President Obama Has a Medal-Worthy Record

The President just received the medal mentioned in the article,The 1st time an honor like this has been given to a US president.

http://www.algemeiner.com/2013/03/15/president-obama-has-a-medal-worthy-record/

"Later this month, President Barack Obama will take his first presidential trip to Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Obama’s trip “will give me and the people of Israel the opportunity to express our appreciation for what he has done for Israel.” To show Israel’s gratitude for Obama’s support, Israeli President Shimon Peres announced that he would present Obama with Israel’s Medal of Distinction during a special ceremony in Israel.

"Since taking office in 2009, Obama has made supporting Israel one of his highest priorities. From championing sanctions against Iran to providing Israel with expedited supplemental assistance for the Iron Dome, Obama has been Israel’s most important ally. Peres said when he announced the award that Obama “is a true friend of the State of Israel, and has been since the beginning of his public life” and that he has “has stood with Israel in times of crisis.”

Obama has ensured that Israel’s annual aid of $3 billon remains untouched in this time of tighter budgets, and has allocated more than $11.4 billion in foreign aid over the past four years. That aid has allowed Israel to equip itself with the best and most advanced weapons available and restored the Jewish State’s Qualitative Military Edge (QME)—which lapsed during President George W. Bush’s Administration.

Obama’s vocal support for Israel—as well as $275 million in funding for the Iron Dome—was crucial during November’s operation Pillar of Defense. The supplemental funding ensured that the Iron Dome system was able to protect Israeli citizens from Hamas’ rocket attacks by intercepting 85 percent of the rockets fired towards populated areas. Iron Dome has been lauded by Israeli leaders for saving countless lives and was celebrated during this year’s American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) Policy Conference."

Israel needs American power. The President needs Israel's good will.

Circle jerk.

I thought the Kenyan was a horrible antisemite who had it in for Israel?
There's been a bit of whining about that since 2009...

His speech today regards both sides of the argument and the way to peace was outstanding.

How terribly predictable. Yes, I'm quite sure it's a mutual love-fest between them.

If you continually parrot ignorance you should expect to be wrong, get used to it.

I thought so as well.

And yes, unsurprisingly diplomacy is based on the principle of
you scratch my back I'll scratch yours. Nothing shocking about
that and nothing inherently wrong with it either.

Sometimes, more than words are needed.

This image was taken at a Palestinian protest at Israeli plans to colonise ("settle") the E1 area just outside Jerusalem. When complete, this will totally cut off East Jerusalem from the rest of the West Bank. Palestinians intend to have East Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian State.

The Israeli plans are a blatant breach of previous Israeli commitments not to develop the E1 area.

The European Union has described Israel's plans to colonise E1 as "the final nail in the coffin of the Two State Solution".

Well, I didn`t know the whole middle east conflict was going to be te subject.

The purpose of my OP was to snub the anti-Obamites....who seek to paint the President as an anti-Semite and anti Israel ....in the most retarded ways.

Thank you all for participating.

Not my ignorance I'm talking about here, sweetie:

Whining Zionists 1
Whining Zionists 2
Whining Zionists 3
Whining Zionists 4

You seriously don't remember any of these allegations? There were days of shouting and ranting in here about teh Kenyan "dissing" Bibi, iirc.
Obviously Netanyahu has realised that he needs America more than America needs him, and is now trying to play nicey nicey and smooth things over.
Either that, of course, or all of the histrionic bullshit linked to above was ridiculous nonsense with no bearing on the facts in the first place.

It's mystifying that any one might feel a need to demonstrate that Obama isn't "an anti-Semite and anti Israel ....in the most retarded ways". After delivering a glimmer of hope that his Presidency might be a welcome change from the usual US pattern of craven subservience to Zionists in Cairo 2009, his subsequent record of shameful surrender to AIPAC speaks for itself.

Perhaps it should be taken as another indicator of the level of malice, hyperbole, paranoia and falsehood that is the stock in trade of Zionists

Gee and here I thought you were merely passing along some good new about the POTUS. How silly of me. Of course the point was to make someone else look bad and call them retarded to boot. That is your mo after all

I said you were parroting them, that implies that someone else said it first and you find it worth repeating. Sorry but it still makes you look as bad as they are.

Actually it is expected comming from a bigot. But I will give you credit for switching things up and calling them righties instead of cons. Variety is the spice of life after all.

It really comes down to "Who can you trust?"

A) The Right-wing controlled American media (that is to say Fox-"News"), or

B) The nation of Israel
