Rightists launch anti-Obama campaign

The world is focusing on the possibility of a new era of peacemaking in the Middle East led by Barack Obama. Will he be able to advocate and implement the two state solution? what are his motives behind reconciliating with the Muslim world? and Why has Osama Bin Laden no 2 criminalised him in a video tape? Is this president too inexperienced and untested driving the world into a collaterate collapse? Well, we will find out in coming days or months.

Questions have been raised in Jerusalem that Obama is interfering too much into Israeli politics. Does he wants to bring down the Likud Government led by Bibi. Right-wing activists in Israel launched a campaign to counter the American efforts by trying to portray Obama as an anti-Semite whose policies would harm the Jewish state. Approximately 200 right-wing activists demonstrated outside the American Consulate in Jerusalem on Wednesday evening, shouting the slogan, "Obama! No! No you can't!," and protesting recent statements made by US officials criticizing the continued expansion of West Bank settlements.

Over the coming days, the activists plan to intensify their campaign by hanging posters throughout the country of the US president wearing a kaffiyeh, 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 organization, which is backing the protests, said in a statement that "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."

"From the moment that he entered the White House, we have been feeling anti-Semitism and hatred towards Israel," the statement continued. "We have a number of plans, among which are demonstrations in the US and protests in front of the consulate and houses of the ambassadors."
