White House Says No to Netanyahu Meeting

Thanks Lisa H. for sending me this one.

John Bolton is right....Israel is all alone and a new low in relations between America and Israel has just been reached.

The White House declined Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s request on Tuesday to meet U.S. President Barack Obama during a UN conference in New York at the end of the month.
An official in Jerusalem said that the prime minister’s office sent the White House a message stating that although Netanyahu will spend only two and a half days on U.S. soil, he is interested in meeting Obama and is willing to travel to the U.S. capital specifically for that purpose. The official added that the White House rejected the request and said that at this time Obama’s schedule does not allow for a meeting.

The White House’s response marks a new low in relations between Netanyahu and Obama, underscored by the fact that this is the first time Netanyahu will visit the U.S. as prime minister without meeting the president.

Earlier on Tuesday, Netanyahu launched an unprecedented verbal attack on the U.S. government over its stance on the Iranian nuclear program.

So much for the special relationship between Israel and the U.S.

America is pulling away from Israel because we think we know better and we believe we are the adult in the situation and need to teach Israel a lesson.

In reality it is like we are a 2 yr old child pulling his hand away from his mother's firm grip and then running into traffic.
