Alan Dershowitz, in the New York Daily News:
The one issue about which candidates McCain, Obama, Palin and Biden seem to agree is Israel. During the debates each candidate has gone out of his and her way to emphasize strong support for Israel as an American ally and a bastion of democracy in a dangerous neighborhood. They have also all expressed support for Israel's right to defend itself against the nuclear threat posed by Iran, which has sworn to wipe Israel off the map.But I don't know, I know of at least a few conservative bloggers who believe with 100% faith that an Obama presidency will lead to a second Holocaust. Posted by Stephen Silver at October 19, 2008 10:02 PMThere may be some difference in nuance among the candidates, especially with regard to negotiations with Iran. But supporters of Israel should not base their voting decision on which party or which candidates support Israel more enthusiastically. They should vote based on more general considerations about what is best for America, the world and the values that they hold dear. In the United States, Israel is not a divisive issue, and voting for President is not a referendum on support for Israel, at least among the major parties.
