Barack Obama, who in a recent trip to Israeli said their nation was a 'miracle', has convinced Arabs and Iranians he will put Jewish interests first if he becomes U.S. president, leading many Arabs to say 'tell me something I don’t know.' 

When it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, many in the region believe, Obama would display the same bias in favor of the Jewish state that they now expect from any White House occupant - even one with a Muslim name and African roots. 

'There will be minor changes if Obama is elected, but he will never side with the Palestinians against the Israelis. He knows he can't afford that,' said Lana Bazzi, 20, a student in Beirut, citing the power of the Jewish lobby in America. 

Obama declared last month that Jerusalem must be Israel's undivided capital, infuriating Palestinians who demand the Arab east of the city as the capital of a future Palestinian state.
