Netanyahu Will Again Try to Meet with Obama… Eat Dinner in Advance, Prime Minister
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on May 26, 2010
Obama and Netanyahu... another meeting is planned
One more time… Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu will try again to meet with Pres. Obama.
Let’s hope this visit fares better than the previous one in March and that Obama doesn’t repeat his rude stunt of dumping the prime minister, a guest in our nation, to fend for himself in the White House while Obama trots off to eat dinner with the wife and kids.
From Israel National News, Netanyahu to Visit Obama Again:
U.S. President Barack Obama will invite Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to visit the White House for the third time in a year, according to Israeli officials. The two leaders will meet next week after the Prime Minister’s trip next week to Canada.
White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who is using a private visit to Israel to try to repair relations with the government, will meet with Netanyahu on Wednesday, when he is expected to deliver the official invitation. He also will meet with President Shimon Peres and possibly with Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
Emanuel came to Israel to celebrate his son’s Bar Mitzvah but has kept a low profile following warnings of protests by nationalist activists.
[...]
President Obama gave Prime Minister Netanyahu a chilly reception two months ago, without a shared meal, press conference or even an opportunity for photographers to show them shaking hands. Following harsh criticism by pro-Israel leaders, both Jewish and non-Jewish, next week’s meeting is expected to be more cordial.
In contrast, President Obama warmly received Defense Minister Barak, who is viewed by the American government as more likely to accept most of the PA conditions for an agreement to establish a new Arab state within Israel’s borders. Barak has said that Israel should surrender almost all of Judea and Samaria, and when he was Prime Minister in 2000, he offered former PA leader Yasser Arafat almost all of the land restored to Israel in the Six-Day War in 1967. Arafat refused the offer and launched the Second Intifada, also known as the Oslo War. (IsraelNationalNews.com)

About the author
I wish Netanyahu was our president. We have a spineless, coward in charge.
Yes, I can see why Rahm has to keep a low profile in Israel. I’m sure he’s not well liked inside that Jewish community, unlike the elitist liberal Jews in America – the majority of whom voted for Obama and will do so again.
Vicki, this post title is a scream! One of your best.
