Obama has betrayed mission to forge Mideast peace
Haaretz ^ | October 11, 2009 | Gideon Levy

Posted on 10/10/2009 10:53:47 PM PDT by myknowledge

Oslo decided to change its ways and begin giving out deferred Nobel Prizes: Win now, pay tomorrow. There's no other way to explain the bewildering, not to say bizarre, decision to grant the Nobel Prize for Peace to Barack Obama. Just like the reserved, esteemed Norwegians on the prize committee, we here, sweating and bleeding, were overjoyed with Barack Obama's election as U.S. president - black, eloquent, enchanting, striking and promising. Many an eye welled with tears, from Jerusalem to Rafah, at his unforgettable inauguration address, and even as late as his Cairo speech we still clung to his beautiful words.

We here in the Middle East could not help but be impressed by the new spirit he ushered in. Negotiations with Iran, a handshake with Hugo Chavez, openness toward Cuba, tolerance toward North Korea and the cancellation of the missile shield in Eastern Europe. A new dawn broke after years of darkness under his predecessor, for whom the Apaches did the talking and who primitively divided the world into good guys and bad guys with his imbecilic invasion of Iraq and hopeless occupation of Afghanistan. America became less hated in the world.

If the Norwegians wanted to reward a promise, Obama has earned his Nobel. If they wanted to reward a change in the language America speaks to the world, he is the honorary laureate. If they wanted to reward his intentions, that would be fine, too. He might even deserve a prize for promoting peace, but only pending the fine print on his diploma, which will run: Anywhere but the Middle East. For the information of the esteemed committee members: Obama is not a complete package. So far he has betrayed his mission in the one region most threatening to world peace.

BHO has failed to do his job to secure 'peace' in the Middle East.

This is what his globalist elite puppeteers want him to do: Prolong the occupation of Iraq & Afghanistan.

He rightfully DOES NOT deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. That is akin to awarding a high school diploma to a student with straight F grades on his 12th grade report card.

Please take him. He's yours. Gratis. And good luck with that.

They want Obama to do nothing, while our enemies are busy doing everything.

They know Obama’s record of voting “present” and they gave him the prize for exactly that.

It's not Obama who "can," it's Israel. Israel can twist the arms of any president. You don't want to freeze the settlements? Okay, never mind. You don't want to take responsibility for the crimes in Gaza? Okay, never mind. You don't want to end the occupation? Okay, never mind. This is not the conduct of a Nobel laureate and president. -Gideon Levy

Does this guy call himself a Jew? What a disgraceful pig. He should be tried for treason, and the Haaretz Building should be used as target practice for IDF tanks.

With all that drinking and drugging obama did in 12th grade, this is obama’s life story.

Gideon Levy is one of the most extreme post-Zionist Leftists in Israel. He makes fellow Leftist Akiva Eldar at Haaretz look moderate. And yet even Levy is disgusted with the Obama approach to politics: all talk and no action.

I guess it’s good to know that Israel has MSM-sized idiots in their press too. I guess.

We here in the Middle East could not help but be impressed

"You there" in the Middle East are very easily impressed indeed.
