Well, my hope is that it's possible to be evenhanded within the context of the views described on that website. A commitment to Isreal and recognition of their right to defend themselves doesn't preclude a commitment to Palestine and recognition of the Palestinian people's right to defend themselves. It also doesn't necessarily mean supporting Isreal's destructive policies - like the announcement today of new 'settlements', and the various well-documented atrocities committed by Isreal. :-/
OTOH, I may be reading to much into it, and Obama will be just as bad as our recent past presidents in this regard. Ultimately, we can't fix Isreal and Palestine's problem...both sides have to simultaneously realize that the blood of their children is worth more than land.
