To have Palin use the term within the context she has is insensitive and ignorant. If I were Jewish, I would be deeply offended by her remark. I have Jewish friends, and although I haven't talked about this with them, I am inclined to be angry at her myself for her cheapening the gravity of such a concept that to this day remains a dire situation to some people (and their families) who are close to me .
As I said, Palin knows no shame.
