Netanyahu Cancels White House Visit Set For Tomorrow Over Gaza Flotilla Incident
Monday, May 31, 2010 | Kristinn

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is canceling a scheduled meeting with Barack Obama at the White House tomorrow to return to Israel to deal with the fallout of the raid by Israeli forces to enforce the Gaza blockade on a flotilla of ships trying to run the blockade, MSNBC reports.

Netanyahu is in Canada today. YNET News reports he is cutting his trip short in Canada to leave for Israel.

Obama offering advice. The best joke line of the day. Obama couldnt pour piss from a boot if the instructions were printed on the heel.
Thanks for a good laugh on a hot day.

I believe you have it right. Although I can understand why Netanyahu needs to go home immediately to deal with a growing crisis, there is no doubt that the last thing the Administration wants is a picture of Netanyahu meeting with Obama.

Only if she plays golf, though.

This is right out of the terrorist book; draw fire, lie, play the victim, and get world support. I hate these bastards. I had no doubt that as soon as Israel tried to board the boats, they were walking into a trap.

“Honestly, I almost prefer us having hostile relations with Israel than the pukingly fake smiles we used to see on the face of Doleeza and whoever was in charge 5-6 years ago.”

What are you talking about?!

Under the Bush administration Israel was treated as the strong ally they were. Bush admin refused to dignify the NPT by attending, because he knew they are just trying to gang up on Israel. Obama, on the other hand actually signed on to the NPT, with the goal of disarming Israel.

That’s a good observation. Personally, I think the United States and Israel have many common interests, but if our leaders don’t think so, they shouldn’t pretend.

Not exactly. They are now just forced to not depend on other nations and people. Never thought I'd see the world this way.

I did. We're not in Revelations. Therefore I concluded that we had to be out-of-play for the Final Battle.

Ditto. But they are prepared.

That is very smart. Zero just wants to embarrass him again. Screw Zero, he has no class.

Now the AP is all over this story and only telling about half of it. Their template is that the Israelis “stormed” the lead ship and randomly opened fire.

Nevermind the fact that IDF soldiers had to be life-flighted to a hospital and specifically omited was the video they show does not show the naval officer telling the “floatilla” they were given safe passage to the open port to unload and verify their cargo.

The response from the lead ship was negative, negative, we will only go to Gaza.

Refuse to support the insurrection in Iran, side with the UN against Israel, snub Bibi when he comes to visit. Is there any doubt which side Obama is on? Will Americans finally get it?

after our support of a nuclear free Middle Eastin the UN last week and the ramifications that has for Israel, i would rather that Israel wait out the last 2 years of this administration and hope for a return to a friendly Israel policy in the next administration.

Obama supports lawlessness. He is right at the head of the line. Palestinian teachers and school children were dancing in the streets, when they learned that twin towers were bombed with airplanes in New York City, and nearly 3,000 people were killed. Obama is really a low life. How could Americans be such fools? How? We have brought the enemy into the USA government.

Good for Bibi!! God Bless Israel.

I’m sure Zero ordered Bibi’s meeting to be with the White House cleaning staff anyway. No big deal to miss the next insult from this Thug Regime. Meanwhile, Rahm is still praying for his soul at the Wall in Israel while stabbing Israel in the back. Typical for a Kapo.

Rahm can keep praying but I doubt it will help.
