Lapid: Obama needs to return his Nobel Peace Prize
Arutz Sheva ^ | 19/12/17 | David Rosenberg

Posted on 12/19/2017 12:21:46 AM PST by Eleutheria5

Yesh Atid chairman and former Finance Minister Yair Lapid urged former President Barack Obama to return the Nobel Peace Prize he was awarded in 2009, if an investigative report regarding his administration’s behavior towards the Hezbollah terror group is correct.

Speaking with party members on Monday, Lapid responded to a report released by Politico early Monday morning which claims that the Obama administration systematically shielded the Hezbollah terrorist organization from prosecution, blunting the efforts of the Drug Enforcement Administration to crack-down on Hezbollah’s global drug trade and money laundering rackets.

“If the report is correct,” Lapid told party members at a Yesh Atid meeting Monday, “then Barack Obama must return the Nobel Peace Prize he received.”

In October 2009, Barack Obama, who entered office that January, was selected for that year’s Nobel Peace Prize.

Lapid said he could not confirm the report, but that if it is accurate, it would confirm Israel’s greatest fears regarding the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

“First of all, at this point all we have is an investigative report on a respected website, so we don’t know if it’s true or not. But if the report is correct, then Barack Obama must return the Nobel Peace Prize he received.”

Now just a cotton pickin' minit here. Let's be fair. Obama lied, endangered millions, and threatened the stability of an already unstable region even further. So why should he have to return a prize given many times to similar malefactors. True, he didn't commit mass murder, but the consequences of his actions could cause more deaths than Yassir Arafat ever did, and he did help narcotics traffickers and terrorists to avoid prosecution. So why shouldn't he keep his Nobel Piece Prize?

In Sweden they don’t have a problem with bending over to service Islam. I’m sure the drug $ was put to good use by Hizbollah. Obama can keep his prize for what it is worth.

Why, yes. They probably used the money to purchase rockets and brainwash children, and other worthy causes.

IMO Obama conspired against Israel in that he helped topple governments next to it, to destabilize the area and set the stage for an overthrow of it.

Soros, Clinton, McCain, Graham, and Rubio were in on it either sharing the same goals or through ignorance.

McCain and Rubio were probably ignorant, but even so they would have made better POTUSes than BHO.

Wouldn’t a Nobel prize fall under the emoluments clause?

And considering that his entire presidency revolved around two major efforts: one, the takeover of the U.S. health system. Two, the total genocide of the Israeli people. The reason for all his dealings and deals with the middle eastern actors/countries was to facilitate the eventual attack on Israel. Hezbollah and Hamas are the final attack elements after Iran launches a nuclear attack. They are meant to finish off any remaining Israeli. Discovery of the vast tunnel network was a setback for their plan, but not a show stopper.

Like Al Gore’s and Arafat’s, these awards are good for smashing insects or grinding sesame seeds.

The Nobel peace prize is awarded by the Norvegians, not by the Swedes. Not to say that they are much different socialist beasts, even if the Norvegians are a little bit less ready than the Swedes to give away their petro-dollars and their women to the muslimes

Nobel Piece prizes are now available in specially marked packages of Crackerjacks. Nobel War prizes, you have to work for.

There isn’t enough soap on the planet Earth to wash the blood off of Sheik Obama’s hands or the filthy lies from his mouth.

Obama’s correct place to be is as an inmate at Gitmo.
