Former US vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin disagrees with the Obama administration's demand that Israel halt settlement construction, although her reason for that opinion is puzzling to some (or at the least demonstrates she's not familiar with the term "natural growth" that much of the debate has revolved around). Palin debates Biden in St....
She told Barbara Walters on ABC's Good Morning America this week that she disagrees with the White House because all the Jews moving to Israel need a place to live.
"I disagree with the Obama administration on that," Palin told Walters. "I believe that the Jewish settlements should be allowed to be expanded upon, because that population of Israel is, is going to grow. More and more Jewish people will be flocking to Israel in the days and weeks and months ahead. And I don't think that the Obama administration has any right to tell Israel that the Jewish settlements cannot expand."

Ah, good to see the newbie reveal his / her true self....
Freedom of religion is doing just fine in Israel....
Islam being wrong doesn’t make Israel right.
Too many Christians do exactly that while claiming a religious basis for doing so.
That is doubly weird.
“But Jews are sort of the canary in the coal mine. If they turn from the dems even in small numbers, it means others are turning from them in much larger numbers.”
It’s not weird at all for Christians to support a country defined by a religion that Jesus Christ was - by design - born in to.
You are doubly weird.
Alright. If she continues to voice that opinion on Israel loud, clear, with honesty and no capitulation or vagueness until the election and also expresses and clear desire to replace the chiefs of staff with real men (Army, pro-Isreal and definitely pro-defense), then I might vote for her. ...but only if she doesn’t cave in to the usual import business and government employee interests wanting low freight fuel prices, anti-family policies and dirty foreign trade deals against our defense interests.
I would rather see a certainly pro-Israel voting record, though.
Early Americans came to get away from the anti-Israel religion of Europe. George Washington was rather friendly with early American Jewish settlements. ...Puritans and Huguenots who came with them, too.
...matter of fact, our Nation (the USA) has been degraded, off and on, since the middle of the 1800s, when those anti-Israel Europeans began moving here in excess numbers.
Cool list.
Worth noting that you suggested I put forth Statement X, and then you responded to Statement X...
...which I never made and do not plan to make.
Rail against scarecrows of your own creation much?
And then, as noted, rejected by.
That is an intriguing re-write of history.
Any specific tracking of the degradation to which you allude?
Well, I have a history of anti-moslem posts.
And I’m so proud, I’m going to celebrate with a bacon sandwich.
The Israelis understand that Omoslem is a Jihadist posing as an American.
And with the KSM debacle, the USA is about to understand Omoslem’s true allegiance to Mecca.
That's odd, since you wrote of the (unfortunately) secular modern state of Israel "Why support a country defined by a religion which rejects Christ?" Judaism is in no way defined by Jesus. He was one of many false messianic claimants of no more value than Sabbatai Zvi or Jacob Frank, except in so far as Christianity has defined the West. And Israel is as much part of the West as Rome, Athens, and the US. But, it certainly is not Christian. Sadly, I would argue taht most of Europe is post-Christian. What country do you support other than Vatican City?
Are you clear on the full meaning of the phrase "no surprise" as applied here?
You reflexively generated graphic ugliness, per the post to which this is a reply.
Color me unshocked that you revert to form so rapidly.
