In a previous post entitled I Spy... Oh No, I was unsure whether or not Republican VP candidate, Gov. Sarah Palin, was wearing an Israeli flag pin. After further review, and seeing her speak a few more times, I am 99.9% sure that it is not. It does appear to be a service pin.
However, in her interview with Charles Gibson earlier this week, she did pledge unwavering support for Israel and yielded unquestioned authority to the decisions of their government.
GIBSON: What if Israel decided it felt threatened and needed to take out the Iranian nuclear facilities?
PALIN: Well, first, we are friends with Israel and I don't think that we should second guess the measures that Israel has to take to defend themselves and for their security.
GIBSON: So if we wouldn't second guess it and they decided they needed to do it because Iran was an existential threat, we would cooperative or agree with that.
PALIN: I don't think we can second guess what Israel has to do to secure its nation.
GIBSON: So if it felt necessary, if it felt the need to defend itself by taking out Iranian nuclear facilities, that would be all right.
PALIN: We cannot second guess the steps that Israel has to take to defend itself.

Seems like Israel is the only country whose foreign and domestic policies we do not question.
