I came across a poster online this morning that I thought might provoke some comments. It certainly provoked me.

130 right wing Israelis, members of a group called Hazit, photoshopped a picture of President Obama, placing a keffiyah on his head. Alongside this image of him on the poster they wrote “Barack Hussein Obama, Anti-Semitic Jew-hater.”

Just as I was fuming and formulating a response in my head, I found this comment, posted by “Sane Jew in Israel.” I think I’ll let his words stand on their own:

“Obama will probably make history as one of the finest American presidents as well as one of the best friends Israel ever had. If we don`t have the power to rid ourselves of this lunatic racist religous zealotry which is rotting our conscience and decency as a people and a nation then Obama will do it for us. Obama is in my prayers as the best friend the Jewish People could ever have. If I have to protest on his behalf against these “Anti-Semitic so called Jewish Ayatollas, then there are thousands among thousands of Jews in this country who will stand beside me. Yes we can free ourselves of this self destructive occupation. Yes we can!”
