Israel and McCain
AIPAC, the U.S. pro-Israel lobby, is organizing the 400,000 American citizens living in Israel to vote for John McCain via absentee ballot.
Why do I have to learn about this by reading the Israeli press?
Why is there no mention of this in the U.S. press?

3. Bronfman endorses 'tough idealist' Obama
Barack Obama gained the support of one of the Jewish world's most prominent leaders Friday, when Canadian philanthropist Edgar M. Bronfman gave the Democratic presidential candidate his endorsement.

In a column on the Huffingtonpost, Bronfman asserted that Obama is the candidate who will act in the best interest of Israel. Of Obama's Republican rival, the philanthropist said: "As an American Jew who loves Israel, I cannot support John McCain."

Bronfman, a former head of the World Jewish Congress, wrote in the piece titled "Israel's Best Interest is a Morally Strong America" that an honest broker was needed to push Israelis and Palestinians toward a two-state solution.

5. I thought polling of voters in Israel leaned Obama?
Zogby did one, I think.
