Sermon at Palin's church: Israelis punished by God for not being Christian

Given the intense media attention paid to controversial statements from the pulpit of Obama's church (usually when Obama was not in attendance), why so little coverage so far of a bizarre statement about Israeli Jewish deaths at Palin's church just two weeks ago (with Palin present)?

According to reporter Ben Smith in Politico , citing a transcript on the Church's website, a leader of Jews for Jesus named David Brickner gave the guest sermon Aug 17 at the Wasila Bible Church. Jews for Jesus is a group that seeks to convert Jews to Christianity.

Brickner also described terrorist attacks on Israelis as God's "judgment of unbelief" of Jews who haven't embraced Christianity.

"Judgment is very real and we see it played out on the pages of the newspapers and on the television. It's very real. When [Brickner's son] was in Jerusalem he was there to witness some of that judgment, some of that conflict, when a Palestinian from East Jerusalem took a bulldozer and went plowing through a score of cars, killing numbers of people. Judgment — you can't miss it."

Palin was in church that day, Kroon [Palin's minister--jc] said, though he cautioned against attributing Brickner’s views to her.
