BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) - Barack Obama is promising an "unshakable commitment" to Israel if he is elected president. The Illinois senator also says he hopes his presidency would help improve strained relations between American black and Jewish communities.

The Illinois senator was speaking a town hall meeting at a synagogue in Florida on Thursday.

Democratic presidential candidates didn't campaign in Florida during the primary, but Obama is focusing on the state now that he's close to wrapping up the nomination.

Some Jewish voters are turned off by his willingness to negotiate with countries like Iran and Syria. Others reject Obama because of e-mails spreading false rumors about him.

Obama stresses that he wouldn't negotiate with the militant Palestinian group Hamas.

This is only right, since the Os promise unshakable support for him.

"This is only right, since the Os promise unshakable support for him."

I don't like this posture, but I understand it. Barack Obama, or anyone else who realistically seeks to be POTUS has to deal with the political land mines that come with the territory.

You hate that, I hate that, but it is a fact of life currently that Obama's lack of support for the proxy war in Iraq the neocons started to advance policy goals of the Israelis and them scares the piss out of Israeli firsters.

I am not going to condemn him for navigating through these explosive waters, but I will be one of many people putting the pressure on to back away from Israel when he becomes president. Just as many Zionists will never back him as they see the same thing I do; someone who would be willing to re-evaluate and change our toxic relationship with the Jewish state in the Middle East.

That scares the piss out of them.

There is a lot of necessary probing to be done of Mr Obama's foreign policy positions. His inexperience is a legitimate cause for concern. The primaries have shown he can stumble. But overall he has grasped the ineluctable, if uncomfortable, insight that to secure its interests the US will henceforth need allies and legitimacy.

When Mr McCain looks out at the world, his gaze alights instinctively on his country's enemies. But the same world is replete with allies, actual and potential. Mr Obama cannot afford to ignore the enemies, but he is right to think as much about how to mobilise America's friends.

Mr Obama describes the world as it is; Mr McCain as it seemed to be during that fleeting unipolar moment. America's voters will decide in November through which of these lenses they prefer to look.

Op ed in today's Financial Times.

Obama not only sees the world foreign policy as it is, he also sees the world of U.S. electoral politics as it is.

John Kennedy ran for the presidency in 1960 as a Cold War hard-liner.
