Netanyahu Leaves White House with No Comment
Israeli National News ^ | 11/10/2009 | Hana Levi Julian

Posted on 11/10/2009 7:12:28 AM PST by autumnraine

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.

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.”

Is it safe to say the PA has torpedoed every peace agreement engineered by the US - ever??

Yet, we bow down to them, richly endow them, which encourages them to continue the rockets and whittling away of the State of Israel.

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.

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.

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.

The divide among Jew's is the same as in the rest of the voting block they have the Liberals who dislike Israel because they will fight and the Conservative Side who Is 100% Supportive of the Jewish Country..

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.

Bibi knows that Israeli National Security is in serious danger with a terrorist sympathizer running our Republic.

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.

The liberal Jews I speak to say:

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.

I wonder how small Obama's Jewish minions, Secy. Dan Shapiro and creepy advisor, Rahm Emanuel, felt in the presence of a REAL Jew.....a manly man like Netanyahu.

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.

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.

Correct. I know I was surprised to realise that some years ago, but I don't know why I was surprised. For liberals, socialism trumps everything, including Zionism or loyalty to country. Maybe especially loyalty to country, considering how hard they try to weaken America every chance they get.

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.

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.

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.

It sickens me to watch what happens to this once glorious nation. I long for yesteryear.

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.
