Former Alaska governor and US vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Tuesday urged the Obama Administration to lay off Israel, and noted that its recent hostile rhetoric toward the Jewish state only served to bolster the enemies of both nations.
"The Obama Administration has decided to escalate, make unilateral demands of Israel, and threaten the very foundation of the US-Israel relationship," Palin wrote on her Facebook page.
"The Obama Administration needs to open its eyes and recognize that it is only Iran and her terrorist allies that benefit from this manufactured Israeli controversy," she continued.
Palin was referring to last week's announcement by Israel that it would build 1,600 new homes in the northeastern Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo, which the Palestinians want cleansed of Jews. The announcement came during US Vice President Joe Biden's visit to Israel, which the White House viewed as a direct insult.
The Obama Administration has demanded that Israel publicly cancel the building project as a gesture of good faith.

I heartily concur with the message but I wonder about the effectiveness of the medium.
Good for Sarah!
God will have the final say.
There exists no medium through which one can convey a pro-Israel message to the Terrorist-in-Chief.
You have to account for the likelihood that that is the Administration's intent.
I don’t care if The One hears her message or not. I care about The American Voter.
Facebook?
The list, ping

Israel has a loyal friend in Palin and a mortal enemy in Obama. I wish that would play a role in which way Jewish voters would lean in 2012.
Everyone else has gotten the message.
When Sarah posts on Facebook, her post gets more hits that day than the NYT or the WSJ.
Are you one of those who never miss a chance to hate on Sarah? Shameful.
Israel and the American people are one in the same in that they both cherish and love their freedom. It is tyrants like Obama and his muslim buddies that oppress all of us.
I am disappointed that she doesn’t come out more forcefully, publicly and openly, against what is being done to our country.
You've got to be sh*ttin me. Are you new to this planet?
IMHO, the most effective medium would be for Sarah to seek official audience with Obama at the WH, and counsel him on the basis of her executive experience.
Sarah, it is this administration’s mission to make ‘wrong - right’ and ‘right - wrong’. Why would anyone think that any of our friends around this globe would be treated better than what is being done within our very own nation. At the rate these punks are going we won’t be ‘able’ to stand on our own let alone help anyone else.
