Monday outside the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv could be a sign that Jews have begun taking some pages from the Muslim protesters' book. The event's organizers say they have prepared a large effigy of U.S. President Barack Obama, which protesters will hurl shoes at to protest the way Obama is “stepping all over us.”
The activists accuse the US of “blackmailing” Israel's leaders, "violating agreements" and lacking even “an ounce of regard towards the safety of Israeli citizens.”
In fact, it is this connection that inspires us to protest the current American policy – before the situation deteriorates and this connection ends.
The organizers' Hebrew language Facebook page features videos from yet another unconventional Tel Aviv protest that employed Arab-style techniques: the July demonstration outside Turkey's Tel Aviv embassy, in which a Turkish flag was allegedly set on fire. Rumors at the time said that the active nucleus behind the protest was a group of soccer team fans.
