Sarah Palin’s “One Nation” bus tour stopped in New York City Wednesday where she visited the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island . Also making an appearance around her neck was the large Star of David she picked up during her trip to Israel. Palin is not Jewish, so why is she wearing a symbol of Judaism?
Even the Rupert Murdoch-owned, right-leaning New York Post felt the need to mention that Palin was “sporting a Star of David necklace” in its report on her visit. When the Star first appeared during her trip to Israel in March, The Washington Post wrote: Her visit to Israel may have been an intriguing political maneuver, but it was the sight of Palin, a Christian woman, wearing the Jewish symbol that has sparked the most discussion. When is a necklace more than a necklace? When it makes a ‘major statement’ on Christian support for Israel.
The Post reports that David Brog, the executive director of Christians United for Israel, told The Atlantic that wearing the Star of David is in vogue among Christian woman who support Israel: “A lot of the folks in my organization, they wear Stars of David,” he noted. “Mainly the women.” In CUFI circles, indeed, “it is increasingly common to wear one all the time,” Brog noted, and not just while visiting Israel.
To do so is seen as an expression of being “pro-Israel” and “philosemitic,” part and parcel with worshiping Jesus as a Jewish carpenter and honoring the Jewish roots of Christianity.

I think it is disgusting and cheap pandering by that women. She is just using the star to promote her ridicules nonsense. Christens are in no way part of our tradition and someone should clue her in I just don’t think she is smart enough to get it. . Resurrection cults are not Jewish and she should take her beliefs and crawl into a oil tank and sink.
Good G-d she could not even finish her governors term in the Republican welfare state call Alaska. If we were smart we should sell the whole state back to the Russians as long as they take her with them.
