Palin on settlements: Jews ‘flocking’ to Israel need a place to live http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/palin-on-settlements-jews-flocking-to-israel-need-a-place-to-live/ Sarah Palin says she disagrees with the Obama administration’s demand that Israel halt settlement construction, although her reason for that opinion is puzzling (or at the least demonstrates she’s not familiar with the term "natural growth" that much of the debate has revolved around). She tells Barbara Walters that she disagrees with the White House because all the Jews moving to Israel need a place to live.
