I am Ashamed of our president's action's toward Israel

I feel like I have a recalcitrant* teen age son who has insulted someone very important to me. Only this time it is our president and he speaks and acts for our nation. I hope God is not looking but I know he is. Here is what the Telegraph has to say about it. via Power Line.
Benjamin Netanyahu was left to stew in a White House meeting room for over an hour after President Barack Obama abruptly walked out of tense talks to have supper with his family, it emerged on Thursday.
The snub marked a fresh low in US-Israeli relations and appeared designed to show Mr Netanyahu how low his stock had fallen in Washington after he refused to back down in a row over Jewish construction in east Jerusalem.
The Israeli prime minister arrived at the White House on Tuesday evening brimming with confidence that the worst of the crisis in his country's relationship with the United States was over.  Read it all.
 Here is part of what Power Line says about it:
Earlier this week, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu visited the White House. The details of the meeting have been slow to come out, but we are now learning what transpired. The Telegraph reports that Obama opened the meeting by presenting a list of 13 demands to Netanyahu. One was a complete freeze on Jewish building in eastern Jerusalem.
When Netanyahu did not immediately agree to the demands, Obama went to eat dinner. In one account he told Netanyahu to consider "the error of his ways." In another he said, "I'm still around. Let me know if there is anything new."
Obama reportedly returned after an hour to repeat his demands. Because Netanyahu still did not agree, there was no joint statement or normal press coverage.
One Israeli newspaper summarized the encounter this way:
There is no humiliation exercise that the Americans did not try on the prime minister and his entourage. Bibi received in the White House the treatment reserved for the president of Equatorial Guinea.
But Obama would never treat the president of Equatorial Guinea that way.
I say call it what it is, anti-semitism.
