PALIN: We shouldn't second guess Israel's security efforts because we cannot ever afford to send a message that we would allow a second Holocaust, for one. Israel has got to have the opportunity and the ability to protect itself. They are our closest ally in the Mideast. We need them. They need us. And we shouldn't second guess their efforts.
COURIC: You don't think the United States is within its rights to express its position to Israel? And if that means second-guessing or discussing an option?
PALIN: No, also ... we need to express our rights and our concerns and...
COURIC: But you said never second guess them.
PALIN: We don't have to second-guess what their efforts would be if they believe ... that it is in their country and their allies, including us, all of our best interests to fight against a regime, especially Iran, who would seek to wipe them off the face of the earth. It is obvious to me who the good guys are in this one and who the bad guys are...
It's very hard to know exactly what Palin said here, as usual. But it seems pretty clear that she said "no" when asked whether the U.S. has the right to second guess anything Israel does.
But again, it's pretty close to impossible to work out exactly what she was saying.
