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”.

I see. Do you know why there are no official Israeli troops in Iraq?

What did Bibi expect, respect? If he did then he is not a smart as I thought he was.

Maybe Bibi expected at least a modicum of respect from this usurper.

After all, the WH is supposed to behave by a set of rules and protocols long established in the way to treat it's guests.

Obama made the very big mistake in thinking Bibi needs him more then Obama needs Bibi.

This will come to bite him in the ass. Jews in this country may be liberal/democratic, but they are far from stupid to what this means.

Hitler pulled this type of stunt during the negotiations for Austria and Czechoslovakia. Just sayin’.

Is that really true? It's strange that as I was reading this Obama account I was thinking this seemed like something Hitler would do.

Very true, also access to Israeli Airspace, landing fields, fuel, compatable weapon systems and ammo...
To make the presumption that Israel is not helping...well,
is foolish...

If Israel were to take Iran on, it would force bigger hands. It is a mistake to think this is ultimiately about Israel and Iran. If either was to take action, it would force others hands. They might do nothing, then again...

I read a thread this morning that said BO left the meeting with Netanyahu saying that he had to go have dinner with MO and the girls.

This guy has rappers and hip hop artists to the WH on a regular basis, having dinner with them, etc. And I bet he didn’t bow to Netanyahu. Only world dictators and terrorists.

Number of Israeli troops in Iraq = zero. Number of Israeli troops in Afghanistan = zero. Most valuable how, exactly?

If we had asked them to help, they would have. For obvious reasons we did not ask Israel to send troops to Iraq or Afghanistan. That doesn't mean they didn't help us in the war effort. I suspect that while Bush was president a lot of middle east intelligence was being secretly provided by Israel.

Me either!! And what I would really like to see, is perhaps Jerusalem Prayer Team, or some other organization, take a card saying exactly that, and that “This Administration DOES NOT speak for me! “ Call it an America Supports You letter signing. Release it and let all Americans sign it. They could actually hand deliver it, and come to think of it, I may call tomorrow and suggest it.

The petition they have out to ask Clinton to side with Israel will go nowhere, and might put those who sign it on a list of some sort.

One can never be humiliated by a commie, muslim, poofter POS like barack hussein obama; it is impossible.

Moreover, a man’s man like Netanyahu would only experience a brief period of disgust at what a former ally has become.

A very, very, personal FUBHO, to you, you commie, muslim poofter POS and all your JBTs.

Am Yisrael Chai, Am Yisrael Chai, AM YISRAEL CHAI!!!
