Sarah Palin in Passover message: Next year in Jerusalem

(INN)...Republican Sarah Palin had a powerful message for Passover celebrants. Often touted by activists and pundits as pro-Israel, Palin directly addressed the Jewish people, and offered her solidarity with Israelis:

Tonight Jewish families all over the world will gather to celebrate Passover,
the story of Exodus and the freedom of the Jewish people from bondage. This
holiday reminds us of the sacrifices that are still being made for freedom – the
U.S. troops who are away from their families so that we can be with ours, and
the Israeli people, who struggle for peace with their neighbors even as they
face the threat of war.

“Next year in Jerusalem” will be the refrain
echoed by Jewish families as they finish their Seders tonight. It is a stark
reminder that whatever the threats the Jewish people have faced, whatever the
struggles, their connection to Jerusalem is ancient and unshakable. On this
Passover holiday, our family sends our best wishes to all who are celebrating.
Chag kasher V'Sameach. Happy Passover. And next year in Jerusalem.
