PM says no to Christian gift of friendship flowers, so as not to upset Obama.
Has the fight between US President Barack Obama and Israel become so fetid that it can overcome the fragrance of more than 10,000 roses?
That appeared to be the case on Thursday, when officials in the Prime Minister’s Office made clear that they cannot accept a donation of more than 800 dozen yellow roses from American Christians who were upset by reports of Obama’s treatment of Binyamin Netanyahu in the White House last week.
Florida-based radio host and author Janet Porter was so incensed by what she thought was Obama’s inappropriate behavior that she called upon her listeners to give Netanyahu yellow roses to symbolize friendship, with each bouquet costing a symbolic price of $19.48.
The response was overwhelming as Christian supporters of Israel went online to the Web site of Porter’s Faith2action organization and ordered the flowers, which were to be accompanied by a card with the words, “Be encouraged, Americans stand with you,” along with a quote from a psalm: “The Lord builds up Jerusalem.”

23And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes;
“but he shall be broken without hand”.
This gives us hope.
When Kovler contacted the appropriate Netanyahu adviser, he was told that the Prime Minister’s Office could not get involved, because Netanyahu must be very careful to avoid anything that smacks of disrespect for the president at such a sensitive time.
Bibi Netanyahu is a pandering weenie to 0bozo the commie pig boy-king. Come on Bibi....grow a pair of balls!
It's not like there's anything short of dividing Jerusalem and leading Jews to the slaughter that will satisfy Obama.
Or perhaps he was pandering to the right-wing in Israel, although I bet more credit is due them than many will give.
Much easier to go after one individual then to go after the bureaucracy and the middle management that is been eating this country from the inside out.
Obama doesn’t exactly have a fierce countenance,what will happen is he will come and he will go.
His leaving will change nothing to this situation unless we change it.
It is a matter of personal choice,belief in god and understanding what personal freedom means.
Not a King,not the Anti-Christ and I am honestly starting to care less and less about a people who have to make everything so dramatic.

Janet Porter should have had the good sense to first check with Netanyahu’s office to see if this was appropriate—before having her radio listeners buy all the roses. It should not even be necessary to state this.
