Moments after news of Shimon Peres’s death emerged early Wednesday morning, eulogies began pouring in from world leaders from across the globe.
“There are few people who we share this world with who change the course of human history, not just through their role in human events, but because they expand our moral imagination and force us to expect more of ourselves. My friend Shimon was one of those people,” US President Barack Obama, who is expected to attend the late president’s funeral Friday, said in a statement. […]
“A light has gone out, but the hope he gave us will burn forever,” Obama continued. “Shimon Peres was a soldier for Israel, for the Jewish people, for justice, for peace, and for the belief that we can be true to our best selves — to the very end of our time on Earth, and in the legacy that we leave to others. For the gift of his friendship and the example of his leadership, todah rabah, Shimon.” …

Oh gag...
But obHamaSS is the light ....Believe him , the “piss Nobel price” !
Didn’t Shimon convince Arafat to develop some land for the Palestinians? This (pro-Palestinian+Hamas)background may explain why Obama has suddenly let go of his golf clubs to attend a funeral for a Jewish Leader.

Trump should go. Wouldn’t that be wild.
Netanyahu should make him wait inthe kitchen to get in.
He must be able to tie it to a fundraiser with American Jews in Israel or he would not be going. Also Peres was known as a dove. In Israel you have Hawks and Doves.
He was referring to the light inside his own head.
My tin foil antennae went up. If Obama is praising him, he must have done something bad.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

I’m sure he’ll bring a portrait of himself as a headstone gift.
Can’t wait to see how many times obama mentions himself during the eulogy
Actually this seems like a rather dangerous time for obama to visit Israel
Not feeling easy about this
Too much prophecy stuff I guess
He’s only going there for the chance to take selfies.
Pro-Israel Americans should NOT interpret this as Obama belatedly warming up to Israel in his final months in office.
Agreed. Perez I think did mean well but he did his people a tremendous amount of damage and Obama loves that
I agree. Of course, when I met him in 1984, I was innocent of his leftist leanings.
Will he be buried on the occupied Mt. of Olives?
Perfect timing and location (Israel) for the Hand of God.
Yeah, not my favorite guy in Israel, not by a long shot. I wish his family comfort, but I won’t lionize his attempts to give up land for empty promises to the worst savages on the planet.
