I would like to Know what the candidates opinions are on the middle east like the Palestaines and Israel and all the effects of Hamas and Gaza and the daily rocket that Israel claims they are sending?

Thank You

We are spending time discussing important issues like bowling scores and flag pins.

The only candidate whose position I am familiar with would be Ron Paul's. He would end American aid and involvement in the conflict.

Obama has said he would talk to Hamas. He would continue aid to Israel.

McCain, I believe, would continue Bush's policy; unmitigated support for Israel and they can do what they want to the Palestinians.

I don't know about Clinton other than she says she'd obliterate Iran if they nuked Israel.

I'd like to know also. I think it's time to really look at the effects of not only the blockade on Palestine, but the horrible wall and the devastation it's caused.

I think this should be what we should be discussing instead of whether or not someone is putting their flag pin on or whether they go to the right church or if they pledge the flag the right way. Things that will directly affect each and every one of us and our children's future. Policies and views. In twenty years, it won't matter if Obama wore a flag pin but it might matter if he thought that my child needed to have health insurance and he had a plan to do it that I might like or if Mrs, Clinton had a plan to get my baby out of Iraq for good and bring peace. I know that John McCain has stated that he will keep us going pretty much like we are right now with the present administration which I am not impressed with so I am also interested in what the thoughts are for all of the rest of the candidates are......shouldn't that be what we are voting on?
