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”.

Obama's actions usually leave me speechless. Not this time. A word actually came to mind:

Disgusting.

Can you find that post where a Freeper said that he had talked to an professor and glean that the reason obama left Michelle to go to the Middle East was because Muslims don’t bring their wives or something...I’ve tried but fail to find it.

IIRC Prince Bandar, then Saudi Ambassador to the US, often brought his wife to "the Ranch" during the Bush administration. And she definitely lived in the US while he was ambassdor. Of course she could be a special case, since her father was the King, and she may have had "other duties" than just the wife of Prince Bandar.

Thank you.

We could learn a lot from Israel with regard to terrorism. That country seems to know better than anyone how to handle terrorists. Doesn’t put up with that PC Kumbaya krap. We worry too much about not offending the radicals; Israel is more interested in safety and protection of its citizens.

W’ll see how soon the mods cotton on to you and your little muzzie crew here.

Well, seeing that I've been here about 8 years longer than you...

Please point out any posts of mine over the last nine years
that are pro-muslim. I will donate $100.00 to Free Republic
for each one you find. I'll expect the summary on my desk in the morning.

A crackhead nut case? Of course, now he can afford the real ‘good’ stuff on our dime no doubt.

Jokes aside, things are getting truly frightening. I have this real bad feeling in the pit of my stomach....like an intuition of impending doom or something.

Another word came to my mind and if I repeated here I might get myself banned.

This disgusting RAT President has shown contempt for both the UK and Israel, America’s greatest friends.

I DESPISE my PM, however when he visits America the respect he is shown should be for his position as it would be if Obama came to the UK.

Obama treats our leaders like shit on his shoe.

May this monster be defeated in 2012...please defeat him for the good of the world.

Thanks for the info on how to contact the Israeli Embassy with an email of support. However, I was not certain where to click on their home page.

Can you help out here?

If I were in charge of Israel... as soon as the Obamanation left for dinner, I'd have held a press conference. And when the press asked ‘where is the President?’, I'd have said that his dinner was more important than answering their questions.

Which, despite their love of the Obamanation, would have torqued off the press, as they expect politicians to bow and scrape before them.

American Jews are liberal first and foremost and in their minds liberalism tops religion.

Face it, we have an uncultered, trailer-trash, ghetto bum in the White House.

Well, he's not really a ghetto bum, he just pretends to be one. He's an beach bum. Only *some* of his beaches were in Hawaii.

Is that dog years or maggot years, bumble?

The years carry with them a rich history, which anyone can examine. A history brimming with "christian outreach" and interfaith slimy muslim kowtowing, from you and a small gaming crew. Nothing that isn't boringly well-known, for any serious student of the american jihad.

Well I spoke too soon.

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1159159.html

Nearly 300 Congress members declare commitment to ‘unbreakable’ U.S.-Israel bond

Nearly 300 members of Congress have signed on to a declaration reaffirming their commitment to “the unbreakable bond that exists between and the State of Israel”, in a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The letter was sent in the wake of the severe recent tensions between Israel and the U.S. over the prior’s decision to construct more than 1,600 new housing units in East Jerusalem.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took advantage of his trip to the United States this week to try to mend the rift with the Obama administration, but he was greeted with cold welcome by the White House. Netanyahu also met during his visit with members of Congress, who welcomed him with significantly more warmth.

No surprise that your first-rate, fact-filled post was ignored by the poster it was intended to educate.

Well DUH!!! So how do MOST Muslims treat Jews??!!!

That depends on if the Jews are schoolchildren, or armed teachers. And on how many more Muslims there are than Jews.

Tell me again how many times America asked Israel to join it’s coalition to liberate Iraq?

Tell me again how many times America asked Israel for help in Afghanistan?
