In an interview with ABC’s Barbara Walters, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin separated herself from decades of U.S. policy — which has held that Israel’s settlements in the Occupied Territories are illegitimate and an impediment to peace — saying that she thinks “Jewish settlements should be allowed to be expand”:
WALTERS: The Obama administration does not want Israel to build any more settlements on what they consider Palestinian territory. What is your view on this?
PALIN: I disagree with the Obama administration on that. I believe that the Jewish settlements should be allowed to be expanded upon, because that population of Israel is, is going to grow. More and more Jewish people will be flocking to Israel in the days and weeks and months ahead. And I don’t think that the Obama administration has any right to tell Israel that the Jewish settlements cannot expand.
WALTERS: Even if it’s [in] Palestinian areas?
PALIN: I believe that the Jewish settlements should be allowed to be expand.
Not only does Palin disagree with the Obama administration on that, she also disagrees with the Bush administration, whose 2002 “roadmap for peace” called for a settlement freeze. In fact, every U.S. administration since Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and Gaza began in 1967 has opposed Israel’s building of settlements, which are held to be illegal under the Fourth Geneva Convention:
Article 49. The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.
In addition to violating Israel’s obligations under international law, the settlements are a major source of anger and frustration for Palestinians, and one of the main drivers of extremism and violence among both Palestinians and Israelis. By further entrenching Israel within the Palestinian territories, the settlements also make a two-state solution — which both Presidents Bush and Obama have recognized as a central U.S. national security interest — far more difficult to achieve.
Palin’s wild views on Jewish settlements might help her steal some radical right-wing religious support from Mike Huckabee, but they have disastrous implications both for U.S. and Israeli security, as well as for Palestinian national and human rights.
AwCmon, you don’t really expect the failed Governor to know shit about the Geneva convention, do you? She probably thinks it’s a cool place to go and mingle with the other conventioneers.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:03 pm“I believe that the Jewish settlements should be allowed to be expanded upon…”
WTF???
November 18th, 2009 at 4:05 pmshe’s fcuking clueless!
What did anyone expect? Palin belongs to an “end time” Christianist sect; they want all the Jews to go back to Israel and Judeah. Immanentize the Eschaton. Armageddon – bringin’ it on. Etc and so on.
Witless cariboob.

__________
She can see Switzerland from her house, dontcha know?
November 18th, 2009 at 4:05 pmOnce again, the ditz proves she is a policy lightweight by not understanding the real problem.
I wonder if she would change her mind if illegal immigrants came to Alaska and “occupied” land.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:05 pmI believe that the Jewish settlements should be allowed to be expanded upon, because that population of Israel is, is going to grow.
Manifest destiny! Let’s give those Palestinians some H1N1-infected iPods!
More and more Jewish people will be flocking to Israel in the days and weeks and months ahead.
Meanwhile, here in the real world, immigration to Israel has steadily decreased over time.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:06 pmSo who has given the right to say yes to Israel’s expansion to Palin, who holds no current political office?
I’m gonna guess this was a “gotcha” question too?
November 18th, 2009 at 4:07 pmof course bible-thumpin’-speakin-in-tongues-to-snakes cut n’ run palin would endorse tension in the mideast since everyone knows it will bring about jeebus returning to earth
November 18th, 2009 at 4:09 pmPalin takes another step down the plank…
November 18th, 2009 at 4:09 pmSave me Jebus!!
November 18th, 2009 at 4:10 pmSo be it, Palin says they should be allowed to expand, because more and more Jewish ppl will be flocking to Israel! For what, a vacation!? Sounds like good foreign Palin policy at work…narrow minded, judgemental, clueless, thoughtless and downright embarrassing
November 18th, 2009 at 4:11 pmA breath of fresh ignorance.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:11 pmI doubt very seriously if she can even find Israel on a map much less make an intelligent comment on the current situation there.

Notice that she avoids the question about whether the settlements should be allowed to expand into Palestinian areas. When asked this directly, she simply repeats what she said. I believe she is one of those people who believes that Israel has done nothing wrong. She is sadly mistaken.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:14 pmIt’s almost like listening to Bush define sovereignty.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:15 pmlookit the nice strawman mr puke created just in time for thanksgiving?
mr. puke, how do you feel the land israelis are settling on is STOLEN land from an ILLEGAL pre-emptive war?
November 18th, 2009 at 4:15 pmPresident Obama: “The sky is blue.”
PALIN: I disagree with the Obama administration on that.
It really doesn’t matter what the Obama administration plans, agenda, or policies are. The answer would always be the same.
PALIN: I disagree with the Obama administration on that.
Palin is very good at being a “nattering nabob of negativism“, any fool can be a negative obstructionist. But I’ve yet to hear a single original “idea” from Ms. Palin’s head other than she was “quitting as governor of Alaska because she’s not a quitter“. Now THAT was original.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:16 pmIf Israel laid down its arms what would happen?
Question: Why do you equate not expanding settlements with “Laying down arms”? Are you a liar, or just stupid?
November 18th, 2009 at 4:17 pmQuestion: If Israel laid down its arms what would happen? They would get wiped out. If all their Arab neighbors laid down their arms, what would happen? Nothing.
See what Israel is dealing with.
The question wasn’t about what would happen if Israel laid down its arms (a false choice, by the way, making the rest of your statement meaningless), the question was whether or not Israel should expand the settlements into Palestinian areas. Presenting a false choice does not win your argument.
See what we are dealing with.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:18 pmHi Mr. Dupe.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:18 pmWhat’s on the tube this afternoon?
The Dumb and the Feckless?
I don’t get it, why would ABC asked Palin on a question like that? we all know she does not have the knowledge nor the intelligence to answer the question. Next time, please stick with hunting and teen pregnancies on Palin will ya?
November 18th, 2009 at 4:19 pmmr puke,
November 18th, 2009 at 4:19 pmare you one of them bible beaters waiting for armageddon?
What happened when the Native Americans laid down their arms, Mr. Dupe?
November 18th, 2009 at 4:20 pmUnless any of us are actual experts at diplomacy in the Middle East or have such experts on hand, I don’t think any of us should be making hypotheticals about what Israel and Palestine would or wouldn’t do.
That includes any politician.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:20 pmI bet she or any other right winger wouldn’t say the same thing about Mexico.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:20 pmMr Duke…you seem to miss the part that the land belonged to the Palestinians for centuries till of course we stick the Israelis over there and make them a country.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:21 pmMr.Duke says:
Since 1948, the area has been a mess.
And what does your little babble have to do with Ms. Palin’s thoughtless thoughts on the subject?
November 18th, 2009 at 4:21 pmSo true, so true.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:21 pmLet’s face it. There is so much misinformation, disinformation, conflation, fabrication and downright lying in circulation. It’s challenging for any of us to sort through it, verify the real facts and sort out the “significant few” from the “trivial many”.
As difficult as it is for an intelligent person to do so, it is absolutely impossible for a dolt like Sarah Quaylin. She is merely a useful idiot for the likes of Limpballs, Vanity and BeckyBoy. Her comments about the Jewish settlements are a prime example of her utter ignorance.
As I write this, Little Seanie Vanity is discussing “death panels” with her right now in conjunction with the U.S. Preventive Health Services Task Force’s (USPHSTF) new mammogram guidelines. Neither one of them are aware that the USPHSTF began in 1984 and has provided the “gold standard” in screening guidelines for all kinds of diseases for 20 years. There’s nothing new there.
In addition, the USPHSTF is part of the Agency for Healthcare Quality that has existed within the Department of Health and Human Services for more than a decade. This agency deals with a variety of evidence-based research on treatment protocols, outcomes, new technology, etc. If the cost curve in healthcare is going to get bent downward, this is where it needs to begin. There is too much variance in practice patterns, diagnostic routines, outcomes and costs. No one in Washington seems to really get that fact right now. And the whole concept is 40,000 feet over the heads of Quaylin, republicans in general and the rant-jockeys who spend every day bashing healthcare reform.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:21 pmWhy does the media continue with their fascination with this moronic idiot? She has the mental capacity of a AAAA battery!
God, what a moron. As long as expansion continues, the war and atrocities will continue.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:23 pmWhat in the fu cking crap!?
you can’t be serious..
what?
just when I thought I couldn’t be more shocked by Republican idiotic behavior…
what?
really?
November 18th, 2009 at 4:24 pmI wonder if she would change her mind if illegal immigrants came to Alaska and “occupied” land.
They already did, just ask the Aleuts, the Tlingit, the Eskimos… etc. etc. etc.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:24 pmASTOUNDING the levels of stupidity this woman scrapes….if she actually knew anything about any other part of the planet other than the 40-50 square miles that surround her compound in Alaska if would almost be scary that she could find a second Wal-Mart…
It’s is TRULY amazing how dumb she is….amazing…
November 18th, 2009 at 4:25 pmJoe Lieberman (R-Israel) was just seen dancing in the streets!!
November 18th, 2009 at 4:25 pmMr Duke
You dont KNOW what Israel has been dealing with. You dont know anything. You are stupid and you are brainwashed. Just STFU. You are too stupid to add to the simplest conversation much less something as complex as the Israeli/Palestinian issue
November 18th, 2009 at 4:26 pmShe has no clue!!! Does anybody with any real intellect believe she knows a dime’s worth about the Israel/Palestine issue? Would she mind if Native Americans decide to expand their rightful settlements? She shows her lack of depth, by repeating, word for word, “Jews have rights, Muslims eat dirt” kind of talk.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:26 pmwell, at least cut n’ run palin’s getting better with this interview routine. a mere 9 months ago she would have been quoted as saying,
“i can see israel from alaska don’tcha know also, too”.

November 18th, 2009 at 4:28 pmGod Bimbostien is almost as stupid as the trolls that post here. Now I know why the religious right supports her. She would have a good shot at bringing about the end of the world
November 18th, 2009 at 4:28 pmWho has ever said anything about Israel laying down their arms???
November 18th, 2009 at 4:30 pmbased on her “theories” the southern United States had better hope & pray that Mexican population in the north doesn’t grow and feel the need to expand.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:31 pmDoes this woman have any idea what she’s talking about?
Does she really believe that Jews are relocating to Israel at an alarming rate? My research shows that if anything, Jewish immigration to Israel is declining slightly.
Does she know that the concept of taking over someone else’s land because the space is needed for one’s people has a rather dark history? Hitler justified his takeover of central Europe for “lebensraum” for Germans and others of the “master race”. Does she really want to go with this, knowing the inevitable comparison people will make? And does she know that inviting ANY parallel between Jews and Hitler is in incredibly bad taste?
Does she know that her intelligence ranks below that of coleslaw?
November 18th, 2009 at 4:31 pmPerhaps the news media should quit headlining the comments of a true crackpot like Palin and her pal, Beck. Please, less attention to her and to him!! If she were ever again elected to office in this country, after abandoning her governorship, then elections will really have ceased to have any meaning whatsoever.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:31 pmShe needs to expand her brain. Either that or get on her broom and fly the fck out of here.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:33 pmGod’s gonna wipe out something like 4 out of 5 of the “attackers” against Israel. Everything is going swimmingly.

Except they would be dispossesed, and then in need of land for their settlements. So you’re saying we should allow the Palestinians to be pushed of their land, and…
Wingnuts never seem to have an answer, short of genocide.

Since Sarah’s lineage is not native, I guess that makes her one of the immigrants who came to occupy the land.

The US provides a significant subsidy for arms for Israel. It is our business to tell the Israelis not to build settlements when they are using our money. Palin’s statements reflect her inability to grasp foreign affairs. Thank the deity of your choice she is not the VP.

Sarah Palin saying something retarded (again) is NOT newsworthy, it’s par for the course.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:41 pmPlease do not waste time trying to figure out her motives, THEY ARE CLEAR. Her one goal in life is to NOT KNOW ANYTHING and to act like she knows everything. This woman is a nutcase and proves her ignorance each and every day. She is a lazy, dim witted person who thinks if you say some catchy thing, it will fool everyone into believing you know something. This is just to create a firestorm to coincide with her book release, which is a compilation of angry, self-pitying blame throwing and thoughtless, ill-conceived ideas.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:44 pmWhat drugs is Failin’ Palin on…I mean really tho…in her world it appears what’s good for the goose ain’t good for the gander…
November 18th, 2009 at 4:45 pmI think her comment about how people will be “moving there in the coming weeks and months” is a referenece to the End Times. Many christians believe we are already in the End Times, and Armaggeddon is just around the corner.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:46 pm“In addition to violating Israel’s obligations under international law, the settlements are a major source of anger and frustration for Palestinians, and one of the main drivers of extremism and violence among both Palestinians and Israelis.”
Not to mention providing Islamist radicals and repressive regimes in the MidEast and elsewhere with a substantial distraction from their own failures and an incitement to hostility to the West in general, and the US in particular.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:47 pmI trust it’s obvious that there’s nothing that the US (or Israel) has ever done that would validate the 9/11 attacks, or any of the other terrorist acts perpetrated against the West over the last few decades. But it sure wouldn’t help if we were to deliberately support one of the least defensible policies of the Likudniks.
If only…
Walters:
Ms Palin, when Jesus returns to settle old scores what will happen to the Jews in Israel who refuse to accept Christ as their Savior?

They will be Left Behind, of course. And, I suppose, burn in Hell for eternity.

I hadn’t even considered this scenario. I wouldn’t have thought that even Sarah Palin would craft foreign policy around the “Left Behind” series.
I don’t know which is scarier — that? Or the fact that there are a lot of people out there who think she’s right?

I’m starting to wonder if there is such a thing as journalistic integrity.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:02 pmI can’t help wondering if the whole psycho-armaggeddon (end of life as they know it) thingy they fantasize about will only pertain to them…the rest of us will be able to breath freely at that point.

November 18th, 2009 at 5:06 pmLet us go with the idea of what would happen if both the Israelis and the Palestinians laid down their arms.

Duke’s just a dingleberry on Blimpo’s backside, but…
I wouldn’t say the land belonged to the Palestinians. In the day to day sense, perhaps; each village had it’s common areas and various people had orchards and fields but I don’t know that land tenure, real estate ownership, was established in quite the way it is in the US and Europe.
In terms of land policy, there are several historical influences, starting with the Roman Empire, which held the area until around the 7th Century and the arrival of Islam. Then Crusaders came into the area in about the 11th century and held on for some time, and were superceded by the Ottoman Empire, which held the area up until the end of World War I, after which the Brits had it until 1948, when the current mess really got going.
Land tenure and policy ought to be in the hands of the Palestinians, but the Israelis have to pull back to the pre-67 border first. The settlements have been illegal from the get-go, as has been the Israeli annexation policy.

This is the fault of the press, and interviews like Barbara Walter’s latest.

pags
Also since it is a CLEAR violation of the fourth Geneva convention.
The situations is not clear cut because there are legal issues relating to the Palestinian state which has never existed. International law is pretty murky. What is clear is our subsidies to Israel which is intransigent about the peace process and the lack of unity of Palestinians. Obama has tried to make it clear that the settlements must stop and the peace process move forward. There will be repercussions if the Israelis refuse to budge on the settlements and the Palestinians do not have a unity government. Continued stalemate is not an option. After 60+ years it is time for this to be resolved because the lack of a settlement is hurting our ability to conduct foreign affairs with Muslim nations. It also fuels extremism.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:44 pmMore proof that Palin is a fcking idiot, but we knew that already.
More proof that the MSM are fcking idiots for letting that fcking idiot have a platform.
Idiots.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:45 pmwith a support base consisting of utter morans, bible spice don’t need to worry about no “conversions” or no “treaties” – why are we giving treats to foreigners anyway, right??
and who the f is this “Geneva”, and who made her boss?
November 18th, 2009 at 5:47 pmTen bucks she’s saying this only because it’s a contrary opinion to Obama, and she really doesn’t know the issues.
She probably thinks the Palestinian-occupied land is actually *Israel* land that Palestines just happen to live in. Kinda like how the Native Americans just happened to live on *our* land, so it was okay for us to expand our “settlements” as well.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:55 pmAgainst all odds, she just keeps saying stupider things every time she opens her mouth.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:55 pmHey, c’mon. That was a loaded question. She was asked if she agrees with the Obama administration’s stance on Israeli settlements. Of course, she is going to disagree. If Obama said that he had decided on Cheerios for breakfast, SillySarah would say he made a bad decision and that he should have chosen Wheaties. There is nothing President Obama will do that she will agree with. She would even disagree with Obama if he said her kids were cute.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:57 pmAnd where does Mrs. Palin propose we put the Palestinians? I mean their population is growing too.
November 18th, 2009 at 6:04 pmI don’t think it’s really an intentional distinction, but Walters asks about Israeli settlements and Palin says Jewish settlements.
November 18th, 2009 at 6:18 pmSomeone should ask Palin if she is in favor of Alaska invading part of Canada then building American settlements inside Canada. She would probably call that hypothetical to duck the question but it would be an identical proposition.
November 18th, 2009 at 6:30 pmSarah Quaylin: “Israel? Is that a continent or a country?”
November 18th, 2009 at 6:33 pmIts a safe bet that Palin is just parroting what her ghostwriter wrote for her.
And not the opposite [What they want people to believe] that Palin dictated to Lynn Vincent what to write.
November 18th, 2009 at 6:35 pmAnd factually, her talk of people moving to Israel, not so much. The Jewish population is dropping as they assimilate into western society.
November 18th, 2009 at 6:37 pmPALIN: I disagree with the Obama administration on that. I believe that the Jewish settlements should be allowed to be expanded upon, because that population of Israel is, is going to grow.
November 18th, 2009 at 6:37 pm————————————————————-
Walters should have followed up with asking if she feels the same about Mexicans moving into this Country.
By the way sweety(Palin), you don’t gain Israeli street cred when you refer to them as “Hay-sead-ick” Jews!
Does old still finding himself SamJoe still not matter?
November 18th, 2009 at 6:39 pmAnytime an evangelical talks about Israel, it’s about End Times.
November 18th, 2009 at 7:02 pmThis is exactly what happens when you give a microphone to a crazy FUNDAMENTALIST (she’s WAY beyond Evangelical, people) “Christian” who also happens to be a delusional egomaniac. I was raised around people like her.
Thanks a lot, John McCain.
November 18th, 2009 at 7:27 pmPalin is making Tom Cruise look both sane and smart.
November 18th, 2009 at 8:15 pmMore and more Jewish people will be flocking to Israel in the days and weeks and months ahead.
ahead of what?
is this some end times prophecy? what does she think she knows?
November 18th, 2009 at 8:21 pmI would rather take seriously the views of a porn star on Israel-Palestine issue rather than this moron. She is garbage and I don’t know why she is everywhere and why every media outlet is reporting the trash coming out her mouth. It’s actually very demeaning to even read what she had to say on any issue.
November 18th, 2009 at 8:44 pmJ. Fred Smug,
I think I would take it one step further and call her an extremist. She actually had a witch-hunter cast spells over her as protection from witches, demons, and all other spirits.

November 18th, 2009 at 10:36 pm” You know, I was on the phone with Joe The Plumber before you came,and as you know he became an expert on Middle Eastern affairs, due to his last years reporting visit from the Middle East,and that’s what he advised me to say,and if I win,he will be one of my top advisors,so we can wrench it out together”.
pags I disagree. They are CALLED the occupied territories. There is no DISPUTE Israel IS occupying them and therefor IS an occupying power. It is also quite clear that the GC FORBIDS occupying powers to build settlements. I dont see the gray area you are talking about

Being an American Jew, this quote makes me sick to stomach. Reading this, I have to wonder – Has Sarah Palin ever met a jew before? Could she find Israel on a map of the world? Could she find Israel on a map of the Middle East?

Politics aside:
SOOOOooo because a certain segment of people continually breed according to their religious beliefs, other segments of people must MOVE. Is this what this woman is saying??
Wouldn’t have anything to do with the ‘rapture’ would it??
November 19th, 2009 at 12:25 pmI’m glad to see that Ms. Palin has announced that she is a servant of the Jews. As if we needed any other reasons to think she was retarded.
November 19th, 2009 at 12:35 pmQuestion: When will Shimon Peres announce that he thinks Sarah Palin is one of the intellectual giants of our time? The winner receives a free, fun filled trip to Auschwitz.

I would rather take seriously the views of a porn star on Israel-Palestine issue rather than this moron.
I hadn’t heard that Carrie Prejean had given an opinion on this topic, but, I’m sure that if she had, it wouldn’t be too much different from Bible Spice.
November 19th, 2009 at 1:16 pmislamaphobia is alive and well in the repubican party aided and abetted by jewish neoncons like kristol ,goldberg, lieberman, et.al…if there is ever to be peace in the middle east, the usa must be viewed as an honest broker, and this bimbo has just set back any gains that obama has made in the past year with his overtures to the muslim world
