‘Sarah Palin is a Christian, and Christians support Israel’

An online video interview with Alaska Governor and Republican vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin that is currently making the rounds appears to put to rest liberal rumors that she is no friend of Israel.

In the interview with Alaska HDTV, an Israeli flag is clearly seen hanging near the window of Palin’s office, and the governor even appears to be wearing an Israeli flag lapel pin.

Israel National News blogger Tamar Yonah points out that these appearances by the Israeli flag are made more significant by the fact that the video “was not made by a Jewish organization, nor is [Palin] speaking before a Jewish audience or catering to any Jewish vote.”

Christians are pro-Israel, unless they are Presbyterians.

Thanks for the Ping. I love that little Israeli flag behind her in the picture above.

She is apparently very popular among Jewish Alaskans, I saw something earlier today on FR that the Chabad really likes her!

Or the Arab Christians that call Christian Zionism a “heresy.” That really happened to my church, when we held a pro-Israel conference in 2003.

[Berosus]

When I lived in Florida, my house was a mile from a Chabad synagogue, and I visited them twice. I must say that I felt more at home there than in any other synagogue, and I’m a goy.

Did they explain how support for Israel is a heresy?

This should be read by everyone.

No, not really. Their equivalents in America probably would have told us to get away from the Old Testament, saying something like “We no longer live under the old law.”

Heresy, at least as I understand it, is a twisting of essential doctrine in something else, such as that preached by the gnostics. I fail to see how the reestablishment of a Jewish state (an event clearly predicted in the Bible) in its ancient and historic home constitutes a heresy.

[Berosus]

For me, the restoration of Israel fulfilled a lot of the prophecies of the Old Testament. Unfortunately, there are both Christians and Moslems who erroneously teach that God has rejected the Jews, so they think all those prophecies refer to somebody else.

"“When I lived in Florida, my house was a mile from a Chabad synagogue, and I visited them twice. I must say that I felt more at home there than in any other synagogue, and I’m a goy."

From all that I've read of, and heard about, Chabad, I would be more comfortable around them that around liberal "catholics" or any liberal-red "christian", for that matter. I'm also a gentile.

Amen and right on!

[T.L.Sink]

It’s certainly a refreshing change from one who for nearly two decades listened to the anti-Semitic rants of his pastor and mentor, Jeremiah Wright, who was also the friend of such haters of Israel as Louis Farrakhan! And, of course, until he was shamed into it, Obama didn’t even want to wear on his lapel the hateful American flag pin. (Sarc.)
