The right wing bible thumpers must be foaming at the mouth about President Obama Receiving Israels highest award since it is not in their interest to see peace in the middle east . It wrecks their nutter scenario of the end times
At a state dinner in Jerusalem Thursday evening, Israel's President Shimon Peres awarded Obama with Israel’s highest honor — the Presidential Medal of Distinction — emphasizing what Peres called his "unforgettable contribution" to the security of Israel.
U.S. support for the Iron Dome missile defense system had been instrumental in saving Israeli lives, Peres said.
As Obama sat at the dais with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara before a room full of Israeli dignitaries, Peres called out the U.S. president's "tireless work to make Israel strong to make peace possible."
Peres said he was "convinced" the United States "will do whatever is necessary on the Iranian threat."
Obama said he was accepting the award "on behalf of the American people."
