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.

Different words to convey the same meaning: “He’s a goof with nothing to contribute.”

I agree with you about the women. Zero is very ghey.

[Uncle Miltie]

Heck, he should cancel on the pinciple of not meeting with your enemies.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I love the smell of fake outrage in the morning by terrorist countries. Hypocrites. I am sure the United Nations will be OUTRAGED, as well.

Freakin pisses me off

Now if Obama was to pull our troops out of Iraq and put them in Israel to help Netanyahu in his defense of Israel....but I dream on.

[Mr. Mojo]

Honestly, I almost prefer us having hostile relations with Israel...

If you were completely honest you wouldn't have used the word 'almost'.

Great news, in the current climate, Bibi probably couldn't even be sure he could visit the White House and emerge alive after a visit with those Chicago-thugs.

But on another topic, I've got a great way to plug that oil leak in the Gulf, let's just stuff 0BAMA into the hole, because he's so full o' crap that he ought to be able to jam that well up in a matter of minutes!

[CapedConservative]

He’s not cancelling because of the “flotilla incident”... he’s cancelling because the US sided with the UN AGAINST Israel on the resolution to make the mid-east a nuclear free zone.

It is sad, deeply troubling, but not surprising this Administration has fostered so much discontent with Israel.

That bubble butt is from another planet

[grand wazoo]

Did Bibi or Obama cancel the visit?

The Israelis really stepped in it this time. They are going to feel the effects of this decision for a long time.

That butt IS another planet!!!! LOL

Ironically, Obama’s stance of appeasing these terrorist supporters might actually TRIGGER the war, not prevent one.

I don't think there's anything ironic about it, I am convinced it is the plan. He's been been sending Hamas over 20 million a week since his 1st week, has now comitted over one billion through the State Department, and has been engaged in a running war of words and actions meant to rebuke and weaken Israel.

He's abandoned Israel and paid off her enemies.

It's just a matter of when.

Now the _resident can meet with the Arizona Gov., right?

DING DING DING !!! WE HAVE A WINNER !!!

In addition to the situation w/Turkey, Bibi is also using this opportunity to indirectly tell the WH muslim that respect goes both ways.

[soycd]

There is no way that picture is real. No way.

Netanyahu and Obama spoke by phone and agreed to reschedule:

White House officials said Obama and Netanyahu talked by phone Monday morning. In a statement, officials said Obama "understood the Prime Minister's decision to return immediately to Israel to deal with today's events. They agreed to reschedule their meeting at the first opportunity."

[devere]

Bibi should permanently cancel White House visits until Obama has left.

[grand wazoo]

That’s called spin/PR.
