Edited to add from the Youtube description:

Sarah Palin is the latest Republican politician to visit to Israel after a string of possible Presidential hopefuls to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in the past few months.
Why is establishing your credentials in Tel Aviv before running for US president as vital as stumping in New Hampshire?
The pilgrimage of presidential hopefuls often begins with the Western Wall and includes a photo op with Binyamin Netanyahu. They all appear to be first stops ahead of a possible run for the US top spot.
"In some ways I think of Israel as the new Iowa," explained Rebecca Vilkomerson, executive director of Jewish Voice for Peace. "It's sort of the indicator that you're running for President is a trip to Israel."

1. "Someone asked Palin what she thought of the West Bank. She replied...

...'Oh, I use Wells Fargo.'"
