Obama Declines to Meet Netanyahu, PM Nixes Trip
Israel National News ^ | March 7, 2016 | David Rosenberg

Posted on 03/07/2016 1:54:40 PM PST by JOHN ADAMS

President Obama foregoes meeting with Netanyahu in favor of flight to Cuba for first US presidential trip since 1920s.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has canceled his annual trip to the United States after President Barack Obama declined to schedule a meeting with him.

Netanyahu had planned a visit to the US coinciding with the annual AIPAC summit planned for March 20 through 22. Netanyahu has made attending AIPAC’s annual conference a tradition, missing the event only twice.

Officials around the Prime Minister pointed out that the trip would take place in the middle of a heated presidential primary season, and Netanyahu is looking to avoid becoming entangled in internal American politics.

They also noted that Vice President Joe Biden is set to arrive in Israel this week for meetings with Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority leaders, and that the Israeli Prime Minister would be able to convey important messages through the Vice President.

Another reason for the cancellation appears to be a failure of Obama and Netanyahu to reach an agreement over the next Memorandum of Understanding.

“66% Israelis want Trump to be POTUS.”

But American Jews, not so much. Next to Blacks, Jews are #2 in the Obola Administration upper eschelons and in the New York press. I guess the Muslimes are right, the Holocaust never happened!

IIRC, in the beginning, European Jews were neutral to somewhat supportive of the man and the regime that soon wanted to exterminate them.

Maybe Obama will find someone in Cuba to nominate for the Supreme Court.
