Her first stop – The Wailing Wall.
Notice the Star of David necklace she wore for the occasion.

Sarah Palin arrived in Israel today, her first trip to the Jewish state. She plans on meeting with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and an Israeli settlement leader during her visit.
The Jerusalem Post reported:
Leading US Republican Sarah Palin began a private visit to Israel on Sunday, her first to the Jewish state, and planned to meet Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and tour holy sites.
Palin, a 2008 vice presidential candidate, is a potential White House contender in 2012 and a leading light in the fiscally conservative Tea Party movement.
“As the world confronts sweeping changes and new realities, I look forward to meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu to discuss the key issues facing his country, our ally Israel,” Palin, who flew in from India, said in a statement on her website.
Israeli media described her trip as a bid to show support for Israel, whose standing is strong among US voters, and gain more experience in international affairs ahead of a possible presidential run.
Palin, who is keeping her supporters guessing on whether she will run for the presidency, made no comment to reporters on arrival at Tel Aviv’s Ben-Gurion airport for the two-day visit.
Palin was scheduled to have dinner with Netanyahu and his wife on Monday after visiting holy sites in Jerusalem, including Judaism’s Western Wall.
More… Sarah Palin toured the Holy Land today with Knesset Member and Obama critic Danny Danon.
UPDATE: Rabbi of the Western Wall, Shmuel Rabinovitch, who escorted her on part of her a tour had this to say:
“We’re happy to accommodate Jews and non-Jews visiting the Western Wall. You could feel Palin’s love towards the people of Israel and her great interest in the story of Purim,” said Rabinovitch.

I’d rather read about SArah Palin visiting Israel than John Kerry visiting Syria.
Missy8s commented:
Be safe Governor Palin, the left has murderous operatives in every corner of the world.
We’ll be praying for your safe return to what’s left of America.
nelle commented:
Keep saying it, Sarah: “Our ally, Israel”.
Valerie commented:
I hope she asks lots of questions and listens carefully.
Militant Conservative commented:
She’s doing her homework on her own dime rather than captian kickass learning on the job.
Barry can go to Barzil and Ireland, Sarah is going to evict the poser from the WH.
That is another reason the left hates her. She’ll be the first female president right after the first terd in the punchbowl president. Gonna make skippy look really bad (not hard to do).
powder is dry
a former democrat commented:
very cool!
go sarah!!
Chisum commented:
And she will be treated with great respect by Netanyahu. Unlike how he was treated by Captain KickA$$ WTF.
Taxpayer commented:
Palin will personally deliver our message to Israel: No matter what Obooby says, the vast majority of Americans support Israel as a valuable ally and friend.
MrGoodWench commented:
Find this spot Gov Palin and kick it for me :
” a part of the Western Wall, which is the only remaining part of the Second Temple in the Old City of Jerusalem, began to be referred to as the Al-Buraq Wall. It was given this name because it was said that Muhammad had tied the Buraq to that wall during his Night Journey.”

This shows her gravitas. What other potential Pres contender could hop over to Israel for a personal visit and get a dinner date with Yahu? Maybe Hillary, but that’s her job.
Buffalobob commented:
Yea but can she samba and fill in the brackets?//////////
MN Jim commented:
While the mid-east burns, President WTF goes on spring brake to RIO;
Future President Palin goes on a diplomatic mission to Israel.
Good job, Sarah!
kaffirgal commented:
Notice her choice of Jewelry: Star of David. Nice touch. Despite her gender, she’s a real mensch-unlike that vapid adolescent who currently inhabits the White House.
marc in calgary commented:
She had the flag with the Star of David in her Alaska office… Clearly, she’s always been on our side.
I doubt she’ll have to wait for her dinner with P.M. Netanyahu, or enter/exit by the back door like some visitors to the W.H.
nj in fl commented:
As President, Sarah will greenlight the destruction of Hamas and Hezbollah, cowing Abbas into finally taking a less than two state solution greatly on Israel’s still generous terms.
All those who threw in with PartyBoy will pay for their foolishnes, including, not least, the Chinese, who will be offered about a 60% settlement on the debt PB has racked up.
The Chinese should have had the sense to recognize the Phony had no bipartisan support whatsoever for the biggest financial deal in world history and should have taken that as a huge flashing warning sign.
So basically, Sarah will explain to the Chinese that she sees it as a crony crook deal from the outset, and she recognizes no obligation to fulfill it. If the Commies want the rest they can get it from the unions.
And no, Taiwan is not a form of collateral, no mater what Barky may have told the Chinese.
Other Fools Who Will Pay: Iran and any Muslim Brotherhood front governments that rise from the much before Sarah takes over.
2012 cant get here fast enough!
Beachluver commented:

And she has just come from what clearly amounted to a State Visit in India, where she was very well received.
