Getting named New York’s junior senator apparently requires pandering to those who support Israel’s right wing.

From Nick Confessore’s written [interview](http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/21/nyregion/21kennedy.html?hp) with Caroline Kennedy (and her staff) in the *New York Times*:

> Q. Do you believe that an undivided Jerusalem must be the national capital of the State of Israel? 
> A. Yes, Caroline believes that an undivided Jerusalem must be the national capital of the State of Israel.
