Chanting "No, you can't!" and waving signs bearing messages in a similar vein, nearly 200 people held a demonstration outside the US Consulate on the capital's Rehov Agron on Wednesday evening, protesting the growing American pressure to stop construction in West Bank settlements.

"Mr. Obama, we started demonstrating 16 years ago," said Rabbi Shalom Gold, the founder of Kehillat Zichron Ya'acov in Jerusalem's Har Nof neighborhood, alluding to the early days of the Oslo Accords. "You were in your '30s and you probably didn't know the first thing about Eretz Yisrael... but we're part of God's divine plan, we're here and we're staying here!"

Over the coming days, activists plan to hang posters throughout the country of Obama wearing a keffiyeh, flanked by the words, "Anti-Semite," and "Jew-hater," written in red in both English and Hebrew. Another poster published by the campaign shows Obama shaking hands with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad against a background of a mushroom cloud from a nuclear explosion.

The Jewish National Front, which is backing the protests, said in a statement: "We decided to launch a campaign against the president of the United States and to say that Barack Hussein Obama is bad for the Jews."

6. One could say the same thing about people here

Everyone on this board hates the democratic Israeli Prime Minister. Why would you expect people of a foreign country to love your president? It's not an automatic thing. They didn't get to vote for him yet he seems to spend an inordinate amount of time telling Israelis what they need to do. Why should they love him for that?

7. No one here does, and neither do most Israelis...

these loonies represent Israel as much as the BNP represents Britain.

3. No I am not a fucking anti-semite

I just wish the bloody semites could get along for fifteen minutes at a time. Obama has more patience than I.

4. Part of God's divine plan eh?

This is going to backfire on them badly. By doing this--they reveal their true colors.

I'm not going to presume to know what God's plan is, but I will say this, if it is God's plan to see land gained through loss of life, war and pain. If it is God's plan to allow rockets to rain down on people, if it is God's plan to allow his subjects to invent new and creative ways to torture, maim, ruin, and kill people.....that is not a God I would pray to, and I cannot reconcile this with the sense of overwhelming awe and gratitude I feel when watching a sunrise, a bird take flight, or a simple flower burst open with optimistic color.
Part of God's plan....HOW DARE THEY!
