“Based on my personal acquaintance with Governor Palin, I can confidently say that if she is elected, the Jewish people and the State of Israel will have a great friend and admirer in the White House,” Greenberg told the Israeli daily Haaretz.

A few years ago, during her tenure as mayor of Wasilla, Greenberg said Palin had a good relationship with the city’s Jewish community.

When they dedicated a new synagogue, she attended the ceremony, though the congregation hadn’t thought to invite her.

As governor, she passed a resolution in May during Israel’s 60th Anniversary celebration, affirming Alaska’s support of the Jewish state.

“She’s a very impressive woman with a dedicated sense of purpose,” Greenberg said, adding that “she is constantly working for the greater good.”
