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

Timesonline.co.uk ^ | Thursday March 25, 2010 | Giles Whittell,

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.

"Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it a violation of Sharia for a Muslim to eat with a Jew?"

. . . . Pinging without comment, since I don't want to be banned from FR.

This makes me ashamed for our country.

If you want Obama's attention or to get him out office obtain information about Obama's Kenyan birth.

Write them and tell them that this snub was not from the American people. They will appreciate hearing from you.

I am infuriated and sickened at how 0thugga treated Netanyahu, who is one of the few heads of state I admire and respect greatly. I only wish we had a man of his caliber as president. Instead, we have a piece of slime, no insults meant to actual self-respecting natural slime.

"Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it a violation of Sharia for a Muslim to eat with a Jew?"

My first reaction was that Obama spends plenty of time schmoozing with Jewish Democrat congressmen, not to mention some of his top advisers in the White House. Many of them are not what I would think of as observant or faithful Jews, any more than most Catholic Democrat politicians are real Catholics in more than name only.

But they are Jews, nonetheless, because Jewishness is racial as well as religious.

Then I suddenly wonder, does Obama sit down and eat with any of them? I really don't know. The news media have been excluded from virtually all of his White House parties, and I don't recall seeing any photos of Obama dining with Jews. Of course, I may easily have missed something.

So, I wonder. Has anyone seen him actually playing with Bo the dog? Has anyone seen him eating with a Jew? I suppose he could do it very occasionally, and then get ritually cleansed or something. For instance, he was photographed with Bo when the dog first arrived, but I haven't seen much of him with Bo since. Maybe he wiped himself off with sand afterward, or whatever Mohammedans have to do to remove uncleanness.

Of course, needless to say, we don't have a "daily dose" of Obama photos here--mostly just ones where he embarrasses himself in one way or another.

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 is beyond humiliation for BiBi. I don’t know what the word is but it’s stronger than anything in my vocabulary.
