Alaska - Chabad Rabbi: Sarah Palin a Great Friend To The Jewish Community

Alaska- In light of recent media reports attempting to connect Republican VP nominee Gov. Sarah Palin with controversial historian and Nazi sympathizer Pat Buchanan, VIN News has learned that the Alaska governor has demonstrated strong support for Alaskas Jewish community. In particular, Gov. Palin signed a resolution in June of 2008 recognizing Israels 60th anniversary and the unique relationship between Alaska and the Jewish State, especially the fact that Alaska Airlines played a critical role in the rescue of 40,000 Yemenite Jews in 1948 and 1949.
Chabad of Anchorages Rabbi Yosef Greenberg had this to tell VIN News:
Gov. Palin signed this resolution in the presence of Alaskas Jewish community leaders. This bill was orchestrated by members of the Alaska Legislation and heavily supported by Speaker of the House, Representative John Harris
Gov. Palin has established a great relationship with the Jewish community over the years and has attended several of our Jewish cultural gala events. Gov. Palin also had plans to visit Israel with members of the Jewish community, however, for technical reason, the visit has not occurred yet.
I was personally impressed by Gov. Palins remarks of hope and faith when she gave birth to a child with special needs. We all feel that the Governor is a remarkable, energetic, and good person.
Having said that I like to reiterate that As a Lubavitcher rabbi, I would like to note that we do not endorse any political candidate.

What about "MSNBC Commentator and former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan"?
To: twhitak
Far be it from this Chabadnik to endorse any candidate who is pro-life, pro-Israel, and would never seek to divide Jerusalem.
I'm just sayin'...

Good. I’m not surprised, from everything we know about her.
I’d say that a Chabad Rabbi in Alaska has more credibility on this subject than Nostrils Waxman.

Pat Buchanon was not the guy he is today in 2000, far from it, in 2000 he was a Reform Party Candidate and none of the stuff he has written today, had surfaced back then, he was Perot Jr.
Even a guy like Michael Savage had him on his broadcasts, Pat B just cracked up, he went full on anti Israel and anti Semite.

What about all the left who hates Israel, like Obama who stated that he would not help the Israeli's if attacked. And stated that he would not support any country in a fight against Islam.

I happen to have spoken this Rabbi at length on a previous occasion and he is pretty much the best authority on Jewish issues in Alaska.
He has been involved in building a Jewish Museum in Anchorage and I am quite sure he knows Gov. Palin very well.
She is certainly a friend to the Jewish community and a supporter of Israel.

Once Hamas sees this picture, I'm sure they will immediately put more $$$ into the Obama coffers (well laundered first of course).

Wexler, Waxman, it's kind of confusing.
It must be admitted that Wexler is better looking. But he has a nice, long nose. Just give him a few years, and he'll look like Pinnochio.

Thanks, Alouette, for posting this. I was wondering about this, and I knew you’d be the one to find out. All the best to you. And this is yet one more reason to support McCain/Palin.

Thanks, Rabbi Greenberg, for setting the record straight. Now the desperate Jewish Democrats, fearing that their hegemony over Jewish voters will be taking a big hit come November, will be hard pressed to make hay if they try to smear Palin by foolishly linking her to Buchanan.
