"(US President Barack) Obama is a racist," said Rabbi Eliezer Waldman, the head of the "Nir" yeshiva in the West Bank town of Kiryat Arba.

Waldman was speaking during a mass rally held Monday evening at Jerusalem's Paris Square in protest of the American demand that Israel halt all construction in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.

About 1,000 settlers and right-wing activists, including Knesset members Uri Ariel, Michael Ben-Ari (both from the National Union party) and David Rotem (Yisrael Beiteinu), marched towards the US Consulate, carrying torches and calling for US special envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell to "go home."

"How dare he (Obama) tell the Jews where they can or can't live? The era when Jews were banned from living in different places has ended," said Rabbi Waldman.

"Obama beware. This insolence will bring about the downfall of the American leadership," he said. "Anyone who dares give an order to prevent Israeli life in Jerusalem or anywhere else in the Land of Israel is destined to fall."

3. "Obama is a racist" is a serious case of projection.

It's a veritable litmus test for incurable racism and authoritarianism.

5. the more americans who see this the better

look how appreciative they are for all the US does for them.

7. Sadly, they're right on one point.

The current drive for peace in the ME seems to be coming more from Obama personally than from a wider movement in the Democratic party, and Obama's political power has a 7 1/2 year time limit on it.

10. A bunch of dangerous RW loonies!

They don't pose much danger to Obama. But they do pose some danger to their own country and, of course, to the Palestinians.

and equally dangerous.
