Palin: Stay Out Of "Zoning Issue"

Politico reports:

Hours after a terror attack in Jerusalem, Sarah Palin on Wednesday night hammered President Obama for not standing strongly enough behind Israel, conceding too much to the Palestinians, and interfering in a local “zoning issue” – settlement building on the West Bank.

“I think there are many in Israel who would feel even more comfortable knowing that there is even a greater commitment from those who presently occupy the White House that they are there on Israel side, and that our most valuable ally in that region can count on us,” Palin told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren in an interview in Naples, Florida.

Palin was fresh off her two-day “trip of a lifetime” to Israel, where she met Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the weekend and visited the Western Wall and other holy sites.

Palin spoke after a deadly bombing in at the central bus station in Jerusalem that killed one woman and shattering a nearly seven year period since the last major bombing in the city.

Palin struck a pro-Israel tone saying, if she were president, she would take an opposite approach to Obama and stay out of Israel’s way regarding settlements in the West Bank, and take a harder line with Palistineans.

“President Obama was inappropriate to intervene in a zoning issue in Israel,” she said, referring to settlement building on the West Bank. "Let Israel decide their zoning issues themselves.”
