Sarah Palin Tells Israel to Stop Apologizing
Flawless.
(The Jerusalem Post) — Former American vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin expressed support for Jews praying openly on the Temple Mount on a visit to the Old City of Jerusalem on Sunday, officials who accompanied Palin said.
Palin and her husband Todd arrived for a two-day visit on Sunday afternoon and toured the Western Wall and its adjacent tunnels. They will visit the Old City again on Monday, tour Gesthsemane and the Mount of Olives, and have dinner with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara at their official residence in Jerusalem.
Netanyahu has already met in Jerusalem over the last two months with a number of leading US politicians considered as likely candidates for the Republican presidential nomination, including former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani.
World Likud chairman and Likud MK Danny Danon and Western Wall Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz served as Palin’s tour guides on Sunday night. Palin was told that Jews were not allowed to pray openly on the Temple Mount and about the Arab riots that accompanied Netanyahu’s decision to authorize the creation of an exit from the Western Wall tunnels in 1996.
“Why are you apologizing all the time?” Palin asked her guides.
Palin expressed regret that she would not be able to visit Nazareth or Bethlehem during her brief stay in Israel, but promised that she would soon come back for longer.
“It’s overwhelming to be able to see and touch the cornerstone of our faith,” Palin told reporters upon exiting the tunnels. “I’m so thankful to be able to be here, and I’m thankful to know the Israel-American connection will grow and strengthen as the peace negotiations continue.”
Rabinowitz said that Palin prayed at the point closest to the Holy of Holies and left a note with a personal prayer. Unlike the incident that occurred when then-presidential candidate Barack Obama visited the Western Wall in July 2008, nobody removed her note from the Wall and gave it to the press.

Go Sarah!
Excellent.
Shes awesome.
Now here come the ignorant haters.
There will be comments in here needlessly attacking a private citizen, not in any government or public office.
These comments on Sarah will be based on ignorance, stupidity, wrongly placed hatred, lies and deception.
*sigh*
World leaders are waiting for President Palin.
She continues to look more like the true conservative leader we need as 2012 approaches.
Vast difference between faith and fraud, OB being the later.
Sorry, I meant BO, think I’ll just change it to bo. he doesn’t deserve capitals.
She’s looking more like a serious threat to Obama every day……now watch for the vile lefts attacks to increase in intensity and viciousness.
The left can attack her all they like, you can’t hide patriotism, righteousness or common sense. She will be proved right in the end. Good looking, intelligent, gutsy and a great mother, what a woman.
nevergiveup says:
“think I’ll just change it to bo. he doesn’t deserve capitals.”
That is why I refer to the imposter as “barry.”
rae4palin says:
“World leaders are waiting for President Palin.”
You betcha! And so are an ever increasing number of American citizens. That is why the leftists and RINO’s are freaking out!
So far, she’s withstood the MFM barrage, wrote two best sellers, took it to Bam with “death panels,” thus stirring the pot about the massive lie that IS ObamaoCare, raised millions for her PAC, helped get more than 20 Tea-Party candidates get elected, starred in a free eight-week commercial (actually, it wasn’t free, TLC had to pay HER), given numerous speeches (including a well-reviewed address to India) and laid the groundwork for rebuilding the US relationship with Israel when she assumes office in January 2013. She’s doing the legwork now so she can hit the ground running.
Weasel Zip described Sarah in one word, flawless, how can you top that!
May God bless and protect her and her family.
The fact that she is visiting the Kotel tunnels (under the ancient streets in Jerusalem’s Muslim Quarter) has to be driving BHO nuts.
I loved when Rabbinowitz commented that she knew the material but it was nothing like standing there experiencing it. Sarah is a woman who understands and appreciates the faith of Judaism and its contribution to Christianity. No doubt she is well versed on Israel and its historical as well as legal standing as a sovereign nation.
She will prevail. Truth and righteousness will always win in the end.
President Palin has such a nice ring to it, not ugly like president obummer.
while i think palin would be great as president, i still favor west above all else.
I love this woman. I hope the Israeli’s are praying for the safety of the Palins as much as I am.
Sarah and Todd are having dinner with the Prime Minister AND his wife AT THEIR OFFICIAL RESIDENCE. As far as I have been able to find, none of the other Republican hopefuls who have met with the Israeli PM have been offered this invitation.
She’s running, and Israel knows she would have their back. They obviously love that she is not afraid to say she supports them. Unlike every other potential candidate. And current Precident.
Move to Israel, Maggie. That’s your true allegiance.
This blog is total BS.
“sickofitall says:” nothing of import
Speaking of ignorant haters.
Go sit on a chainsaw, punk–no one is forcing to be here.
sickofitall, actually this is a rather popular site. Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!
I will protect this woman with my life. Please give me the chance to do so.
I am with you Rocketman. I may go down, but it will be with empty mag’s all around me.
And is there something wrong with Maggie moving to Israel? I would if I could.
It would be a righteous cause.
Why dont YOU move to Cuba or China, since lefties all think communism is just so nifty?
You can’t buy class, Captain Clueless has proven this and this woman
has it along with the love for our country,her people, Israel and the
world….
The Israelis knows Mrs. Palin is a leader and along with the American
people will always support their great country and never back down…
God be with you Sarah……….
Who are Jewish people apologizing to?
They always demand apologies.
