The White House has brushed aside an offer by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to meet with President Obama later this month, Israeli officials told Fox News. The apparent snub came despite a state of heightened alert over Irans nuclear program and the possibility of Israeli action.
Sources said Netanyahu, though he plans to be in New York City during his brief stay, was offering to travel to D.C. to make the meeting happen. However, the White House apparently said Obamas tight schedule the president is in the middle of a feverish campaign schedule -- would make a meeting difficult.
The turn-down comes amid increasing international anxiety about Irans nuclear program. The U.N. reportedly has found new intelligence showing Iran is moving toward nuclear weapon capability.
But the exchange between the White House and the prime ministers office is the most recent in what is seen as a cool, if not strained, relationship between Obama and Netanyahu, despite Israel being considered one of the United States closest allies.
One well-placed Jewish-American leader told Fox News that the White House has not yet fully ruled out moving things around on the schedule in order to accommodate Netanyahu but that as of now, Obama is scheduled to be on the campaign trail during the window of time when Netanyahu can make it to Washington.
excerpt
“The JEWS of the USA hate the Jews of Israel”
Bit strong of a statement.
More like too many are indifferent.
Why is Netanyahu trying to meet with the enemy?
Too busy for Israeli PM counterpart
This president is egomaniac
Natanyahu seems to be in Jerusalem today.
And this happens on September 11th, too.
The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.
This certainly sounds like Israel was going to tell him they’re about to attack. If that’s the case, I’m glad obama didn’t meet with him. If he tells obama anything obama will warn all the muslim nations.
By not meeting with Net it also gives him cover. He can say he had no idea Israel was about to attack.
The effect is the same.
No word of this on the web...
The bombing should start in 5 minutes
I also keep thinking of aliyah.
If Zero is re-elected I’d much rather be in Israel.
wow, that was exactly my first thought too
“...Half of the public hates Jews and/or the USA...”
I think it’s more that half of the public is too stupid and ignorant to care - remember Rome’s bread and circus to keep the plebians content to be ruled? Well, now it’s the sports, and all the electronics (Facebook, utube, realistic video games) and government freebies that act as giant pacifiers so that half just don’t care. It is SOO sad - the apathy shown by these so called Americans to not properly inform thenselves is heart breaking.
Israel just wanted to announce they are about to bomb Iran to see how long it taked obamma mamba jamma lenin khomeini to leak it..
However, the president cleared his schedule to welcome the Muslim Brotherhood president of Egypt.
That is certainly a possibility.
We have left our ally with no other option that I can see but to utterly decimate Iran.
I cannot believe we have turned our back on them.
We, the country who defeated Adolf Hitler, is now an ally of Adolf Hitler.
I am so disgusted, I am at a loss for words to describe how I feel about my country.
There don’t seem to be words strong enough to qualify,
I think I’ll just remain silent.
Not a surprise, I was in Israel in mid June for my sisters wedding, Israelis DESPISE Obama, they know that he is dangerous. I have family in Israel they are praying that Romney wins(They know he is Pro Israel) Id like to ask again, Jews, how the hell can you continue to vote for this Anti Israel jackass!
