From Jerusalem Post. Imagine an Afrikaaner getting an invite from Reagan at the height of apartheid.

When British Embassy in Israel made a mistake of inviting the representative of the settlers, they got such a bollocking from members of the parliament and subsequently by Foreign Office that they will not forget it a hurry.

"One time I was in the IDF, and another time I wanted to study," he told The Jerusalem Post on Monday. While he voted against Obama, Lang said: "He doesn't have a lot of experience, but he could learn, and we'll have to learn who he is."

Lang, who has serious learning disabilities, served in an IDF tank unit and then in military intelligence.

That was really nasty from the author of this article.

Okay now. Not to be completely full of shit but…have you seen that guy's face ? Looks like he's straight from Vandamme's Universal Soldier. He looks SCARY. Of course he might be a very nice man, inside…

But Lang [...] thinks that US President George W. Bush "wants to destroy Israel," voted by absentee ballot for Republican presidential candidate John McCain.

Lang looks like Rudolf Hess.

as much as i don't like the idea of him coming, he hasn't been "invited"… he got an invitation by default because of some youth congress.

"Five years ago, Lang was one of only nine Israelis and 350 young people worldwide selected as a member of the Congressional Youth Leadership Council's Global Young Leaders Conference in Washington and New York.

This entitles him to be invited to attend the University Presidential Inaugural Conference (UPIC) in Washington as well as Obama's inauguration."
