Israeli prime minister cancels White House meeting
2010-05-31
Ay Pee, but important enough to give you verbatim.
Israel's prime minister has called off a planned visit to the White House to deal with a crisis over a botched naval raid that killed 10 pro-Palestinian activists.
Those are AP's words. I would characterize the flotilla as an act of war sponsored by Turkey, but what do I know?
Netanyahu, who is in Canada, was set to travel to Washington to meet with President Barack Obama on Tuesday.
President Obama summoned him summarily, to show the major Jewish donors to the Democratic party how much he simply adores his dear friend Bibi.
But his office says he decided to return home early after Monday's commando raid.

The commandos intercepted a flotilla of activists trying to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip.
Just about every word in that sentence should be in scare quotes. But Ay Pee doesn't like Israel, although of course we mustn't call them antisemites.
They aren't antisemites, they're just Joo-haters ...
The deadly crackdown has drawn widespread international condemnations.
Betcha the fact that the 'peace activists' had iron pipes and were trying to crack open the skulls of the Israeli commandos doesn't draw any condemnation ...
This Facebook page is doing a good job of following the story. Of interest is this link they have to a report about the Turkish humanitarian organization which sponsored the flotilla. It seems the CIA tagged them as linked to Islamist terror groups as far back as 1996.

Let me be clear, I the "Divine One" need the Jewish votes in November, so I will not be condemning Israel at this particular time.

#4  "(maybe add, bent on destruction of Israel)"

Maybe, John?

"Radical islamic organization" and "bent on destruction of Israel" are synonyms.
