Any Arab who thinks that Obama will be good for Palestine deserves to have a shoe thrown at him/her--and you know the significance of shoes in Arab culture: ""I'll do everything in my power to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Everything," Obama told the pro-Israel lobby at a conference in Washington, only hours after securing his party's nomination. Later in the speech, which was frequently punctuated by the crowd's rapturous applause, he said: "I will always leave the threat of military action on the table to defend our security, and that of our ally Israel." The Illinois senator also vowed he would never compromise on Israel's security: "I will always stand up for Israel's right to defend itself in the united nations and around the world.""
