Friends he does not need
Palestinians in the Gaza strip are phonebanking for Barack Obama. Presumably this is a rogue operation, at least as separate from the Obama campaign as, say, MoveOn.org, but still. Not helpful.

I think Barack has already conceded the pro-Zionist bloc to Hillary in the primaries, but he will need to figure out how to accomodate this in the general election or risk losing a key source of support in states he must win like New York and New Jersey. I have, however, seen lots of Obama signs in Highland Park so who knows?
We further observe that Joe Lieberman will probably not be available this time around to even out the ticket...

I wonder who Palestinians think might best aid them in their plight?
Will John McCain consider the civilian Palestinians who desire peace? Will he return America to honest broker status? Of course not.
Barack Obama's foreign policy is about bringing negotiation and diplomacy to bear instead of waving our big stick and telling everyone to do what we say.

First of all, "Barack Obama's foreign policy is" is a lie. There is no 'Is.' He's never had anything to do with foreign policy, and he certainly doesn't now, which is good for all of us considering that's he's an incompetent amateur at it. Witness point #2.
Secondly, you've apparently forgotten this little gem.

First paragraph: "Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama issued a pointed warning yesterday to Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, saying that as president he would be prepared to order U.S. troops into that country unilaterally if it failed to act on its own against Islamic extremists."
So much for negotiation with the Pakistanis, hmm? 'If you don't do what we want, we'll just ignore your sovereignty and do what *we* want to do!"
But this is the same guy who wants to meet with Iran's president and negotiate with the homicidal death cult otherwise known as Hamas.
Therefore: Be a bloodthirsty terrorist bastard, and the American president will meet with and negotiate with you about your 'grievances.' But if you're an embattled friendly head of state who trying to ride the tiger of holding down Islamist revolutionaries and please your US friends at the same time, you're just screwed unless you put our interests ahead of your own.
He also recently demonstrated his belief that Afghanis speak Arabic.
If he gets elected, foreign leaders are going to eat him alive.
