Report Copyright Violation | Obama snubbed Netanyahu for dinner with Michelle and the girls, Israelis claim Obama snubbed Netanyahu for dinner with Michelle and the girls, Israelis claim [ link to www.telegraph.co.uk] Benjamin Netanyahu was left to stew in a White House meeting room for over an hour after President Barack Obama abruptly walked out of tense talks to have supper with his family, it emerged on Thursday. SNIP

The snub marked a fresh low in US-Israeli relations and appeared designed to show Mr Netanyahu how low his stock had fallen in Washington after he refused to back down in a row over Jewish construction in east Jerusalem.
The Israeli prime minister arrived at the White House on Tuesday evening brimming with confidence that the worst of the crisis in his country's relationship with the United States was over.
But Mr Obama was less inclined to be so conciliatory. He immediately presented Mr Netanyahu with a list of 13 demands designed both to the end the feud with his administration and to build Palestinian confidence ahead of the resumption of peace talks. Key among those demands was a previously-made call to halt all new settlement construction in east Jerusalem.
When the Israeli prime minister stalled, Mr Obama rose from his seat declaring: "I'm going to the residential wing to have dinner with Michelle and the girls."
As he left, Mr Netanyahu was told to consider the error of his ways. "I'm still around," Mr Obama is quoted by Israel's Yediot Ahronot newspaper as having said. "Let me know if there is anything new."
For over an hour, Mr Netanyahu and his aides closeted themselves in the Roosevelt Room on the first floor of the White House to map out a response to the president's demands.

Israel lives solely on pity and sympathy from the rest of the world. No wonder they are so whiny and immature. |

Mussy's in the region are going to become cocky and the Jews will not be able to handle that kind of attention. They brought it upon themselves, that's for sure. |

I don't care what people think of Netaanyahu or the Israelis. He was Obama's guest and there are traditional rules of protocol that governments in civilized countries follow. They are followed to help prevent wars. If you treat your guests like shit, don't EVER call on them for help or co-operation. Being diplomatically polite to another countries leader doesn't mean you support every thing they do, it just means you aren't stupid trailer park trash. |
