Sarah Palin Criticizes Obama over Israel Relations, Calls it 'Junior High Diplomacy'
All Media New York ^ | February 6, 2014 | Alex Mangini

Former Alaska Governor and GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin lashed out at President Barack Obama’s administration today for its handling of relations with Israel, taking to Facebook to air out her frustrations over what she called “junior high diplomacy.”

“What is this — junior high school diplomacy? What next — using Facebook to ‘unfriend’ Israel? Isn’t it about time for the Obama administration to remember who our friends are and to treat them like friends?” Palin wrote on her Facebook page. “Israel is once again feeling the brunt of the Obama administration’s enemy centric foreign policy.”

Secretary of State John Kerry, who has been a target of Palin's in the past, also came under fire from the former governor for putting Israel in “an untenable position” over the Iranian nuclear deal as well as recent comments he made in Germany.

“You see for Israel there’s an increasing de-legitimization campaign that has been building up,” Kerry said earlier this week. “People are very sensitive to it. There are talk of boycotts and other kinds of things.”

“The Israelis are quite appropriately upset about the treatment they’ve received from Kerry,” Palin responded.

The "thrilla from Wasilla" strikes again. The Muslims, be they the Arab Muslim Brotherhood, or the Persian "Hidden Iman" types, are the cool kids while the Israeli Jews are the outcasts who deserve bullying and derision.

This whole world diplomacy does very much remind me of the bad social order in Junior High School, too.

I’ll bet you’ve also noticed that she is ALWAYS right. Right on the issues, and “right”.

Here's her full statement:
Israel is once again feeling the brunt of the Obama administration’s enemy centric foreign policy. First, Secretary Kerry put our ally Israel in an untenable position with the deal he brokered with Iran over its nuclear ambitions, then he suggested that Israel could face “delegitimization” and “boycott” campaigns if it didn’t agree on the Obama administration’s idea of a peace deal with the Palestinians, and now he’s denouncing Israel for building homes in a Jewish neighborhood in Jerusalem. The Israelis are quite appropriately upset about the treatment they’ve received from Kerry. And how has the Obama administration responded? Well, National Security Advisor and former UN Ambassador Susan Rice went on Twitter to chastise Israel for criticizing Kerry! What is this – junior high school diplomacy? What next – using Facebook to “unfriend” Israel? Isn’t it about time for the Obama administration to remember who our friends are and to treat them like friends?

For the snotty snots that made fun of Sarah, look what they got instead. I would take Sarah over any of the jerks in the field today.

Sarah Palin’s absolute, unquestioning, and uncritical view of Israel is probably the chief reason I can’t vote for her as POTUS.

Isn’t it about time the Obama Administration grows up. It’s an adult WORLD out there, and Sarah’s right. They act like Jr. High Schoolers....the lot of them.

A bit insulting towards middle-school children.

That’s an insult to junior high students everywhere, whose mock UN’s are not filled with the self-preening incompetence and malevolence of Obama and everyone with whom he surrounds himself.

You know, we have this conversation at home over dinner more often than one would think. Beau thinks like you do as far as Israel is concerned.

But GOOD GOD - siding with Palestinians and the EXTERMINATION of Israel? I just don’t get it.

What say you?

Sarah Palin is Wrong! It isn't "Junior High Diplomacy", it is NURSERY SCHOOL.

Sarah is right on the mark.

Junior high school diplomacy is the trademark of 0bammie and the inept people he’s surrounded himself with for his foreign policy since he took office.

I remember when Democrats ran on being less arrogant toward other countries than the Republicans.

Wouldn’t it be a different world? Thinking about this makes me go to a wonderful place in my mind.
Now, what can we do to make it a better world now?

You do know what the bible says? Israel being a country in our time after thousands of years is one amazing miracle. I am praying for you.
