Obama Statement on Shimon Peres: But Enough About Me
White House Dossier ^ | 9/28/16 | Keith Koffler

Posted on 09/28/2016 6:37:06 PM PDT by Nachum

President Obama last night issued a name-dropping, self-referential statement about Israeli President Shimon Peres, who died Tuesday at 93, noting three times that he and Shimon were “friends.”

“My friend Shimon”

“Our dear friend Shimon Peres”

“I will always be grateful that I was able to call Shimon my friend.”

Like, what kind of friends? As in, Hey Shimon, I’m calling because you’ll never guess what happened to me today!”

They weren’t friends. I doubt if Peres, whose personality was seared in the struggle for the birth and preservation of Israel, had much respect for this man who rose to power through charm and little else. A man who offered up a moral equivalence between the Israelis and the Palestinians, pressuring the Jews into concessions and treating with disrespect Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu because he personally disliked him.

That is, he didn’t consider Netanyahu a “friend.”

Obama will go down in history as the man who may have sealed the destruction of Israel by allowing Iran to gain nuclear weapons and, most likely, setting off a nuclear arms race among Arab states in the Middle East. We should have taken care of the Iran problem ourselves, but failing that, no doubt the Israelis were inhibited from doing so partially because they knew the petulant American president would sternly object.

FUBO.
Never before have I had absolutely no respect for the Executive Branch. For nearly 8 years it has been occupied by an enemy.

There’s little doubt that Peres thought obama a self-indulgent, self-absorbed *sshole.

Peres didn’t share the current Leftist American craze for PC self-deception.
