Are Obama And McCain The Same On Israel?

They say that the stands taken by Clinton, Obama, and McCain on Israel are basically identical.

Obama advisor Dan Kurtzer has said that it:

“will be impossible to make progress on serious peace talks without putting the future of Jerusalem on the table.”

But in response to a question from Jennifer Rubin of Contentions whether Obama's stand was “identical” to McCain’s, McCain foreign policy adviser Randy Scheunemann said:

It is revealing that Senator Obama’s Middle East adviser is talking about the need for Israeli concessions on Jerusalem to be ‘on the table’ while making no reference to the need for Palestinians to meet basic roadmap obligations on countering terror and providing security. Senator McCain is not going to pressure Israel into making concessions that undermine its security.

Of course this is all just talk, but McCain comes across as more believable in his concern for Israel's security.

At least John McCain does--but would President McCain?
