In many of his pictures he has his hands on his hips, almost an attempt to call attention to his ballet background with a dancer's stance. Here he looks like a bouncer or an enforcer, as he often does. In any photo Rahm is the one who looks the most posed.

He is standing closer to one flag than the other, which is the other flag? It isn't clear who Rahm is closed to. Rham is not centered.

The hypocrisy of the Israelis never ceases to amaze me. Well, Rahm’s look is certainly the one I would give the jerk.

Can't they see that the more suffering and misery they cause the Palestinians, the more backlash there is going to be against them from the rest of the entire middle east forever and ever? Haven't we played this horrible game long enough? Isn't it time to try something different? Treating any group of people as subhuman and denying them basic dignity and well-being is a morally indefensible position -- even if, nay, especially if your own group was the victim in the recent past. Obama may just be the right guy to take the extremely polarized conflict and find a middle ground. (Both group will probably be upset at first, until they get a taste of the peace it can bring.) Obama can't afford to take the hard-line Israeli path, as he's been visibly reaching out to the arab world and wants to keep that hand extended. Netanyahu must be wondering how AIPAC let this guy become president! What, you mean this guy's not in our pocket?? WTF? Our best buddy, Israel.. the untouchable sacred cow..
