After U.S. President Barack Obama's winning Nobel Prize, leaders of Israel and Palestine expressed their feelings. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed the hope that his presidency would "usher in a new era of peace." In a message to Obama, he said:

Congratulations on winning the Nobel Prize for Peace... You have already inspired so many people around the world, and I know that this award also expresses the hope that your Presidency will usher in a new era of peace and reconciliation.

Another Npbel Prize holder, Israeli President Shimon Peres, also sent Obama a letter congratulating his Nobel Prize. In his letter, he wrote:

Very few leaders if at all were able to change the mood of the entire world in such a short while with such profound impact. You provided the entire humanity with fresh hope, with intekllectual determination, and a feeling that there is a lord in heaven and believers on earth.

Under your leadership, peace became a real and original agenda. And from Jerusalem, I am sure all the bells of engagement and understanding will ring again.

You gave us a license to dream and act in a noble direction.

On the Palestinian front, Fatah welcomed the prize but Hamas was sceptical. The chief Palestinian peace negotiator, Saeb Erekat expressed hope that Obama "will be able to achieve peace in the Middle East". On the other hand, Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri said: "Obama has a long way to go still and lots of work to do before he can deserve a reward... Obama only made promises and did not contribute any substance to world peace... And he has not done anything to ensure justice for the sake of Arab and Muslim causes."

The person of the Zionist entity has a small point: Obama can change the mood of fools in the world. This is quite promising for us. As I've said before in a somewhat different manner http://wp.me/snCIw-nb , we have found that the Norwegians are suffering from the hallucinations that we cherish: they believe in peace through public talk. We believe it is right and just that the infidels deceive themselves through endless pompous chatter. We are conciliatory in public, will gladly meet Western Fools for Peace (if their women cover their heads), and will graciously serve the tea of deception. Yes, do put down your arms for an infidel nuclear-free world. We will finish our nuclear research for the peaceful purpose of eliminating illegitimate national entities. When the filth of the earth is removed from the map and their ashes swept away in a fire storm and mushroom cloud, there will be peace. We believe in peace and nuclear disarmament for all others. Peace through annihilation of the non-believers. Norway is for peace. We are for peace. They and their sycophants are prize jewels of ignorance that remain true to their nature, fortunately for us, and our intelligence services enjoy a good treasure hunt.
