Rightists to circulate doctored photos of kaffiyah-clad Obama

200 right-wing activists demonstrate outside American Consulate in Jerusalem in protest of growing pressure to halt settlement construction; extremists to circulate doctored photos of US president in Arab headdress and shaking Ahmadinejad's hand

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3725938,00.html

<snip>

"Doctored photos of US President Barack Obama wearing a kaffiyah (traditional Arab headdress) with a caption reading "Jew-hating anti-Semite" will be circulated in the coming days by Israeli right-wing activists in protest of the growing US pressure on Israel to halt settlement activity, even that which is attributed to "natural growth."

The activists, Ynet has learned, plan to circulate another doctored photo showing Obama shaking hands with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad against the backdrop of a nuclear explosion. The heading reads "Yes, We Can."

The photos may be distributed in the US as well."

6. They've got some CRAZYASS wingnuts over there.

Don't forget, it was a wingnut who assassinated Yitzhak Rabin.

And they're real, there are too many of them, and they cause trouble, too: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3320266,00.html

8. So they do. After all, someone had to vote for Lieberman's party.

Everyone seems to have their wingnuts - please keep your fingers crossed that the Europaean variety don't make too much headway in tomorrow's Euro-elections.

9. The scariest thing is that, among Israelis under 25, Lieberman's fascist party WON.

Not by much, and the majority voted for other parties, but it's still a scary sign.

3. What? Ynet isn't endorsing this?

Huh. Must be an off day or something.
