Smooth move, Mr. President. Your Jew-hating disdain of Israel is on display once again. And you wonder why millions of Americans suspect that you are a closet Muslim.
Read about our president's latest stunt, via Joshua Pundit:
New Nuclear 'Action Plan' Agreed To By Obama Singles Out Israel - And Doesn't Even Mention Iran!
"If anybody thought that Netanyahu being invited by Obama to the White House actually signified some kind of change, guess again:
'Washington's unprecedented backing for a UN resolution for a nuclear-free Middle East that singles out Israel has both angered and deeply worried the Jewish state although officials are cagey about openly criticising their biggest ally.
The resolution adopted by the United Nations on Friday calls on Israel to join the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and urges it to open its facilities to inspection.
It also calls for a regional conference in 2012 to advance the goal of a nuclear-free Middle East.
Israel is widely believed to be the only nuclear power in the Middle East, with around 200 warheads, but has maintained a policy of deliberate ambiguity about its capabilities since the mid-1960s.
The document, which singles out Israel but makes no mention of Iran's controversial nuclear programme, drew a furious reaction from the Jewish state who decried it as "deeply flawed and hypocritical."
But it was US backing for the resolution which has caused the most consternation among Israeli officials and commentators, who interpreted the move as "a resounding slap around the face" which has dealt a very public blow to Israel's long-accepted policy of nuclear ambiguity.
Publicly, the Israel government has not criticised the US position but privately, officials expressed deep disappointment over the resolution, which Washington backed despite intensive Israeli efforts to block it.
According to the top-selling Yediot Aharonot daily, the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was "furious with the Obama administration for having failed to prevent the resolution from passing... and for choosing to support it."
"The American support for the resolution, after decades in which it supported Israel on this issue, came as a complete surprise," the paper said.
"In the secret talks that Netanyahu held with Obama's men... Israel was promised that the resolution would not focus on Israel and that if it did, the Americans would vote against."'
The Bush Administration, faced with a similar situation back in 2005 simply refused to go further and legitimize this bigotry. Obama, of course is a very different animal.
Obama's NSA Adviser James L. Jones was on the record just last Friday after the einitial draft surfaced saying how the US "deplores" the singling out of Israel and would "not permit a conference or actions that could jeopardize Israel's national security."
Ri-ight.You betcha.
As far as Obama and Netanyahu's meeting goes, look for the president behind closed doors to spend most of his time trying to muscle more unilateral concessions for the Palestinians out of Bibi and warning him Israel had better get used to a Nuclear Iran. It will not be a cordial meeting.
Obama's last minute invite to Netanyahu simply a political dog and pony show using Netanyahu as a prop to try and shore up some of Prez [Obama]'s plummeting support among American Jews.
Mark my words, things are eventually going to get to the point where the Israelis remember that they survived the first twenty years of their national existence without any help from the US whatsoever, and they were less able to do so then than they are now. They're going to Just Say No and sever all but the most basic ties if this nonsense continues.
Ultimately, I think the US will be poorer for the absence of that alliance. I think that many people in our military/intel/diplomatic establishment realize it, and I expect the US to take steps to renew the relationship once Prez [...] and his regime are out of office."
Of course, that meeting has been postponed because Bibi flew back to Israel. But, that meeting will take place sometime in the future, and it will go as anticipated.

Could it be that none of this has ANYTHING to do with religion?
Could it be that Israel is being "singled out" because it is the only Middle Eastern country that HAS nuclear bombs? Iran -- or any other country -- shouldn't be included in this mix unless and until it has nuclear capabilities.
Usually, the simplest explanation is the best, Ms. MooreLies. And, often, it has nothing to do with religion.
Israel is being singled out because of the rampant anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism in the Obama Administration and the world. Israel is not threatening anyone with their nukes; Iran is. It would be much wiser to prevent Iran from getting nukes than to hope it doesn't use them once it has them.
I'm not sure if you are intentionally dancing around the issue, or if you honestly cannot comprehend what you're saying.
Iran does not HAVE a bomb; Israel DOES. So which country should be signing any agreement regarding the deployment of nuclear weapons?
Funny how you can see NO racism when it comes to how Obama is being treated by many of your rightwingnut cronies (and yourself, on occasion) but yet you are so insistent that the ONLY reason Israel is being singled out is because of "rampant anti-Semitism". I guess that's a function of how incapable you are of distinguishing the difference between religious beliefs and foreign policy.
Accuse me of anything you wish, but racism? How is that possible when I am such a fan of a very black Lt. Col. Allen West running for Congress in southern Florida?
As to Iran, it is close to having a bomb and threatening a genocide in Israel. Israel is threatening no one, but should be allowed a bomb if needed to defend itself from the savages which surround it.
Obama's anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism is obvious to anyone who is willing to look at what is going on. He has surrounded himself with anti-Semites. American Jews are growing very concerned about this.
Yes, Obama is undoubtedly surrounding himself with anti-Semites.
Like Rahm Emanuel,
Like David Axelrod.
Yep, dem "Jew Haters" are all alike!
Israel is a STATE and needs to be treated as such by the U.S. and the world, when it comes to international diplomacy. RELIGION has nothing to do with it.
And, as for your racism or proclaimed lack of same: one of the oldest lines in the Racist Handbook is "Some of my friends are black." Politically supporting a black man who's whiter than Pat Boone doesn't say much.
You are so full of it. Axelrod and Emanuel are self-loathing Jews. Rahm is some kind of hypocrite. By day, he works for Obama undermining Israel's interests and then has the audacity to take his family to Israel for his son's Bar Mitzvah.
Wow... you got that clairvoyant thing going again? Howin the world do you know that Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod are "self-loathing Jews"? Simply because they can distinguish between the state of Israel and the religion of Judaism, and you can't?
It is interesting to note, however, that somehow YOU, of all people, are able to determine who's a devout (enough) Christian, Jew, or Muslim. How are you at tagging Buddhists or Hindus?
Actually, I have no problem whatsoever with Hindus or Buddhists. They are deceived, but we don't hear a peep out of them. No demands, no threats, no violence.
If only we could say the same about the Islamists, I would not have a problem with them either. Sadly, that is not the case.
"That clairvoyant thing" is called discernment. It's a gift from God to His believers--something you could not begin to understand.
You certainly are full of yourself, Ms. MooreLies.
Or, perhaps, you're full of crap.
Or, perhaps, both.
Any god that would grant you special powers is a false god, indeed. You judge others and, worse yet, you dare to judge others of whom you have no knowledge whatsoever.
How do you dare to decree that anybody is a "self-loathing Jew"? You are a prideful religious bigot who, thank God, has no real influence in this world.
You maintain this wart-on-the-butt-of-the-rightwingnut-asylum blog, but since you don't have enough brains to form a thought of your own, you have to just cut & paste from any other rightwingnut blog you can find. And, for this, you think God talks to you and gives you special insight to ANYTHING?
Guess again, lady. You belong in an institution in this life, and hell in the next.
As i've repeatedly said, move to the gaza strip with the idiots you love to defend. That is the best move you can make for all of us. These islamic numbskulls walk around with no shoes while carrying a $5000.00 missle launcher. They have wanted to and have been killing jews for thousands of years. But Israel must disarm itself in the midst of all this lunacy!!! That would be like walking through the south side of chicago at 2 AM with 100 dollar bills hanging out of every pocket, diamond rings on each finger and no weapon. The sharks will smell blood.
Diogenes, you are dripping with hatred, and it's not good for your health.
My comment wasn't meant to call attention to myself. I am not full of myself, but the power available to ANYONE who is a Christ follower. It's not about me; it's about HIM.
It doesn't take a genius to see that Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod, both Jews, care nothing about Israel. They are both working for the most anti-Israeli president in the history of our nation (that is saying a lot because that includes Jimmy Carter}. If they cared anything about Israel, they would not continue working for Obama. It's as simple as that.
JD, I'm not defending anybody in the Gaza. I'm suggesting that perhaps,just perhaps, the Israelis overreacted by jumping out of helicopters and killing 9 or 10 people. It seems like that could easily enough be categorized as an overreaction, but evidently the Religious Rightwingnuts cannot give an inch on behalf of the Almighty Bebe; he craps and they applaud the effort.
And I could be wrong, but I don't think Israel becoming a signatory to a nuclear proliferation treaty or three is really "disarming" them in their struggle against the hostile forces that surround them. Israel has done awfully well in their various firefights with Arab neighbors over the years, and they've never had need to call on their nuclear advantage to do it.
And Ms. MooreLies, get back to us if and when you plan to speak honestly. If you think you can diagnose ANYBODY from your far-out perch on the rightwingnut extreme, whether it be by your own incredible powers or the powers you think your god has granted you, think again. The real God wouldn't be granting you any special insights that would allow for your nighly inappropriate judgemental screeds.
He's the President of the United States, duly elected (unlike Bushie in 2000, we might add)and he'll remain such util January 20, 2017. And he'll still be black. So get used to it. :-)
