The Arkansan, who is widely expected to seek the presidency again, in 2012, visited sites heavily weighted toward one side in the Middle East conflict: Israeli homes in predominantly Arab neighborhoods of East Jerusalem and Israeli settlements on the West Bank, including an outpost considered illegal even by the current Israeli government.

Born in Saudi Arabia to a Peruvian mother and a South Arkansan father in the oil business, he attended high school in Dubai. His brief spates in the U.S.—to visit family in the south, or after being evacuated during the first Gulf War—didn’t do much to create roots. Maybe that’s why O’Mary took so well to the campaign...
