I’ll be honest – this made my blood boil. Obama doesn’t stand up to Iran or N. Korea who are threatening other countries while trying to acquire nukes yet he gets upset over settlements and humiliates Netanyahu by dissing him for dinner. He’s such a jackass:
For a head of government 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 viewed in Jerusalem as a humiliation.
After failing to extract a written promise of concessions on settlements, Mr Obama walked out of his meeting with Mr Netanyahu but invited him to stay at the White House, consult with advisers and “let me know if there is anything new”, a US congressman, who spoke to the Prime Minister, said.
“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 telephone line. Another said that the Prime Minister had received “the treatment reserved for the President of Equatorial Guinea”. …
Left to talk among themselves Mr Netanyahu and his aides retreated to the Roosevelt Room. He spent a further half-hour with Mr Obama and extended his stay for a day of emergency talks to try to restart peace negotiations. However, he left last night with no official statement from either side. He returned to Israel yesterday isolated after what Israeli media have called a White House ambush for which he is largely to blame.
I said it before the election and I’ll say it now: Obama hates Israel and it’s clearer now than it’s ever been. In fact, none of his foreign policy moves make sense to anyone. He gives grandiose speeches to the Muslim world telling them we are their friends yet he refuses to support the oppressed in Iran when they are getting shot in the street; he stands up against Honduras when they follow their constitution and oust their dictator wannabe President, yet he refuses to take a tough stand over the illegal government of Iran when they clearly ignore the people’s votes and fix their elections.
He definitely has an agenda and it’s not one like we’ve seen before. To diss a key ally like he did is reprehensible and immature. How long do we have to put up with the likes of this marxist? (it’s a rhetorical question!)
