Question #2

How would you grapple with Iran's nuclear drive?

Israel-US ties

In the run-up to the 2008 US presidential elections, The Jerusalem Post Internet Edition JPost.com has invited central presidential contenders to respond to questions on matters of importance to Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world.

We will be sending out questions to the candidates every two weeks or so. We started out with a relatively general inquiry about the importance they attach to the US's strategic alliance with Israel and how, if elected, they would work to foster that alliance (see below). The questions will get more specific as the campaign heats up.

 

Question #1
What's the importance of Israel as a strategic ally and how would your administration manage ties between the two countries?

Daniel Barras, Ft. Campbell, TN, USA: I believe we need to aid our allies, and I believe our greatest allie in the east is Israel!
Sonia, S.C. USA: I hear that many Rabbi's in Florida were advising their members to vote McCain cause they know Obama doesn't stand with Israel. It's scarey to see what is unfolding right in front of me. Jessie Jackson tired to warn everyone, but no one wanted to hear it. And they shut him up. If you do anything this jewish new year please vote for McCain
Marie Devine, Kansas City, MO, USA: God hates His people seeking protection from other nations. He is the power, see Leviticus 26. Man, nations and weapons cannot save us, only obedience and love for God. In 1993 Rabin leaned on President Clinton and Arafat and saw Isaiah 28:11-29. I gave the report showing God's deliverance.. The best defense for Israel is obeying God's word according to His covenant. Laws of God include "That which you sow you shall reap" and "That which you fear shall come upon you." Fear the enemy, desire weapons, you will use them. Choose God. The way is prepared to have war become only a dream.
