The scenario outlined here is a possible one. But there are many other scenarios in which the United States can turn against Israel. These include political confrontations at the U.N. and various possible kinds of military confrontations. Clearly the instinctive reaction of John McCain, based on all we know, is in terms of Israel's well- being more likely to be appropriate than is the instinctive reaction of Barack Obama. However as it appears now the candidate three quarters of Israeli Jews voted for is not going to be elected. And we will have to live with a candidate who has shown himself to be rational, balanced, capable of listening to and understanding diverse opinions, very ordered and controlling- but not with real instinctive, heartfelt connection to Israel. There is reason to worry. The description of the present situation is to my mind accurate.
