“We had a good productive discussion on the importance of the UGG Sheepskin Cuff Boot-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 after the meeting. “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.”
“She was extremely well received,” McCain campaign spokesman Michael Goldfarb said, noting that Palin
was interrupted by applause twice,” according to the JTA account. He added that Palin spoke about
“the relationship between Israel and American national security, and the threats to Israel from Iran
and others.”
Evidence of nervousness in the McCain campaign about Palin’s impact on Jewish voters and donors was
made clear when the Likudist Republican Jewish Coalition circulated a video of her Alaska office in
which it found a small Israeli flag, in the words of Politico, “poking out from behind a drape.”
