Obama dumps Netanyahu

It's a shame......Israel has been a good friend to the U.S. Gotta wonder about pissing off your friends and enemies at the same time. Not sure that is great foreign policy.
 
blah blah blah... Netanyahu did not impress Obama and failed to put his promises in writing so... too bad.
 
While that behavior is disappointing - We still don't know the entire details in the meeting.

I know for a fact if I was Obama and hearing the guy repeating the same thing over and over and being unable to discuss things outside the box i'd just leave.
 
Seems like to me America is finally taking a stance to tell Israel to halt the human rights violations among the settlers and IDF.
 
Fantastic! Bama's got balls!

Netanyahu and Israel are a bunch of criminals and they don't deserve our hospitality. Bon Voyage, assholes.

"Good friends?" Uh, how exactly have they reciprocated with us? Basically this has been a one way relationship for the last seventy years. We give our money, military expertise and heavy machinery to them. In response, Israel destabilizes the Middle East and creates a breeding ground for despot nations like Iran and Syria, which they provoke like a toddler in front of a fish tank. Then, they viciously attack civilians in Palestine and Lebanon under the guise of "fighting terrorism."

Give me a break. They're a bunch of bullies, and they've been able to get away with it because we've had their backs for so long. No more. Strategically this is probably not the best idea, but morally, this is the best foreign policy move he has made since taking office.

That would be my perspective, as well.
 
:hmm:

If the above is true, I can see end of time being very near.

Obama certainly doesn't like Israel, nor the Prime Minister. He'd rather hit up with popular dictators and Islamic despots. Rather obvious there. Jewish people in Israel certainly do not like Obama.

Do you even read the link you provided?

Sources said that Mr Netanyahu failed to impress Mr Obama with a flow chart purporting to show that he was not responsible for the timing of announcements of new settlement projects in east Jerusalem. Mr Obama was said to be livid when such an announcement derailed the visit to Israel by Joe Biden, the Vice-President, this month and his anger towards Israel does not appear to have cooled.

In their meeting Mr Obama set out expectations that Israel was to satisfy if it wanted to end the crisis, Israeli sources said. These included an extension of the freeze on Jewish settlement growth beyond the ten-month deadline next September, an end to building projects in east Jerusalem and a withdrawal of Israeli forces to positions held before the second intifada in September 2000.

I believe President Obama did a right thing to brush him off. We do not bend over for Israel and let them bulldoze Palestinians' homes and make bullshit zoning laws whenever they feel like.

So kokonut... what do you think of Israelis' unsympathetic indifferences in handling West Bank?

Hard for you to believe he might have a little decency in him, eh? Don't let your rage over paying a few more bucks in taxes keep you from seeing the good in this action. Standing up to coward bullies like Israel is far more important to humanity, as a species, than any current domestic issue.
 
But he'll bend over for Chavez, Castro, Ahmadenijad.....

Yeah. Israel, a country that's completely surrounded by Islamic countries. Once Israel goes, so do the rest of the countries since they'll be embolden to move ahead and conquer them. Better consider the tactical advantage of having a strong Israel than a weak one.

Cowards? Like strapping on bombs of mentally retarded Muslims to get the job done?

Yeah... the very same people who terrorized and bombed Palestine Arabs and fought skirmishes to claim their "homeland" during the '30s and '40s, when South Africa and Argentina offered their own territory to form a Jewish country back then. :|

My taxes are not going up....because I don't pay taxes. No income.

I see Israel differently than you do. But regardless of that, this is no way for a host to treat a world leader. Getting tough with action is one thing......"Fine, I am not going to eat dinner with you" is childish and petty, not tough.

What's next????? Is Obama going to take his ball and go home?

It was the Jewish people struggle for two thousand years for their homeland called "Judea."

Exactly, it's the pettiness of Obama. More like a petulant man-child.
