CALL THIS ONE THE "Baracktifada"

The L.A. Times reports:

Rising political and religious tensions in Jerusalem spilled into the streets Tuesday with a string of clashes between Palestinians and Israeli police that left more than 100 people injured.

In scenes reminiscent of past uprisings, dozens of Palestinian youths, some with scarves masking their faces, pelted police with rocks, blocked roads and burned tires in half a dozen neighborhoods around East Jerusalem.

Tuesday's protests were part of a "Day of Rage" called for by Palestinian leaders in response to the recent reopening of a historic synagogue in the Old City.

And they were undoubtedly encouraged by the anti-Israeli harangues of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden.
