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.”

How can the Jewish people be so smart as a culture and yet vote for Obama? Do they have a death wish? It has happened before.
I give credit to Obama for showing what an anti-Semite he is. I am sick of both Jews and Muslims voting Democrat. I am also tired of Jews (at least the vast majority of them) aligning with Democrats every time they want to attack Christianity (eg: Passion of the Christ, prayer in school, etc.). It’s time for Jews to decide who is truly their friend and who is their deadly enemy. If they still can’t see it, they must be cursed with blindness!
Obi shall hire such thugs to join his brown shirts in due time.
Makes one wonder why the Jewish vote still goes heavily for Democrats.
Great message and suggestion Bellflower. Message sent.
Much of Congress, where Bibi has heavy support, is cheering Bibi on.
The Hamster wants Bibi away from the hill, and is starting to sound shrill
Bibi is the new leader of the Free Western World. Obama? Is Bumpkiss.
Zero, the Regime leader, is going to drag his like-minded Liberal cohorts in this Regime and this Congress down with him.
What a disgrace. And he will send in our troops to die for it? Only a matter of time.Horrible.
