McCain's Policies Favor Israel
Ron Ben-Yishai, Ynetnews | September 30, 2008
McCain's perception of the Middle East conflict deems Israel a critical ally. ++ McCain accepts the military facet of the conflict, while Obama considers diplomacy the tool to triumph over a minority of Islamic extremists. ++ The root cause of Islamic terrorism is also disputed: McCain believes it is an ideological conflict, and Obama assumes that it is driven by poverty and despair. ++ Obama regards the Israel-Palestinian conflict as key to pacifying the Middle East - and he prefers pressuring Israel to make concessions.
