Netanyahu takes over White House

Ret Granger | 24.03.2010 09:46

And refuses to leave

I'm not leaving

WASHINGTON - US President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met Tuesday in the White House.

In a break with custom that seemed linked to the crisis complicating US-Israeli relations Obama and Netanyahu initially conferred for about 90 minutes in the Oval Office.

Then Netanyahu refused to leave.

Netanyahu ordered Obama to retire to his residence while Netanyahu stayed behind in the White House and called his staff to a meeting in the Roosevelt Room, a White House official said late Tuesday.

Netanyahu then ordered Obama back from his residence for a second meeting, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Netanyahu said he would not leave the White House until he got the bunker busting bombs he wanted and $80 billion of US taxpayers money..

Obama finally agreed just to get rid of him.

Bin this racist nonsense

"I put you in and I can take you out" - sounds like more Jew conspiracy crap to me.

Once again: UK Indymedia exists to help bring about a "world based on freedom, cooperation, justice and solidarity". It is explicitly against racism and certainly does not exist to give a platform to people wanting to spread poisonous racist bullshit.

Please can someone remove this post.

Israel's American bunker busters

This 'story' is factually wrong; the bunker busting weapons have already been deployed to Diego Garcia to await some 'event' so that Israel can use them via their proxy - the US military.

To the first commenter, you cannot be anti-racist and defend Zionism for Zionism IS a racist ideology.
Mutually exclusive, dear chap.

You can also....

....claim to be a 'progressive' and continue to delude yourself that your anti Israel stance has not simply just drifted into old fashioned Jew hate. Do you think it is true that Obama is on power solely due to the machinations of the Jews then?

Despairing

Well you can lose the patronising, sexist "dear chap" nonsense for a start.

Zionism may well be a racist ideology but no one is defending zionism.

It is perfectly possibile to be anti-Zionist and against the Israeli state, yet not allude to disgusting discourses about the secret power of evil Jews.

As far as I can see this post is doing the latter. Unless I'm just missing something. What is your understanding of the "I put you in and I can take you out" speech bubble?

@Against racism - the way I see it is that this piece is using a kind of dry, dark humour to keep the subject matter from becoming stale in the eyes of the reader. discuss it with your friends and even with people you don't know, to get you out of your two dimensional way of thinking.
The israeli thing is appalling, check out the latest on the assassination trip.
Nobody is saying the israelis are the only 'wrong 'uns', but if you persist in the dogma of 'israel can do no wrong', well, expect to be mocked.
Tip: It's really not worth coming here with the old 'it's racism' chant, because all it does is to encourage people to investigate the claim and then come to the realisation that the jews are not a race and never have been. Read Shlomo Sands: Invention of the Jewish People.
If you think he's a racist, then procecute.
The majority of israeli jews are of european descent, FACT.
