Via Andrew Sullivan, this Al Jazeera report on how Israelis in Jerusalem feel about Barack Obama--feelings are mixed, but at least one interviewee suggests he should be assassinated:
I think what I find remarkable is the one guy who accused Obama of being a Muslim and of being naive about "the Arab mentality." I mean I supposed those aren't mutually exclusive, but if the idea is that Obama is Muslim and therefore is about helping Arabs instead of Jews, doesn't that suggest that he understands whatever sinister motives they supposedly have, and that's why he's helping them in the first place?
Racism rarely makes real sense, so it doesn't matter if the beliefs contradict one another.
