    Hard to say what the caribou barbie really thinks about the Jews and Israel, though her pastors seem to be end time nuts who want to destroy Isreal's enemies to make Jerusalem safe for a new temple and second coming of Christ. Palin told Shimon Peres she is very pro-Israel, carries a flag and a pin with star of David in her office. Typical Pentecostal fanatic.

    If you think bombing Iran like Israel did Iraq in the 80s is good, then Jews should like Palin. If you want more balance, concern for Palestinians to make overall peace -- what Jeremiah Wright has been preaching for years, then Obama makes a helluva lot more sense. What good is it going to do to bomb Iran if we have a milion angry Palestinians waiting for return and a chance to kill Jews. Obama will do for Israel what he will do for America, tell them things they don't necessarily want to hear. It's time to get fair with the Palestinians, so we can finally have overall peace.
