Haven’t we heard this from each succeeding US administration? Don’t we hear this from Republican presidential candidate John McCain and the two major Democratic candidates? But isn’t it true that once each succeeding administration came to power, from Carter right on forward to the waning days of the George W. Bush presidency, they each whistled a different tune from their campaign promises? And don’t successive Israeli governments, upon hearing each one of these repeated pledges not to pressure Israel, herald each pledge as a great step forward, as if never heard before? One who has a shekel for each time the statement “we will never pressure Israel over security” is uttered would be wealthy indeed.
