Is it traditional for a presidential candidate to pledge allegiance to the defence of Israel?
After hearing Obama on his FIRST DAY as the presumptive candidate promise to defend and protect Israel, I was just wondering.

Were there any pledges made to the Palestinians?

6. It's one of those things they inherit along with all the careerists
in the State Department. You know, Israel good, Cuba bad, blah blah blah.
