Some in the American Jewish community are raising questions about Barack Obama's commitment to the state of Israel, questions that are being exploited by his political opponents.  The Republican Jewish Coalition has sponsored newspaper ads accusing Obama of "dangerously naïve foreign policy thinking" when it comes to the Middle East. On May 22, 2008, Obama held a town hall meeting at the B'nai Torah Congregation, a synagogue in Boca Raton, Florida.  In these excerpts from his speech, Obama pledges an "unshakable commitment" to Israel and argues that the war in Iraq actually endangers Israel.
