Trump not only ended the Israel-Hamas war, but he is changing the face of the Middle East, promising peace and prosperity to people who have been mired in war and hate for generations.
President Barack Obama gave a major speech in Cairo on Israel and Gaza amid the turmoil of the first Gaza War, brief as it was.
“We cannot impose peace,” Obama said in a much ballyhooed —but now forgotten — speech on bringing the U.S. and the Muslim world together.
Indeed, he couldn’t. But President Donald Trump could.
Instead, during his presidency Obama sought to accommodate Iran, headquarters for anti-Israel proxy terrorist groups Hezbollah, the Houthis and Hamas, all dedicated to the destruction of Israel.
Trump bombed them.
No matter, three months later, with no accomplishments, Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, not for bringing about peace to the Middle East, but for talking about it.
The award was for Obama’s “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”
It was a classic example of awarding words over deeds, a sort of participation trophy for statesmanship.
Yet, Trump, who did bring about peace and the freeing of all the remaining Israeli hostages held in inhumane captivity by depraved Hamas terrorists, was ignored. So much for deeds over words.
It is a classic example of leadership style. Obama was a president who led from behind; Trump is a president who leads from the front.
