Yes, it would. >From Politico: Obama has explicitly rejected any moral equivalence between the two side of the conflict. He has made his support for Israel's government abundantly clear, and even voted for a resolution in support of the recent Israeli invasion of Lebanon. He has "a strong record of support" for Israel, said Lee Rosenberg, a member of AIPAC's board of directors. "I attribute those doubts [in the Jewish community] to the fact that he is a relative newcomer and that his views are not widely known," said Alan Solow, an Obama supporter who is prominent in Chicago's Jewish community. "I also attribute it to the fact that he is an opponent of the war in Iraq and there are some members of the Jewish community who feel that aggressive support of the war in Iraq is somehow related to being pro-Israel." "The views that Senator Obama has expressed and the votes he's made are totally consistent with every position that he's ever expressed with me and they date back to the very, very early days when he was thinking about running for the U.S. Senate," said Solow.
