West Bank Settlers Scorn Obama’s Push for a Freeze (Obama called "racist", "anti-Semite")
New York Times ^ | July 29, 2009 | Ethan Bronner

NERIA, West Bank — In this land of endless history and ethereal beauty, several thousand Jewish settlers gathered on a dozen West Bank hills with makeshift huts and Israeli flags over several days this week to mark an invented anniversary and defy the American president, conveying to his aides visiting Jerusalem what they thought of his demand for a settlement freeze.

...

“We are rebuilding the land of Israel,” Rabbi Yigael Shandorfi, leader of a religious academy at the neighboring settlement outpost of Nahliel, said during the ceremony. “Our hope is that there will be roads, electricity and water.” The message to President Obama, he said, is that this is Jewish land. He did not use the president’s name, but an insulting Hebrew slang for a black man and the phrase “that Arab they call a president.”

None of the hundreds gathered — mostly couples with large families, but also armed young men and teenagers from other outposts — objected. Yitzhak Shadmi, leader of the regional council of settlements, said Mr. Obama was a racist and anti-Semite for his assertion that Jews should not build here, but Arabs could.

Mr. Shadmi said the ceremonies across the West Bank this week honored a moment in 1946 when Zionists established 11 settlements in the northern Negev of Palestine in defiance of the British rulers before Israel was created. It was important for the new outposts to be established while Washington’s emissaries were visiting, he said. George J. Mitchell, the special envoy for the Middle East, who is pressing the settlement freeze, was in the West Bank at the start of the week.

The man deserves a beer at the White House, it's the American way. Besides, he's right as to the policy Obama advocates, segregation.

They should tell America to get lost while the Mossad finds Obamanazi’s birth certificate.

Sadly, the occupant of our White House is a racist and anti-Semite. I just pray that the United States (and Israel) will survive our four years under this thug and both emerge as free countries.

How about this, Omoslem:

“Jews cannot live in Manhattan between 14th Street and 17th Street.”

“Jews cannot live in Washington DC between “M” street and Prospect Street.”

“Jews cannot live in Los Angeles, south of Sunset Blvd, and west of Fairfax Blvd.”

Or maybe we skip all that, and go right to this:

“Moslem usurpers cannot live at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.”
