Does anyone have a clue why Palin would have the Israeli flag in her office?   I'm a little puzzled over this.

Most governor's office have the state flag and Old Glory.  What is she trying to say here?

I have no idea.  But it reminds me of the book The Yiddish Police Officer's Union by Michael Chabon.

That book is next on my list to read.  I like to spread out my Jewish authors inbetween others.

You'll have to let me know what you think of it.

Seems like a bit of a political move, to be honest. Even the Israeli consulates in the US didn't have Israeli flags outside until very recently. Palin was governor of a state with very few Jews, but probably had political aspirations for which being pro-Israel is important. Also, she is a member of the Christian Right, which has become very fiercely pro-Israel lately, which could explain the flag as well. It would be a way of signaling her religious beliefs, without having to state them. Just my opinion....

One of the other posters PM'd me with info on motives of evangelicals supporting Israel.  I feel my curiosity is satisfied.

Thanks.
