Presidential hopeful John McCain visited the rocket-battered Israeli city of Sderot today. He was accompanied by Senators Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham.

John McCain has a much deeper understanding of the current and historical Israeli/Palestine conflict than the current President. His friendship with Mr. Lieberman is also a good sign, as Lieberman (who is Jewish) is a staunch supporter of Israel.

Very promising, Mr. McCain stated that:

“I support Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.”

He also spoke on Iran’s involvement in the region, assuring Israel that Iran was not merely an Israeli problem, stating that:

The combination of terror, nuclear capability and irresponsible leadership is a danger to the entire world. Even the region’s Arab states fear Iran, and they need to say so out loud.

While far from the most “conservative” GOP choice, McCain is a solid backer of Israel and the War on Terror. While Mrs. Clinton is also known for her support of Israel, and Mr. Obama claims to be, McCain is far more educated and involved in the Zionist struggle, and will prove to be the candidate that Iran and the many terrorist organizations funded by Iran will fear the most, should he be elected.

Kain's major subjects of focus at NeoConstant are international strategy; support of Israel; the failure of the international community to stop genocide; the spread of American power and democracy; historical analysis; and current events both domestically and abroad.
