MINNEAPOLIS -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin today met with the board of directors of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, NBC/NJ has confirmed.

The meeting took place inside Palin's hotel, sources said.

A campaign official would not say who asked for the meeting, but said it was geared towards putting the American Jewish community at ease over her understanding of US-Middle East relations.

"That's obviously going to be an issue," the aide said. "It's not like being the senator from New York, obviously. But these aren't issues that are off her radar."

Palin, joined by Sen. Joe Lieberman, expressed her "heartfelt support for Israel" and spoke of the threats it faces from Iran and others, the campaign official said.

"We had a good productive discussion on the importance of the U.S.-Israel relationship, and we were pleased that Gov. Palin expressed her deep, personal, and lifelong commitment to the safety and well-being of Israel," AIPAC spokesman Josh Block said. "Like Sen. McCain, the vice presidential nominee understands and believes in the special friendship between the two democracies and would work to expand and deepen the strategic partnership in a McCain/Palin Administration."

Can we assume it's the same article? Hope it helps! :hi:

8. yes, thanks much

15. Palin, joined by Sen. Joe Lieberman

Why is he still in the Democratic Party?

21. "It's not like being the senator from New York, obviously. But these aren't issues that are off her

radar."

Of course it's not off her radar. She just finished sitting through a sermon not 3 weeks ago at her church, the church she was raised in. Listening to a sermon from a preacher what says Israel deserves terrorism and that it's punishment from god.

[notadmblnd]

4. Did she call them or did they call her?

somehow, I think it was more a matter of them setting her straight and saying; you either play our way or you go back to your little state and play there.

[CoffeeCat]

6. I totally agree with you...

...and these people have this ominous feel to them.

Remember after Obama met with them, he shortly thereafter spent a lot of time publicly kow towing
to their agenda--seeming to reassure them that he was on their team. Like he'd just met
with Tony Soprano, who told him, "You will now give a speech and in that speech you will say...:

I'm not criticizing Obama. I admit that I don't know a lot about this group. However, their
influence is undeniable.

I get the feeling that they summon you to a room--where they lay out 'how it is' and 'how it will be' and it
is made clear that these people run the world.

"You want to play this game? Ok. We're going to tell you how it's played."

Joe "warmongering neocon" Lieberman leading her into the room...ominous.

Do you supposed this is where people learn that America is no longer a democracy?

[ensho]

11. yes, going into a room with AIPAC is like getting in the prez. plane

with Smirk. re: Katrina, can't forget the changes in Nagin and the Gov., after they went into the prez. plane in N.O.

[notadmblnd]

23. I remember when George Bush took office

the first few months I got the impression that they weren't too concerned about Israel. In fact I really felt they were trying to keep their distance and let them work their own problems out. Then 911 happened and we were once again Israels bestest of friends. I'm not implying anything here; I'm just saying I noticed a change in the relationship of the administration and Israel after that.

5. "Geared towards putting the American Jewish community at ease

over her understanding of US-Middle East relations."

i.e. Whatever Israel does is OK by me and you will never hear a word of criticism of Israel out of my mouth.

[LeftishBrit]

7. Just normal political campaigning (or pandering). AIPAC don't rule the world but Palin may one day

And 100 chats with AIPAC won't 'set Jews at ease' - she would need to publicly renounce Pat Buchanan and the far right for that. And she won't.

[Bob Dobbs]

9. AIPAC may not rule the world

but the power elite that rules AIPAC rules the world.

[ensho]

12. kick

13. If you mean the American and international Right, then they don't just rule AIPAC.

I hope that's what you mean, because if you mean Israel or Jews or any subset thereof, then it would be pretty ugly and in fact Palinesque. But I will assume you just mean the international Right. Who are evil, but very divided IMO. It's not one power elite, but lots of power elites fighting for power, and the rest of the world ends up as 'collateral damage'.

I can't stand AIPAC in their present form - because they have too many ties to Republicans and other right-wingers. But so do too many other groups and people.

[Bob Dobbs]

20. I'm talking about the international power elite of world bankers

that control the international right, the international left, the World Bank, the World Trade Organization, Israel, amerikkka, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia, Africa, Asia et al and fund both sides of every war.

At the top they are not divided, they control all the "lots of power elites" you speak of.

[CoffeeCat]

10. ....but AIPAC...

...and the neocons are on the same team, correct?

Pat Buchanan may be socially arch-conservative, but he has adamantly opposed
the neocon approach to foreign affairs and has criticized the Iraq war.

I can't keep the evil-doers and their webs of hell straight.

[LeftishBrit]

14. AIPAC is currently dominated by neocons, but not all its members are

Buchanan is not only socially arch-conservative but a racist. And despite his isolationism, he has poked his evil disgusting nose into Europe and defended LePen. And implied even that Hitler wasn't all that bad. He may oppose the Iraq war, but the enemy of my enemy isn't always my friend. (LePen and the British National Party oppose the Iraq war too; but they are still evil and dangerous racists and bigots.)

'I can't keep the evil-doers and their webs of hell straight.'

True; there are altogether too many far-right-wingers and fascists and near-fascists in this world.

[notadmblnd]

25. He'd be the Dominionist in the bunch?

[Morning Dew]

16. She probably thought they were the AIP

n/t

[LeftishBrit]

17. bwahaha!

You may be right there.

[mod mom]

18. AIPAC should read Andrew Sullivan's post "Anti-Jewish Terror is "God's Judgment"

Anti-Jewish Terror is "God's Judgment"
02 Sep 2008 11:14 pm
Yes, Sarah Palin sat in a church where this message was given. Two weeks ago. The karma in all this is just amazing:
Brickner also described terrorist attacks on Israelis as God's "judgment of unbelief" of Jews who haven't embraced Christianity.

"Judgment is very real and we see it played out on the pages of the newspapers and on the television. It's very real. When was in Jerusalem he was there to witness some of that judgment, some of that conflict, when a Palestinian from East Jerusalem took a bulldozer and went plowing through a score of cars, killing numbers of people. Judgment — you can't miss it."
Palin was in church that day, Kroon said, though he cautioned against attributing Brickner’s views to her.
How does Hannity deal with this? After what he said about Jeremiah Wright?

LISTEN TO THE SERMON SHE SAT THROUGH:

[HooptieWagon]

19. I wonder if she evangelized on behalf of "Jews for Jesus"?

[VP505]

22. Meeting with AIPAC?

"A campaign official would not say who asked for the meeting, but said it was geared towards putting the American Jewish community at ease over her understanding of US-Middle East relations."

Actually it sounds more like LIEberman holds the AIPAC pocket open and Palin jumps in.

[Hubert Flottz]

24. OMG, don't tell me she #@&*ed Joe LIEberman too...

[earth mom]

26. No doubt Palin is finding out who really runs the show and the country. nt

[katty]

27. mtg with AIPAC when her pastor gave an anti-semitic sermon

just like mc cain and the rest they switch horses as they please

[lovuian]

28. She said in a sermon that Israel shouldn't be defended

because they don't believe in God....

and they took down her sermons....my friend who is Jewish is livid

but now after meeting Aipac she has changed her tune

Palin believes protection of Israel is a `biblical imperative
