If Jewish people “should emigrate to Israel” then why object to Ms. Palin’s suggestion? If, after all, every Jewish person in the world moved to Israel, where would they all live? They would have to move into the West Bank. You are quite correct, there are those would love to rid the United States of Jews, the battle cry of the German anti-Semites was “Juden Raus” after all, so of course those with a similar ideology today would love to see them all go to Israel. All of that not withstanding, I do not see how you can argue that all of the Jews of the world should go to Israel but their should not be Zionist settlements on the West Bank.

What is astonishing about Ms. Palin’s comments are myriad. On simple factual level, what makes Ms. Palin think “More and more Jewish people will be flocking to Israel in the days and weeks and months ahead…” as compared to previous days, weeks, or months? This assertion is shear delusion. Beyond that, even if it were true, the idea that Jewish settlements in the West Bank are simply a response to increases in Jewish population is non-sense. Jewish settlements are a deliberate attempt to drive out Palestinians and defy world opinion. What is really embarrassing is to see journalists let her make ridiculous statements without any challenge at all.
