“The 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee and former governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, landed in Ben-Gurion airport on Sunday afternoon for her first ever visit to Israel. “As the world confronts sweeping changes and new realities, I look forward to meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu to discuss the key issues facing his country, our ally Israel,” Palin said in a statement. Meanwhile Ynet has learned that US President Barack Obama may be planning a visit to Israel as well, this summer……”
Regardless of any diplomatic nonsense Sarah Palin may be saying, she is doing her I’s: India, Israel, Iran. The three that any US candidate must do to get elected. Sorry about the “Iran” slip, couldn’t help it. India is not required and is rarely done. Maybe she should try Ireland and Italy (the latter is more promising). Many Americans probably wish she’d do the Aliyah (העלייה) and remain in Israel: these are the Republicans I am talking about. Democrats are urging her: run, Sarah, run. She is their best chance to keep the White House and maybe regain Congress.
As for Obama, he should stay the hell out of Israel. He is probably more popular over there there than Ahmadinejad or Khamenei, but that ain’t saying much, is it? It is not safe for him.
