Thanks, Soccer Dad. Interesting reading.

I get the urge to tell the Jews for Jesus types to eff off, when they approach me, even though I’m not religious. However, I’m polite, and I simply tell them that when I become religious, I’ll practise Judaism.

Hugh, My guess is that if there's suspicion that Jews have of Palin, it has to do with her church and the fear many liberal Jews have of "fundamentalists." Here are a couple of items to consider. I wouldn't put too much emphasis on "is she good for the Jews?" because she's governor of Alaska, how many Jews are there in Alaska?

Well, you beat me to the swim snark, so I’ll suggest here that she make her peace with her choice and enjoy her new home. After all, she is not helping Gaza’s “cause” by implying it’s not a fit place to spend the rest of her life.

Just watch. There will be behind the scenes pressure exerted upon Israel by Blair and the United States. They’ll eventually find an excuse to let her travel via Israel.

Personally, I’d prefer to see her rot in Gaza.

Meryl, have you seen this column about Palin in Politico?

Since I’m not an American, I don’t know whether Ben Smith is a Democrat, in which case, I’d take his comments with a grain of salt. I’ve read that Wexler’s opinion may leave something to be desired.
