As alluded to in an AT post dated March 10, 2010, and evidenced by his off limits to the press meeting yesterday, Barack Obama will do anything do avoid being photographed with Israeli PM Netanyahu.

From FOXNews.com:

In a break with custom that seemed linked to the crisis complicating U.S.-Israel relations, reporters were not invited to see them shake hands and begin their talks. It is highly unusual for a visiting ally not to be seen with the president, either for photographs or statements.

Too duplicitous to ever be forthright with their true intentions, the Obama administration is plainly antagonizing Israel, both overtly and covertly, for the sole purpose of remaining in the good graces of Arabs

Note to Obama: eventually they will demand that you come right out and declare that Israel is no longer an ally of the US. It's just a matter of time. So man-up Barry, and quit playing hide-and-go-seek with the Press, the American public, and your anti-Isreali cohorts.

Whatever your opinion about Israel's stance on developing lands within this disputed territory, this tactic by the President is inevitably going to produce "unintentional" consequences of biblical proportions.

The most disturbing part of this is that I think he's okay with that.
