The "Teh" Party
Likud Party activists in Israel have set up a protest movement against the peace process modeled after the tea party movement in the United States.
"The Israeli group will hold a rally Sunday at the Zionist Organization of America House in Tel Aviv, under the banner 'Saying No to Obama,' where they plan to protest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's policy and the American pressure on Israel to renew the settlement construction freeze," reports Haaretz.
Members of the Knesset -- Israel's parliament -- who are participating in the rally believe an Israeli-style tea party will counter the pressure being applied to Israel's rulers by Obama, who has called for a settlement-building freeze.
