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’m with Bibi!
This makes me ashamed for our country.
These guys ultimately are anti semitic, anti West, anti business.
I would think Israel is plenty surrounded by enemies of their own right at their border.
Maybe its all lies...Maybe Netanyahu said FUBO and left.
I'll bet Bibi felt great sympathy for the American people, that we have such a self absorbed POS as our president.
“Another said that the Prime Minister had received “the treatment reserved for the President of Equatorial Guinea”.
At least he wasn’t treated the way Obama treats our Constitution.
This man-child has absolutely NO class, manners or scruples whatsoever...............
If you want Obama's attention or to get him out office obtain information about Obama's Kenyan birth.
Oh I really hope so.
I honestly don’t know if this is all staged, or Obama is just a bumbling idiot. I’m leaning towards bumbling idiot/puppet.
Consider, this moron gives a package of DVD’s coded Region 1, to our ally Great Britian. What Harvard Law School grad figured this one out? I think you could get better advice as to a suitable gift from any Walmart worker; let alone a career politician. The Prime Minister of Great Britian brings well thought out gifts (dresses and jewelry) for Obama’s family .... Obama resonds by picking up some boxes from the White House Gift shop. Class? Never heard of it.
The leader of Israel comes over, and Obama lacks the basic graces of a formal dinner as a host.
Face it, we have an uncultered, trailer-trash, ghetto bum in the White House. His only qualification was that he was black. He doesn’t know enough about simple and basic hospitality to treat his guests, not as personal friends; but as visiting dignitaries from foreign countries.
Pres. Sanford is in the Whitehouse, with all the charm, and none of the wit.
“Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t it a violation of Sharia for a Muslim to eat with a Jew? “
Yes and it’s becoming where he’s not even hiding it anymore.
IOW's "take your time before letting the door hit you in the ass"...
Obama, you are worthless!
sw
It can only boost his ratings in Israel..............
Exactly. Every single day, just when you think this crass, soulless man couldn’t possibly do anything more to embarrass and ruin this country, which was great before he infested the White Houset, he does something else hateful and beyond the pale.
May God be with Israel, and may they not think we all support this evil Marxist.
Sounds like a win to me. :)
You're breaking my heart Obama!

I’ve been reading all day (FReeping, actually) about the disrespect Obama has served up to our Israeli allies.
Reading it from British sources, that is.
As usual - I’m not holding my breath to see PMSNBC report this.
Well DUH!!! So how do MOST Muslims treat Jews??!!!
