Obama honors Israeli criminal with Medal of Freedom

US President Barack Obama has awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Israeli President Shimon Peres, the man who has overseen the killing of Palestinian women and children by Israeli forces in the occupied territories for decades.

Obama awarded the 88-year-old Israeli president the highest civilian honor in the United States during a dinner ceremony in the White House on Wednesday.

“No individual has done so much over so many years to build our alliance… as the leader we honor tonight -- our friend, Shimon Peres,” Obama said during the event, which also hosted former US President Bill Clinton.

Obama also stated that the “bonds” between the United States and Israel are “unbreakable” and “non-negotiable.”

The Israeli president has been honored by Obama a few months ahead of the US presidential election of November 2012.

“You have pledged a lasting friendship for Israel,” Peres told Obama.

The Washington ceremony in honor of a major Israeli figure comes two weeks after Israeli aircraft carried out an attack on southern Gaza Strip, injuring three Palestinians.

Israel conducts airstrikes and ground attacks against the occupied Palestinian territories on an almost regular basis.

The Tel Aviv regime also denies about 1.7 million people in Gaza their basic rights, including the freedom of movement and the right to decent living, work, health and education.

In a Wednesday interview with Press TV, renowned American philosopher and linguist Noam Chomsky lashed out at the US for violating the international law with “total impunity” and argued that Israel along with other US “allies and clients” has inherited that privilege from Washington.

“That’s what power is,” Chomsky noted, “so for example the United States itself cannot be brought before any international tribunal. The one attempt to do so, the International Court of Justice- US simply dismissed it.”

The celebrated academician slammed the US for manipulating the concept of “international community” for the achievement of its hegemonic objectives and argued that in the Western discourse the term “refers to the United States and anyone who happens to be going along with it.”

My comment; What a stange world we live in; terrorists are rewarded with medals or Nobel peace prizes, while their victims are being demonized. This is insanity.

Nice comment by a reader;

"What freakin circus/freak show they are. they make up and give them selves medals of honor, peace, nobel prizes ect. they are delusional beyond comprehension. this is like a member of the third reich giving hitler a medal of peace award. they also gave nobama a nobel peace prize..hahahaha. i doubt if the up to 2 million dead iraqis and afghani kids and civillian's living siblings would also agree."

Have you ever considered that your perceptions simply don't match reality?

Great man , well deserved . Shimon was instrumental in many peace overtures that were thwarted by the terrorist regimes of Palestine past and continue to be with Hamas. Right now the terrorists Hamas is against any two state solution and only believes that all jews need to pack up leave and leave the land . all or nothing demand.

I think it is your perpection that doesn't match reality. There one questions that American refuse to acknowledge is"who has been at war non-stop?". Who has been killing people around the world? Yet at the same time called themself peacemaker and freedom loving people.

You people have a great mental ability to forget incident like Iran Air 655, where after killing over 200 civillian the US president gave them medals. Yet every year lament about the Lockerbie bombing without even an mention of Iran Air 655. Those people on PanAm died because of American injustice in the world. American have only themselve to blame. Go and ask anyone if they know about Iran Air 655. I would guarantee you that few know. There is your media censorship. It is digusting that the Western media have the gall to talk about censorship.

Or My Lai, where over 500 women and children were massacred and the racist American perpatrator got house arrest as his punishment. The massacred by US troops are handled in US, the victim doesn't even get justice. If it were reverse, the US would demand the death penalty. The American valued life of people in the developing world as cheap pawns to serve their own decadent lifestyle. You people have no remorse about the suffering of Iraqi, Afghanis, and Vietnamese, and all other people that come under American murderous rampage.

Yeah, talk about reality and perception. It is American who perception of themselve and reality doesn't match. Now the world is beginning to see beyong the Hollywood and propaganda that paints evil as good, and imperialism as freedom, or war as peace. Hollywood and Western mainstream media have long try to propagate the belief that the West is altruistic and honest. Yet history have shown time and time again that the "White man speaks with forked tongue".

You people are disgusting. American should look themselve in the mirror before talking about all that bullshit about democracy.

The medals given in the West is only worth as much as weigth in metal. Obama got a Peace prize for do jack ****. Nothing that came out of Western instiutition is worth anything

 

[PERSIAN GOD KING]

Obama himself is a criminal.

 

[ashok321]

Not even a single soul belonging to Ummah/OIC complained when the man like Arafat was awarded a Nobel prize, so why this charade now?

When Gadhafi was implicated on lockerbie, every pakistani sided with his alleged innocence, and finally what we saw, he compnesated many million USD to victims of that Panam airline because he was nailed.

And more, pakistan has named a cricket stadium on his name...lol

You might as well criticize your town policeman.

You people have a great mental ability to forget incident like Iran Air 655, where after killing over 200 civillian the US president gave them medals.

I don't forget that. Note the U.S. paid compensation - about $200,000 per civilian. The U.S. didn't admit fault, however - there may be more to the story that we won't know of until records are declassified in six years or so.

Or My Lai, where over 500 women and children were massacred and the perpatrator got house arrest as his punishment.

That Lt. was court-martialed and sentenced to life in prison. A morally corrupt president commuted that to house arrest. (Nixon was eventually compelled to resign from office.) I doubt that a president today would have commuted the sentence to such a crime.

You people are disgusting. American should look themselve in the mirror before talking about all that bullshit about democracy.

America has lively, multi-sided debates at home, in its media, and in the halls of power - Congress, the Administration, the judiciary. Would that Pakistanis could claim the same!

You bet, he supported HAMAS openly. But these xenophobic hypocrites will never see the other side of the story.

 

[ashok321]

Lol..
The most powerful person on earth - POTUS - like W George Bush, Bill Clinton, Obama all are criminals...

Please take away your garbage which will have no ramifications/implications on your rantings anyway.
