Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu left the White House after a one-hour and 40-minute meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama Monday night without speaking to reporters -- a rare occurrence.
The meeting had been grudgingly scheduled early Sunday morning by the White House just a few hours before Netanyahu was to leave for the U.S. to speak at the 2009 General Assembly of the Jewish Federations of North America. The ninth-hour appointment was a clear sign that relations between Washington and Jerusalem remain strained; Netanyahu had requested the meeting weeks ago.
Also in attendance for part of the meeting was Defense Minister Ehud Barak, National Security Council head Uzi Arad, Ambassador Michael Oren and Netanyahu adviser Yitzchak Molcho. U.S. officials included National Security Adviser General (ret.) Jim Jones, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Special Middle East Envoy George Mitchell and National Security Council Director for Near Eastern Affairs Dan Shapiro.
On the agenda was the issue of Iran's galloping nuclear technology development, as well as the current paralysis in talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, and the claim by PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas that he is resigning in January. All three matters are being taken "very seriously" by the Prime Minister's Office, said a spokesman.
Netanyahu had reportedly been planning to tell the president that Israel was willing to be "generous" in scaling back Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria, and "means business" about rejuvenating talks with the PA.

I think the Iran bombing is back on.
All I can say is that Obama got the Jewish vote in our area. He also got some major funding from our local Jewish groups. They were hoodwinked, like the rest of us. Having said that, this is a prime example of “be careful what you wish for.”
We have lost Gods blessing, and soon will be a turd world nation.
The time of the Gentiles is coming to a close. The world, inch by inch and nation by nation, are lining up against Israel.

Yet, we bow down to them, richly endow them, which encourages them to continue the rockets and whittling away of the State of Israel.
Good meets evil.
C’mon folks! What kind treatment do you think he would get from a man who bows to a saudi prince?
The Jew to a muslim is a avowed enemy....whether the muslim be in Australia, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Norway, England, Venezuala, Brazil, Canada, Mexico........ or the White House.
I have no evidence, but I believe exactly the opposite. Pres. Obama told the Israelis to sit down and shut up, which p!ssed off Netanyahu so much he canceled the press briefings. Obama probably threatened to withhold information about the Iranian arms shipments to Hizbollah et al.
Welcome to Ezekial’s Expressway!
Israel can surrender or go down fighting
Fact is they have no oil and are completely dependent on the USA for their existence and have been for decades
Time and tide are against them
You are assuming that the Jewish voters are supportive of Israel. That may have been true at one time, but I'm afraid that liberal politics now trump ethnic loyalties.
I’m sure the Jewish Freepers can provide some words for Obama in Yiddish describing the Muslim God. LOL
Really? I’m surprised that they would be o.k. with that. After all the suffering they have endured over the centuries, I was always impressed with their loyalty to each other. But then again, there are alot of Bernie Madoffs/Rahm emmanuels in the world I suppose.
Telling the Israeli’s to sit down and shut up probably guarantees they will do something
I for one am Baffled as to HOW someone who calls themselves a Jew can turn their Back on Israel and support their enemy?
I agree. We are in the End Times and as Israel is more and more isolated, things are lining up for the Tribulation or the Time of Jacob’s Trouble.
You honestly beleive that the emasculated CIA and hapless FBI know more about international intelligence goings on, especially with respect to Hezbollah, than the Mossad? The Russians thought so at one time until one of their ships came up missing carring the new S-300 systems to Iran. They eventually found it and all that was left was some funky wood products and a crew with zippers fused to their lips.
The only word that come to mind immediately is "putz".
Bibi also knows that "diplomacy" with the terrorists in Iran is a complete waste of time, which is ultimately going to force the Israelis to fight the terrorists by themselves.
Remember when Raila Odinga's favorite cousin recently spoke at the United Nations? He sounded more like a member of Black September than the President when the subject of Israel came up. He was referring to the Israeli people as "the occupiers" while using other PLO terms. It was almost as if he was channeling the ghost of Yasser Arafat at the podium.
Netanyahu's knows...
1)They wish Israel was never created, it has become the draw for some much hatred and violence....that somehow if it were to disappear...peace would ensue.
2)They hate the Right because of their own bigotry against the south, evangelicals, low income white trash, non-educated..etc.
Typical “tolerant” leftwing bigots.

Nice Post thank you.
I admire the heck outta BiBi Netanjahu.He’s got a set.His instincts are good-very good.He’s just what Israel needs,especially right now.I’m behind him 100%.If we had half the courage Israel has,we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in right now.
Way too tame for Satan. I can’t recall if there is a Yiddish word for Satan.
You are soooooooooooo right, mountn man. The only thing that can save this country now is a huge spiritual revival.
But then, Obama's feminized and cowardly minions don't have the same feelings of normal American patriots or fighters for freedom like Bibi.

Thanks for posting. My observations:
1. Israel still knows and speaks “truth to power” (they may be afraid of Zero, PA, Hezbollah or Iran but it will not silence them). Bibi is doing a fairly good job in this regard.
2. Zero is a lover of self, not a student of The Bible. If he had a natural fear God (which comes from being a constant student of The Word) then he would be a completely different person, with opposite actions and with a vision which inspires true confidence and hope.
3. (I agree with earlier posts). The U.S. actions toward Israel cannot possibly bring a blessing on the U.S. Quite the opposite is happening / will happen ...
4. No press conference? Nothing to be gained by shouting-out the grand canyon divide between Israel & Zero. Any open discussion would simply embolden Islam and weaken Israel.
5. Don’t forget ... we recently lost Turkey as a key ally in the Middle East. They are now aligned with Iran & Syria, who continue to be aligned with Russia. It is amazing that there is still an Israeli ambassador in Turkey.
LOL
Bibi is a man’s man, and a schooled politician. He is brass-knuckles, and no-nonsense.
He knows what he has in Obama, and he’s going to let everyone know it without saying a direct word.
There’s a reason 7% of Israelis believe Obama is pro-Israel.
Not Yiddish, but Shaitan. The Adversary.
B. Netanyahu is a far better man than Barack Obama. I can’t think of anyone in our current government who measures up to him. I’m ashamed of this fetid administrations treachery.
LOL!
One gets the feeling that Netanyahu doesn’t much care for our Fearless Leader....
Unfortunately, we have the same divide in the Catholic church. In both faiths (which are actually quite entwined), the devout are fiercely conservative, and the “in name only” are liberals who justify their positions based on “social justice”. They are the ones who have lost touch with the true tenets of their faith.
Rut roh...
Bibi is pissed.
I don’t know about that. The US was NOT an ally of Israel for the first 25 years. They need to get used to the idea that this is the case again. The PEOPLE of the US love them overwhelmingly, but the elite government class does not.
“With hold information”? LOL Israel has better intel than WE do, and better security Officials who get just how much danger they are in.
Oh no, trust me Israel knows more than we do.
Just another tactical error on the part of ObaMahAmAnIdiot.
LOL If the shoe fits.....
the UK, Czech republic, Poland, and Israel.
All allies and all treated like crap.
So when the lefty loons said they wanted the world to love us, iot really meant for our enemies who want to kill us take advantage and our allies treated like crap.
No wonder our allies are now pissing off the war to help us, there is no leadership but a bunch of little drama queen kids in the white house.
health care is no good when were dead from muslims fanatics is it
Europe dumped them in 73 because of the oil embargo by the arabs
It has been ALL USA since then
Look at their military
36 years adds up to decades
..”The meeting had been grudgingly scheduled early Sunday morning by the White House just a few hours before Netanyahu was to leave...”
Was BO too busy golfing or having a date night?
But on the other hand, I know what Bible prophecy is calling for, for the entire world. I watch and see, on an almost daily basis, as Bible prophecy sets into place, the events of the end times.
The time is close at hand. Harvest time is running out. Our home is not this world. And this nation will make way for a greater nation, in the coming millenial reign.
When I set my heart farther out into the future, and what's to come, I get excited.
Though my heart still breaks for what once was America.
But they have the main thing on their side
