While American Leftists foam at the mouth over events in Indiana, Israeli Leftists are also in a rage:

Via Israel National News: Leftist Campaign: No More Charity, the Poor Vote Likud

The latest trend among leftists who were shocked by their defeat at the polls…is an apparently spontaneous campaign called “Don’t Give,” which calls on people to stop donating to the poorer Israelis and the socio-economically weaker regions known as “the periphery,” because these Israelis insist on voting for Likud, in election after election.

The campaign’s name in Hebrew, Lo Latet, is a reference to Latet (“To Give”), a major charity group that collects donations for the needy.

“As the holiday of Pesach approaches, I would like to remind you that there are hundreds of people who have no way of celebrating,” wrote one Lo Latet poster. “It’s important that you do not give them a single shekel.”

He added sarcastically: “After all, elected a government that will change their situation, so why interfere and ruin things? Happy holiday!

“Pesach” is Hebrew for “Passover,” which begins Friday night.

    There was a day when only property owners could vote. And Jews couldn’t own property. What’s that Passover story again?

    Are you sure Obama doesn’t have his claws in this?
