arah Louise Palin the 46 year old former Governor of Alaska and former vice-presidential nominee of the Republican Party One so fraught with pain in Jewish history (January 13 2011)

Sarah Louise Palin the 46 year old former Governor of Alaska and former vice-presidential nominee of the Republican Party and potential 2012 presidential nominee, has become the centre of attention in the aftermath of the Tucson shootings involving a political opponent Gabrielle Giffords. Palin used ‘crosshairs’ on a campaign poster during recent political campaigning to target Giffords district, with accusations now being made that she may have unwittingly inspired the shooter. Palin retaliated to the accusations describing them as a ‘blood libel’, a term referencing the persecution of European Jews through superstition that Jews needed the heathen blood for ritual sacrifices. Palin’s use of this term has resulted in even greater outrage.
