I am in America, not of it.
I must admit I was surprised to see Obama get it when he did after such a short time in office.
Peace deals between Bahrain and United Arab Emirates and Israel, 2 more than Obama had when they gifted him with most popular award. So high school. Lame not what the prize was created for community activists that have done nothingEven as an Obama supporter I never really saw what he did to deserve the peace prize. That being said, the idea that trump deserves it is laughable, and we should all remember that the guy who nominated him for it is the same guy who nominated him last time, and it's going to prove just as successful this time.
What president has done more for mid east peace?
Jimmy's was deserved, too. Good southern boy good guy. So a argument for Trump Nobel Peace Prize is a qualified one. Much more than Obama. He probably even said really? When he got his popularity trophy.Jimmy Carter
Except that Israel and Egypt share a border and fought two active wars. Establishing peace between two non-warring partners is not quite the same. Anwar Sadat paid the ultimate price for it.Jimmy's was deserved, too. Good southern boy good guy. So a argument for Trump Nobel Peace Prize is a qualified one. Much more than Obama.

Still 100 times nore deserving than bobamaExcept that Israel and Egypt share a border and fought two active wars. Establishing peace between two non-warring partners is not quite the same. Anwar Sadat paid the ultimate price for it.
Bill ClintonWhat president has done more for mid east peace?
By giving endless territories to a terrorist called Yasser Arafat? How many Intifadas have been made by Palestinians? How many terrorists attacks have there been despite Oslo peace accords? Israeli academic Efraim Karsh described the Accords as "the starkest strategic blunder in [Israel's] history," creating the conditions for "the bloodiest and most destructive confrontation between Israelis and Palestinians since 1948" and radicalizing "a new generation of Palestinians" living under the rule of the Palestinian National Authority and Hamas with "vile anti-Jewish (and anti-Israel) incitement unparalleled in scope and intensity since Nazi Germany." Karsh notes: "All in all, more than 1,600 Israelis have been murdered and another 9,000 wounded since the signing of the DOP [Declaration of Principles]—nearly four times the average death toll of the preceding twenty-six years. These accords were a failure since the start.Bill Clinton
Clinton got Yithzak Rabin and Yasser Arafat to sign the Oslo Accord in 1993 and the Oslo Accords 2 in 1995. In addition he got Yithzak Rabin and King Hussein of Jordan to sign the Israel-Jordan Peace Treaty in 1994.
Middle East has never been closer to peace than it was in 1995, before Rabin's murder by an Israelian nationalist on November 4th
Let me remind one good thing because you seem to have a short memory. So let me remind you some facts.Efraim Karsh... I should have known you would go for that lunatic. They guy's well known for being a right-wing, anti-arab, pro-zionist extremist. Taking him as a reference when disccussing about the middle-east is like taking Tariq Ramadan as reference when discussing about Islam in western countries.
Interesting that you seem to be bothered by Yasser Arafat getting it but not by Shimon Peres and Yithzak Rabin... It was a SHARED price, which means either they all deserved it or none of them did but there's no way Peres and Rabin deserved it but not Arafat...1994 - Yaser ArafatWTF???)
[...]
1994 - Shimon Peres
1994 - Yitzhak Rabin
Wasn't Arafat a terrorist?Interesting that you seem to be bothered by Yasser Arafat getting it but not by Shimon Peres and Yithzak Rabin... It was a SHARED price, which means either they all deserved it or none of them did but there's no way Peres and Rabin deserved it but not Arafat...
Peres and Rabin were statesmen Arafat was a terrorist that embezzled almost a billion dollars from his own people.Weren't all three?
