Protesters Greet Obama in Jerusalem
Israelis Understand Obama's Holy Landapalooza Was to- "Impress Jewish Voters"
With a long history of associating with well known Jew-haters and attending a Jew-hating Church for 20 years, Obama wisely chose to campaign in Israel today.
But, not all Jews were buying the staged political pop.

Obama's campaigning continued today in Israel--
But, the Jews aren't buying it.
Haaretz is reporting this on Obama's romp through Israel:
Barack Hussein Obama - with his Muslim stepfather and his childhood in Indonesia, his suggestion to meet with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the leftist image that adheres to his advisors - has raised deep anxieties among the Jewish establishment. Republicans sensed a massive defection of Jewish voters. Obama's campaign managers have identified it as a problem and their candidate has been working on calming things down and issuing pro-Israel statements. McCain visited Sderot and expressed his support for Israel. Obama will follow in his footsteps Wednesday, as the city is experiencing a rare moment of lull. But Obama will also have a chance to denounce terror in real time: Tuesday's bulldozer terror attack took place next to his hotel in Jerusalem.
To the Israeli establishment, McCain seems like the natural choice. With his white hair, expression lines and combat experience, he embodies the Israeli concept of leadership - a kind of American version of Yitzhak Rabin or Ariel Sharon. If McCain continues Bush's policies, Israel will benefit from the term of another U.S. president who understands its needs.
