Since the Norwegians have turned the Peace Prize into a political tool, is it food for Table Talk?
After they gave the Prize to Arafat, maybe we should just try to ignore them.
But maybe we could add one thought.
People are saying that this award for the President’s rhetoric is equally a rebuke of the former president.
How does the President's diplomatic rhetoric look from a so-called “Jewish” perspective?
George W., who was touted by some Israelis as “the best friend Israel ever had”, was the first president to use the term “two-state solution.” Even though a Palestinian state would be disastrous for Israel, thanks to him, this goal has become official US policy.
Barak O. has reiterated that policy and further declared that the Jewish People’s connection to the Land comes from our suffering in the Holocaust (see his Cairo speech).
So here’s the Q for your table: Do you think that the President’s rhetoric will have any impact on peace in the Land of Israel? If not, what will?
Shabbat Shalom and Happy Simchas/t Torah
