Obama's Islam success depends on Israel
US President Barack Obama's speech to Muslims also had a huge and attentive Jewish audience, attuned to any suggestion that he might soften US support for Israel or ease up with Iran at the expense of the Jewish state. His careful words illustrate the constraints posed by Obama's political obligations as he tries to reinvigorate America's honest-broker status in the Islamic world. The president's address in Cairo was a long-promised dissertation on the painful history of the US relationship with Muslims,the misunderstandings and missteps that fill an ocean of suspicion and ill will on both sides.
