In the hubbub surrounding the battle of the flotilla, Netanyahus 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 didnt want Netanyahu to use the White House as a stage on which to present Israels 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 Netanyahus people: Dont come.

FOAD Obama.
FYI ping
Are we going to have one hell of a mess to clean up with Israel once the Obozo’s gone...assuming there is an Israel because of him.
Allah forbid, Brother Obamah be seen with the Joooos.
Oh there will be a Israel. The question is will there be a US.
This will not bode well, god will punish us for leaving Israel twisting in the wind.
Obama is a national disgrace. Every single day, another affront.
Sarah should invite to her house.
Flotilla passengers: Go back to Auschwitz
Audio: IDF soldiers warn flotilla vessels they are nearing area under naval blockade, latter respond with anti-Semitic slurs

The IDF released on Friday an audio reproduction of the moments before Monday’s raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla.
In it, the soldiers can be heard warning the flotilla that its vessels are nearing an area under naval blockade. They are answered by calls of “Go back to Auschwitz” and “Don’t forget 9/11 guys”.

Outrageous! Unconscionable.

We are living in interesting times.
“Globes cites sources in both Jerusalem and Washington who say that Obama officials gave a clear message to Netanyahus people: Dont come.
Officials in both Washington and Jerusalem deny that this was the case.”
So, “un-named sources”?
I don’t necessarily doubt it, but a little sourcing might make it a more believable story.
Maybe Bambi is the one needing to go home, for the benefit of America?
Why would Netanyahu ever return to the White Hut again? As I recall, the last time he was there, he was shown the exit before dinner.
THAT is a GREAT, GREAT idea! Take a bow!
“humantarian” peace-lovers, eh??
