Sarah Palin went to Israel
Just to make some headlines
She put a kippa on her head
And made the morning's deadlines.
That Palin arrived in Israel as the Jews were celebrating Purim is a delicious irony.
During this holiday, celebrants wear silly costumes and consume large amounts of booze to commemorate the defeat of one of their historic villains, the evil Haman, who conspired to wipe out all Jews eons ago.
In what guise was Palin's visit? Potential presidential candidate courting Jewish voters in the U.S? Trying to impress people that by seeing Israel from her hotel window she knew something about the Middle East?
Although the trip was described as “private,” she is supposed to talk with PM Benjamin Netanyahu. That should be a scintillating conversation. As far as I know the only moose in Israel are the stuffed ones we gave to our grandchildren.
