Report: Clinton and Obama Pulled 'Bait and Switch' on Netanyahu

As Israel waits for a letter clarifying America's guarantees in exchange for a proposed building ban for Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria, a diplomatic source has come forward saying that no such letter is on its way. United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton misled Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, and contrary to reports, the U.S. does not guarantee an end to the freeze, the source said.

The source, a senior diplomat with inside knowledge of Netanyahu's recent meetings in Washington, said Clinton made commitments when talking to Netanyahu, but later slipped out of them by claiming that she had not been speaking on behalf of U.S. President Obama – who, she said in the end, did not give his approval.

When Netanyahu called the State Department to clarify America's position, officials expressed surprise at his surprise, the source continued. While Clinton made promises, Netanyahu knew from the beginning that Obama has the final word, they allegedly said.

Clinton had told Netanyahu that the proposed construction freeze would last for three months, and that it would end regardless of whether or not there was progress in talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. After that, she said, America would not push for a third building freeze.

However, according to the diplomat, U.S. leaders have since said that the building ban for Jews in Judea and Samaria would only end if Israel and the PA reached an agreement on the borders of a proposed PA state.

Several other American promises have been called into question as well.

The Israeli's were very wise to demand a letter!

Bibi and other key Israeli leaders would be wiser yet to tape record such conversations. This way, at least the people in their own government would know exactly what transpired.

Of course, releasing such a blatant lie to the public would really make the liar toast, though it could only be done once and would likely result in very bad relations for a while...still, it might be worth it to expose the utter duplicity.

"The Israeli's were very wise to demand a letter!"

I'm thinking they just did that to force the U.S. to tip it's hand.

I seriously doubt they believe either Hitlery or Obambi...

Bibi, after being promised Pollard at WYE, should know the Clinton’s are liars. I do hope he knows what he is doing

I think so.

I still think she is going to run.

The weaker Obama looks the stronger she gets.

No they are the Kapos. They would help the Palis march the Isreali jews into the nearest Gas chamber. If they could keep their belongings.

Well, so much for the F-35’s...

It is not stealth, but I am sure the Israeli's would modify the snaught out of it and make it a good airplane, the Saab Grippen. it might be a nice way to say up yours to Oboingo

...and yet, the Palestinians haven’t seen any of Hillary’s or 0bama’s promises betrayed.

It’s almost as if all promises to Palis are kept, while no promise to Israel is kept, but it couldn’t be that, right?!

It could mean that Hillary is a liar.

It could mean she is not capable of adhering to the President’s position on Israel when speaking as a representative for him to Israel.

Or it could mean dear reader is a petty tyrant acting out from mood to mood and just decided he really, really hates Israel when he woke up that morning.

It’s happened a few times before. That’s why I don’t think this F-35 thing is ever going to work( four years dangling a carrot on a stick? Possibly LOSE the contract? happened before. No dice ). Our US government screws israel way more than it’s screwed the American Indian’s on treaties. Netanyahu should just start building. There should be a tape recording somewhere. Any uprising, well, it’s going to happen, so israel will deal with it. it’s completely obvious which corner Obama is in; Israel may as well move on.

BUMP to all that you wrote. Hits the nail on the head.

Islam will continue to raise hell until Israel no longer exists. And that ain’t gonna happen.
