to Hamas and have all but resurrected Hezbollah from the dead in Lebanon.

The last thing we need now is another politician who is incapable of telling the difference between the pro-negotiation opinions held by the majority of Jews and the right-wing policies of a minority of neoconservative Jews.

Obama got my vote.
