You couldn't miss it, the big Star of David hanging around Sarah Palin's neck as she toured the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island on Wednesday. NBC New York asked Palin about the significance just as she board her bus outside Fox Newschannel to head off to Boston. "Today is the 44th anniversary of Jerusalem being reunited," she said. "We want to call attention to that." The pendant is in every photo she took with fans and supporters and can be seen in every sound-bite captured by television crews. Some analysts wondered if the possible Republican candidate for president was actually wearing the necklace to play to the hometown audience as she hop-scotched around New York on her national bus tour. The reunification of Jerusalem under Israeli control followed the Six Day War in 1967. The event has become a national holiday in Israel, observed this year on June 1 and is marked by state ceremonies, memorial services and parades. Around the world the day is also observed in Jewish schools.
Poster Comment: You don't see too many Christian gals wearing the star of David.

Is Jesse Jackson giving her advice? Why would anyone other than a Jew wear the Star of David? Astounding.
To show their solidarity. And with Palin it's not a political stunt. She is a true-believer Israel-Firster.
I disagree but you might be correct. She was born and raised Catholic and then went to another Christian faith. I believe she is pandering to her audience for political/financial purposes.
I believe you are mistaken about that. Her parents were fundie Evangelical Protestants. "End Timers".
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin Sometimes I remember things correctly. Those Pentecostals - I've heard weird things about them.

Yup,she was born Catholic,but then went fundie Protestant. Those Pentecostals - I've heard weird things about them. Talking about the "speaking in tongues" thing,Fred? Why would that freak you out when half the posters here and on LP speak in tongues with their keyboards. Altered realities ain't just for members of religious cults,they are also for members of political cults.

Palin was born into a Roman Catholic family.[9] Later, her family joined the Wasilla Assembly of God, a Pentecostal church,[279] which she attended until 2002. Palin then switched to the Wasilla Bible Church.[280] When in Juneau, she attends the Juneau Christian Center.[281] Palin described herself in an interview as a "Bible-believing Christian."[9]
