I'm guessing that more or less everyone will pay lip service.
Giuliani does not pay lip service, he has been pro-Israel all throughout his career, wayyyy before he decided to run. What has Obama done or said about Israel before he decided he was running? Don't be ridiculous, you cannot compare their records on Israel and the Jews.
The statements you included are what the current administration is saying anyway, so no new news there. The Bush administration, on Colin Powell's advice, was pressuring Israel a lot after 9/11 to deal with the Palestinians (although he did not roll out the red carpet treatment for Arafat as Clinton did). However, he realized they were a bunch of thugs and terrorists on the other side and there was no reason to pressure Israel to deal with them, especially after their behavior post-disengagement. They still say they stand behind the "2 state solution" but they in recent years they have not asked Israel to lift those heavy stones or make more suicidal sacrifices...
