Barack Obama: "Nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people."

The Washington Note has a letter sent by over a hundred Iowa caucus participants to Barack Obama, encouraging him to continue his support for a Palestinian state, as well as a secure Israel.

The letter quotes Obama as saying, "nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people," which surprisingly has not been made into a bigger campaign issue. I still remember Joe "the schmuck" Lieberman going after Howard Dean in 2004 because he suggested the United States should be an unbiased arbitrator in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
