Quote:US presidential hopeful Barack Obama is a full Israel supporter and could breathe new life in Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, Sen. John Kerry says.

"He is a 100 percent supporter of Israel, and he is committed to Israel in all the ways that all of us are," Kerry said on Monday.

The Massachusetts Senator also tried to counter concerns expressed by some American Jews that Obama would not support Israel if he is elected president.

"This is a man who has been in a minority status in his life, a man who understands what discrimination and even persecution can be and I think he has a really deep personal understanding of what Jewish history is,'' Kerry told The Associated Press.

"He understands the emotional, cultural, historical, political, strategic connection and I think he honors that,'' he added.

Kerry has been a strong and vocal backer of Obama's 2008 campaign.

Kerry lost to President George W. Bush in a closely contested election in 2004.
