Define "riot gear" (or "anti-riot gear").

Specifically what did they want to use that they didn't (apart from tear gas).

If there is an American Jew that can still vote for this guy, they must really hate themselves and their relatives in Israel.

How does Obama stop Israel from doing anything?

Why, oh why, would Israel pay any attention to any such micro-management by the 2nd Cahtuh administration?

Israel needs to put Mossad to work getting the goods on the anti-Semite in chief. No political hack from Chicago can stand an in-depth investigation. They need him out of office as much as our nation does.

"Obama told Erdogan 'Don't rock the boat too much. We'll take care of business,'" another diplomatic source said. "It was a very friendly message."

Well, I don't know how reliable this report is, but it sure doesn't sound improbable.

Wouldn't it be better if Israel communicated with Obama in a way he can understand? Tell him plainly, "We will "kick anybody's ass" who threatens our nation." It's language he can better relate to.

I found this hard to believe ... until I checked the editorial board of this publication.
Bill Gertz is an extremely connected and very trustworthy individual. If he passed this for print, I have to believe it. And it only enhances my already VERY LOW opinion of Ehud Barak.
It also confirms my opinion that obama himself was in on this from the git go.
Barak is from the left. He needs to go...NOW!
