In the hubbub surrounding the “battle of the flotilla,” Netanyahu’s quick reversal of his decision to remain in the United States has been largely ignored. It turns out that Obama told him to leave because he didn’t want Netanyahu to use the White House as a stage on which to present Israel’s side of the story.
The flotilla violence caught Netanyahu in the midst of a diplomatic trip to North America. He was in the Canadian capital of Ottawa at the time, about to leave for Washington for a meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama. The meeting was to have been a way for Obama to make up for the humiliation he dealt Netanyahu on his last visit, when he refused to be seen with the Israeli leader in public.
Netanyahu announced immediately after the flotilla news broke that he would remain in North America and would meet with Obama as scheduled. However, within minutes after media reported Netanyahu would continue with his trip as scheduled, he abruptly announced a change of plan and set off immediately for Israel to “deal with the flotilla crisis.”
Behind the scenes, it was Obama officials who caused the turnabout. Globes cites sources in both Jerusalem and Washington who say that Obama officials gave a clear message to Netanyahu’s people: “Don’t come.”

Don't bet the farm on it. American Jews tend to be fairly hardened liberal Democrats (by and large).

After this incredible slap in the face, they just may.
Great find! Thanks for posting that link.
Just freaking wow...
I agree with that. I've said for a long time that she's already the de facto head of the center-right, conservative segment of our people.
There's no question that she is ten times the commander as the Bozo sitting at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
From what I know of Bibi, I would have rather had him as president than even GWB. At the very least, he's got balls, and would have built the dang fence.
Good call.
I'm becoming convinced that the big showdown is coming up in the next act, and there won't be an intermission.
Forget the popcorn.....lock and load.
Bibi’s brother, the leader of the raid on Entebbe, was the only raider killed in that raid.
Google the ancient Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times", to get the context of the poster's intent.
Might as well put my money where my mouth is.
Please add me to your list.
Yes, I know that story. Hard to believe that Israel was blessed with TWO patriots of Bibi's caliber. I'm sure that Bibi's brother is revered by Israelis to this very day.
Thank you for showing us Reality. Second reality is that the enemies of Israel aim to destroy all of us as well. When that sinks into the thick skulls of the useful idiots in the USA, we will all be better off and can start preparing for it.
went with NY city Jewish girl and she was alright.
We moved on andmet up some years later, she married this guy a big big Jewish bigot who still to this day will nto buy Germany products and will not talk to Germans.
He’s also a biog big rat who moved to chappaqua to be near the Clintons
This girl and I were talking about the election just before bozo got in and I pointed out how he is very radical, veryu pro Islam etc
she told me that I need to read the huff post.
I told her that it was very biased
She then said I was NAZI, right wing thug etc etc, this from a girl who I have had fights on the streets when in Boston protecting her from the bigoted left wing shouting anti israeli, zionest comments.
She went on to tell me that the NAZIS used to say the media is biased and that is why I am one.
She also told me that bozo would be a better friend to Israel than McCain
I know I nearly fainted after that comment.
I’ve not talked ot her since that day, even though she has sent me e-mails saying hope all is well etc
she can piss off, she’s turned into a bid ;left wing kook
I’ve found that out believe me, just what will wake them up is what I’m asking.
The far left have teamed up with anti American anti Israeli bigots and are aiding the musliims to carry on Hitlers work
Will do! See you on tomorrow’s Thread!
WOW! Thanks for posting!
Well then, it seems her golden boy Obozo is a NAZI and a left wing thug for accusing Fox News of bias. Libs have no basis for their arguments and expose themselves when they out their source as HuffnPuff....lol. That’s deserves a big laugh in the face right there and I am sure you are better off with that Nazi supporting thug as a friend.
I don’t think I’ve said f-you this many times to anyone, even clinton who I hate!
