What Obama Saw in Israel
Like a beggar showing off his amputated limbs - Haaretz - Israel News: "Take the next Obama to Tel Aviv: Show him its vivid night life, and arrange for him to meet with writers, scientists and intellectuals. Show him the Iscar plant and take him to a performance by the Batsheva dance troupe. This will be far more impressive than any piece of rusting Qassam. Take him to a concert, a show, an exhibit, an Israeli movie. Most of all, let's refrain from voices of angst - both ours and his. Enough with sobbing in this country, already."
