Sarah Palin urges Israel settlement expansion, attacks Barack Obama

[karynnj]

Remember when John Kerry, Chris Dodd, and Nancy Pelosi were attacked by the right for going to Syria - in spite of the fact that Dodd and Kerry had questions from Dr Rice to ask and were going for the Foreign Relations committee, approved by Lugar.

Her latest bombshell: to effectively call for an end to 40 years of official government policy on Israel in an interview with ABC's Barbara Walters. In teasers the network is releasing before the interview airs tonight, ABC quotes Gov. Palin as saying Obama is wrong to oppose settlement expansion, an ongoing issue that is dimming the chances for progress on peace between Palestinians and Israelis.

"I disagree with the Obama administration on that," Palin said. "I believe that the Jewish settlements should be allowed to be expanded upon, because that population of Israel is, is going to grow. More and more Jewish people will be flocking to Israel in the days and weeks and months ahead. And I don't think that the Obama administration has any right to tell Israel that the Jewish settlements cannot expand."

"We need essentially a surge strategy in Afghanistan, so that we can win in Afghanistan," Palin told Walters. "And that means more resources, more troops there. It frustrates me and frightens me and many Americans that President Obama is dithering around with the decision in Afghanistan."

3. I don't believe in prayer, but, hell, I pray she

doesn't start some war with her commentary.

4. There are plenty of 2nd and 3rd grade children with a better grasp and

understanding of world politics. It would be more interesting to hear what they have to say about these matters.

[Quixote1818]

That is 100% correct. There really are little kids who "get it" when she can't. nt

[Quixote1818]

5. Wow, she has absolutly zero understanding of the situation there. nt

[lob1]

8. Her understanding is clear. Whatever Obama is for,

she is against. No need for details (or facts), they just make things messy.

[forty6]

21. Yup, and she can make $$$ being against him, her formula for success!...

She doesn't NEED to make sense, she is just out to make money off of the stupid people, (and there are millions of them here in the USA, and millions more worldwide) who will buy her bullshit, and she will profit from that.

That's all she is... a money making machine like the circus barkers of 50 and 100 years ago... she just makes money saying whatever, and too many people will always be stupid enough to buy it.

30. In that case, he should come out in favor of eating, breathing, and snuggling kittens.

6. UN investigator: Israel engaged in ethnic cleansing

<snip>

"Israel's expansion of settlements in East Jerusalem and eviction of Palestinians from their homes there is a form of ethnic cleansing, a United Nations investigator said on Monday.

United States academic Richard Falk was speaking to the UN Human Rights Council as it prepared to pass resolutions condemning settlement building in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

The "continued pattern of settlement expansion in East Jerusalem combined with the forcible eviction of long-residing Palestinians are creating an intolerable situation" in the part of the city previously controlled by Jordan, he said.

This situation "can only be described in its cumulative impact as a form of ethnic cleansing," Falk declared."

date.

[denverbill]

9. Praying for the apocalypse obviously. Great Presidential material there.

She is just scarily ignorant.

[Klukie]

10. Someone needs to ask her stupid ass why she thinks Jewish people will be "flocking" to Israel soon

She is an end timer lunatic and she needs to be exposed and mocked

[dennis4868]

11. If this is true....

she disagrees with Saint Ronny and both Bush presidents.....this policy did not start with Obama.

[damntexdem]

14. Yeah, and in the 1930s, the German people needed more expansion room.

Hey, if I think that my yard is too small, I should be able to just expand into my neighbor's yard.

Sarah Failin again.

[spanone]

15. i really really really don't give one whit of shit what she thinks on any subject

her ignorance will now be internationally known

[no_hypocrisy]

16. Sarah Palin supports "ethnic cleansing". See article

Israel declines to deal with Falk or even allow him into the country, accusing him of being biased.

[Thrill]

17. Does anyone really give a shit, what she thinks?

She's an idiot.

[polichick]

25. Apparently somebody does - she gets paid for her lame speeches.

[Arkana]

18. Hey Sarah--it's criminal to actively undermine US foreign policy.

We have a word for it: TREASON.

[Canuckistanian]

19. She probably asked for bacon at breakfast, too

Luckily, she already has an international reputation for stupidity and Americans in general won't be blamed.

[onenote]

20. Jews certainly will be flocking to Israel

if Sarah P and her Tea Party bigot pals look like they're gaining in power here.

[Avant Guardian]

22. Sarah Palin calls for more ethnic cleansing in the Palestinian territories?

That should bring in some new speaking fees!

What a freaking skankamuffin

[vaberella]

23. What will happen to Palestinians?! Is what they should ask her.n/t

[polichick]

26. She's talking about the end times - to hell with Palestinians...

...and everyone else who isn't one of the chosen few. She really believes this stuff.

[polichick]

24. Dear God, please rapture her asap. (She can't wait!)

[Keith Bee]

27. Gee, how unconventional. How Mavericky!

:sarcasm:

[Beaverhausen]

28. this is from November 2009

she has done and said way more stupid shit since this.

[Zoeisright]

29. STFU Palin.

She gets dumber every day. At least fewer people in this country are listening to her.

and the fact that that bitch was welcomed by Netanyahu makes my opinion of him sink even lower. Which I didn't think was possible.
