Obama barracks for the apostles of hate

THE best thing about January 2017 will be the presence of a new American President.

Seven years ago, the Norwegian Nobel committee awarded the then newly-elected President Barack Obama its Peace Prize.

If it had any integrity, it should strip him of this award in the next three weeks before he leaves office in shame and disgrace.

Not that the Nobel committee has a great record in handing out peace prizes.

In 1994, it gave PLO terrorist leader Yasser Arafat the same award, but he shared it with Israel’s Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin.

Unsurprisingly, Arafat walked away from the peace deal and resumed murdering civilians.

He was an evil man and the barbaric organisation he founded lives on and keeps killing innocents.

Obama may not be evil but he has all but killed hopes of any peace anytime soon in the Middle East, and in particular, he has ensured that Palestinian terrorists will feel they have been given a charter to kill by the UN with the blessing of America.
