Binyamin Netanyahu humiliated after Barack Obama 'dumped him for dinner'

For a head of state to visit the White House and not pose for photographers is rare. For a key ally to be left to his own devices while the President withdraws to have dinner in private was, until this week, unheard of.

Yet that is how Binyamin Netanyahu was treated by President Obama on Tuesday night, according to Israeli reports on a trip seen in Jerusalem tonight as a disastrous humiliation.

After failing to extract a written promise of concessions on Jewish settlements, Mr Obama walked out of his meeting with Mr Netanyahu but invited him to stay at the White House, consult with advisors and “let me know if there is anything new”, a US congressman who spoke to the Prime Minister said today.

“It was awful,” the congressman said. One Israeli newspaper called the meeting “a hazing in stages”, poisoned by such mistrust that the Israeli delegation eventually left rather than risk being eavesdropped on a White House phone line. Another said that the Prime Minister had received “the treatment reserved for the President of Equatorial Guinea”.

Most valuable how, exactly?

You gotta be kidding... Israeli troops alongside us in Afghanistan or Iraq would not have been exactly helpful.

Poor humblegunner - just doesn’t understand.

Even when Palestinians were raining missiles on Israel during the Gulf Wars - Israel was restrained by our govt. from returning fire so as not to exacerbate and inflame the whole Middle East. Imagine how hard it had to be to maintain that restraint.

I don't like the title of this article; one can only be humiliated if one gives permission --- and there's simply no way an accomplished experienced statesman like Netanyahu would EVER be humilated by anything whatsoever Stanley Anne's brilliant little boy could EVER do.

It's impossible, Bibi humiliated???

NO way.

p.s. the behavior of BHO and his staff is a reflection upon THEM, and not upon Bibi....

“A new administration can be excused for making such a mistake in the treacherous and complex theater of Middle East diplomacy. That’s why Obama was given a pass by many when he made exactly the same mistake last year. The second time around, the president doesn’t look naive. He appears ideological — and vindictive.”

Fool that I am, I never suspected that we could ever get a more low rent, ill bred, cheap jack and compeltely shameful individual than Bill Clinton in the office of President.

How wrong I was.

Did Obama suddenly become the Mahdi?

Mr Obama walked out of his meeting with Mr Netanyahu ...
Another said that the Prime Minister had received “the treatment reserved for the President of Equatorial Guinea”

Yet another Obama/Equatorial Guinea inference.

If Mossad (Israeli Intelligence) has more information on such a connection, they need to be more direct instead of just dropping hints ...

Number of Israeli troops in Iraq = zero.

Number of Israeli troops in Afghanistan = zero.

Israeli troops in Iraq and Afganistan .. what a brilliant idea. Humble .. please tell me you're not this stupid.

Oops ... you can't ... you've been banned.

[humblegunner]

you've been banned.

Guess again.

[MestaMachine]

Wasn’t all that sudden.

[BossLady]

Yes....I’m thinking the Israelis are not going to take this lying down....that is for sure...

Poor baby.

Watch the men together. Our President certainly does not like the Prime Minister. Are we allowed to suspect that his 18 or 20 years in the pew listening to one America's foremost gasbag anti-semites might cause suspicion.

I don't think there is any question that you are right.

But, I can assure you if obummer was visited by a gaggle of muzzie losers he would have been scrambling to remove his shoes so they could all moon the heavens together.

Israeli troops alongside us in Afghanistan or Iraq would not have been exactly helpful.

Granted.

So what use is this "ally" that can't help?

Yes. It is cropping up with increasing repetition, isn’t it?

Obama has no class.

The more Hussein Obama attacks Israel....the more the USSA slides into the Abyss. The G-d of Abraham, Issac and Jacob will not be mocked by Hussein Obama.
