This is balderdash. Palin has no connection with “Jews for Jesus.” Obama gets a pass for hanging out with the likes of Farrakhan for 20 years and some travelling screwball shows up in Palin’s church once and she is somehow connected to it. What is this “strike Jewish voters”? You mean “Democratic Jewish voters.” Here in Israel we apparently are the only one of 23 countries polled where McCain is favored and adding Palin hasn’t changed that one iota. Okay, so we don’t vote, but we have many relatives that do, and these are among the Jews who put Israel’s welfare high on their list. We have bigger problems than confessional circuses among Christians. Physical survival. Sooner if not later the nuclear installations in Iran have to be dealt with. We’ll do it no matter who is in power in Washington but it would sure be nice to have a cool experienced hand like McCain at the wheel rather than some nervous inexperienced novice like Obama, who the Iranians will mock just like they did Carter.
The Christian population of Israel is 2 per cent and they are concentrated in Nazareth and Arab villages, essentially invisible. Jews for Jesus are welcome to live here so long as they don’t cause trouble, which they alone among Christians sometimes do, and they are sometimes met with violence. These people are regarded as lunatics here and to associate them with the governor of Alaska is invidious.
