JERUSALEM |
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has canceled plans to meet U.S. President Barack Obama in Washington on Tuesday, an Israeli statement said, in the wake of a deadly Israeli raid on Gaza-bound ships.
"Netanyahu decided to cut short his visit to Canada and return to Israel early," the statement said on Monday. Netanyahu has been in Canada since Friday for talks with government leaders.

Why would Netanyahu meet with a community organizer when he has grownup policy decisions to make?

Netanyahu is afraid to face international criticism. Israel wonders why international support has slowly been fading. This attack is a very clear indication of the reasons.

Sure, very well said. No need to meet the community organizer as bibi needs to plan to kill communities back home. What a great grown up policy.
