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”.

“Call me if you need me.”
“Oh, uh,uh, and DON’T, uh, make it 3 AM!”
And Jewish voters continue their suicidal love affair with the Democrat party....
That doesn’t make them an ally.
OThuga will likely be shunned by Almighty God in a way that will upstage all other shunnings the clueless traitor will be eternally haunted with.
Name another Middle East country that has fervently supported the U.S. over the last 60 years or so... then name another Middle East democracy.
Hummm? Wonder if he's ever sat down for a meal with Rahm Emanuel?
sw
Sooner would work for me.
“It can only boost his ratings in Israel..............”
Well that’s what I would think, but why is this article portraying it as somehow Netanyahu’s fault?
Yes. Obama is Muslim.

Write them and tell them that this snub was not from the American people. They will appreciate hearing from you.
No bow for Bibi?
They say you can judge a man by his enemies. Well, my opinion of Bibi just went from “good” to “excellent.”
I’m getting tired of waiting for the CIA or Mossad to release embarrassing and/or devastating information on Obama. What’s holding them back?
Well just gosh. Wonder how Rahm feels about that.
Wonder how all the Jewish libs feel knowing that they paid for this thug to be in office.
Unfortunately, Obama is condemning the United States Of America and we are all going to suffer God's wrath because of it.
May God Have Mercy On Us.
I hope you’re right, but I was afraid that this may have damaged his reputation & the Israeli lefties would jump on it like stink on ships. Wouldn’t this also strenghthen Israel’s enemies, or @ least give them some confidence after a Bibi smack-down?
How much more damage can these idiots do before the elections this fall!
How much more damage can this clown in the White House do in the next three years!
They get paid for it. We should pay for allies that don't help us in wars?
then name another Middle East democracy
There are none. But then, I don't live there and it isn't my problem.
I would imagine, due to the sensitivity in that region, official calculation of Israeli troops is zero.
Israel is our greatest ally in that region.
Bibi and his family will always be welcome in my house if they wish to visit.
