Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday canceled his plans to attend the upcoming AIPAC summit, after it became clear that US President Barack Obama would not meet him during the conference.

Netanyahu announced that while he will not attend the conference in person, he will send a video-taped message to Washington.

Obama to Bibi - Screw You! It’s gonna be a long four years!

Major slap in the face to Israel. But not a surprise. Another highly anti-American, anti-Israel gesture from Obama. They just keep coming.

So let me get this straight... Obama practically grovels on his knees to the Saudi king, but won’t even meet with Netanyahu?

I love that guy.

Seeing that neither man is a natural born citizen, you think we could elect Bibi in 4 years?

[vaudine]

Our glorious leader will meet with Ortega, Amadinejad, Fidel, or any enemy; but he will not meet with Netanyahu.

How utterly, utterly elegant, handsome, graceful, and empty-headed our GL is--not to say a rabid apologist and dedicated student of Karl and Saul.

That about sums it up.

Obama has left no doubt in their minds that they will have to carry on alone.

Don't forget about Chavez. If those two would have been in Vermont, they could have gotten married.

But, nothing but the big middle finger for Israel.

Obama represents the enemy within the White House. He is always happy to meet with our mortal enemies because he is one of them.

[Kansas58]

Exactly!

I think Bibi should tell Obama that their first meeting will be in Israel, or not at all.

Good for Netanyahu! Stand tall, shoulders back and don’t put up with Obozo arrogance! God be with Israeli.

[widowithfoursons]

Nice to know that Bibi has enough class to abstain.

[ChocChipCookie]

Right now, Netanyahu is one of the very few leaders on the world stage who “gets it” and is an adult. Obama is a feckless child in comparison.

[Canedawg]

I hope you Jewish libtard lurkers out there are real proud of yourself for voting for an anti-Semite piece of trash who instinctively bows to the sheik, but wont meet the head of Israel.

You’re a-holes!

Yes, I said it!

Now get off the site, you big dopes!

Congratulations, jews, for such overwhelming support given to this commie during the most recent election. Great job.

I think that this is a cover story. Bibi can't come to AIPAC because the start of the Israeli attack on Iranian nukes is just too imminent, he has to be there. The attack may even come before the AIPAC meeting is over, so that if Obama comes down against it the leaders of American Jews will be there to denounce him.
