Netanyahu Cancels Trip to Obama's Nuclear Summit
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, April 8, 2010, 4:06 PM
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wisely canceled his trip to Obama’s nuclear summit next week in Washington DC. Turkey and Egypt already announced that they would raise the issue of Israel’s presumed nuclear arsenal at the conference. Obama has been rude and demanding with Israeli officials since he moved into the White House.
Reuters reported, via Free Republic:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has canceled a planned trip to Washington next week to take part in President Barack Obama’s 47-country nuclear security summit conference.
He made the decision after learning that Egypt and Turkey intended to raise the issue of Israel’s presumed nuclear arsenal at the conference, a senior government official said on Friday.
Israel is believed to be the only nuclear-armed power in the Middle East but has never confirmed or denied that it possesses atomic weapons.
Foreign analysts believe it has been a secret nuclear power for the past 40 years and may possess a sizeable arsenal.
Based on estimates of the plutonium production capacity of its Dimona reactor in the Negev desert, experts say Israel could have 100-200 advanced nuclear explosive devices.
“The prime minister has decided to cancel his trip to Washington to attend the nuclear conference next week, after learning that some countries including Egypt and Turkey plan to say Israel must sign the NPT,” the official said.
Israel has not signed the nuclear non-proliferation (NPT) treaty.

This probably is because the US is not allowing Israeli nuclear scientists into the country.
Their visas were denied.

And the moment Israel signs it, Israel ceases to exist, because then the mohammedan hordes will converge on it. And the leftists will applaud.
down with dems commented:
Well, if Israel has not signed the NPT treaty, that means under Obama’s new nuke plan we can nuke the crap out of them.
We’re living in bizarro world.
Chisum commented:
I thought Carter let the cat out of the bag regarding Israeli nukes.
First American President to acknowledge that Israel even has nukes.

I wouldn’t go if I were him either.
Not only is this ridiculous it is scary. Isreal is in my prayers and I can’t wait until Obama’s term is up.
Jean commented:
Good for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Obama is nothing but a lying backstabber.
Arius commented:
The more I see of Obama’s actions the more I wish the USA to go to hell.
Auntie Em commented:
It’s all coming together…
Keep looking up my friends.
Redwine commented:
I’m so relieved that Netanyahu canceled. This was going to be another Barry Hussein’s ambush. Bibi had better steer well clear of Hussein.
Palinfan commented:
Are the Jews waking up to the fact that Obama and the Liberals hate Jews? (And Christians, and God, and the unborn, and Conservatives, and America, and Capitalism, and freedom, and guns, and individual liberty, and the family, and the founding fathers, and the military and women and minorities and…)
Rosemary Woodhouse commented:
Yes, it it, Auntie Em. Yes, it is.
Rosemary Woodhouse commented:
@ Palinfan- Shockingly, not as quickly as you would imagine. As I always post, some are democrats before they are Jews- regardless of the lessons taught by history. Amazing.
Joanne commented:
I hope Israel releases some dirt on Obama….that’s what came to mind – I’m sure they have their sources.
Moriah commented:
We can all hear the conversation, can’t we? The request for Israel to disarm it’s nuclear capabilities for the sake of “peace?” I saw this coming a mile a way.
Joanne commented:
The State of Israel will not disarm their nuclear capabilities – they know it is the greatest deterrent they have to prevent being attacked. Even Iran knows that they will have, at most, one chance to finish the State of Israel off, and even then Israel will have enough nukes in the air to make Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and the area in which the Palestinians look like moon craters. Prophecy states that Damascus will be destroyed in its entirety, so we will have to wait and see what comes of all this.

Not only is this ridiculous it is scary.
Ridiculous and scary, yes. Also a chance for the Three Stooges of Islam to treat Bibi like their red-headed stepchild, similar to the way Obamao treated him last month at the White House. Bibi shouldn’t allow him to treat him in such an indignifying manner again, and especially not with the other Stooges on hand to help and witness it.
(Man, that’s why I so admire Israeli Jews, and some American Jews, too: their dignity. They always hold their heads high and they should. They’ve earned it.)

Hey, Arius: You first.
Obama first then his followers.
The rest of us can stand back and watch them burn baby burn.

Wow, that NPT must be the most powerful piece of paper in history – just signing it results in a nation being wiped off the map!

This little wedgie from Netanyahu doesn’t bother me. I have had bigger wedgies from Barney Frank (D-MA).
Let me be clear, I plan to reduce our thousands of nuclear weapons to 100 by the end of 2010. We can easily accomplish that by giving them to needy nations like Pakistan, Syria, and Iran. I am not worried about the consequences. I have my bomb shelter and my hide-out in Hawaii. They will never get me there.
Who cares if thousands of honkies in NY or San Francisco get toasted? All of the good movie stars have moved to Palm Springs or out of the country. And, I will be safe in my bunker. Besides, America and its military sucks. If the green zone was nuked it would be a good thing. The less honkies the better.
My limousine is running and I have a meeting with Bill Ayers. He could use a few nukes. Those pipe bombs did not kill enough police. Also, I hope Israel gets wiped off of the map. I have never like that small crappy country mucking up the bigger Muslim countries. I cannot answer any more questions. Good day.

There is no “presumed” nukes. They have them, about 150 is what I heard. We and the French gave them the technology back in the late sixties or early seventies. Notice the distinct lack of conventional wars after the last one in early70′s?
What happened? Do you think the Arabs realized they couldn’t beat her? No, they aren’t that smart. They got a call saying. “We think we are losing, Cairo glows, Damascus glows and Amman glows.
Even the most Israeli hating Arabs gets that. So, they decided to fight proxy wars instead.

As the WSJ noted yesterday re the “Karzai fiasco,” the Blowhard isn’t making any friends among our enemies, but he’s making enemies of our friends.

I am glad that Netanyahu cancels trip to the summit next week. Netanyahu did the right thing. It is embarrassed to us how the way Mr. Obama mistreated to Netanyahu when he was visited here about month ago.

GOOD FOR THEM. I WOULDN’T SIT IN THE SAME ROOM AND BREATHE THE WASTED EXCUSE FOR CO2 IN THE FORM OF SOETORO. OBAMA, YOU’RE A SMARMY, LYING, KENYAN BORN, INDONESIAN FRAUD! You aren’t worthy of sitting in the same room as Netanyahu.

Guess Bibi agrees with Sarah.

I am so infuriated over Odrama Queen’s behavior – yet so relieved he doesn’t shy away from transparently displaying his lack of character.
But considering Numbers 16, and Obadiah, and Ezekial 38 and 39, and Revelations – Please God, do not hold Americans responsible for this Korah lunatic.
Please let those of us who do not agree with him be counted to be standing far far far way from him, over on the other side, over beside Israel, in the name of God Jehovah, and His Son, Jesus. Amen!
Maranatha!
