1. I always suspected there was an alternative reality to the
tom ,   tel aviv   (06.14.12)
world I live in.... Too much Si-Fi reading! Now I know for sure: they even dispense awards to each other, on the "Other Side" :-)) Some of you shout "free Pollard!" and some "change the wrapping paper on chewing gum!" ; but you must know , sound doesn't carry through worm-holes.
2. Sounds like a reward
(06.14.12)
Sounds like a reward for opposing an Iran strike ! Dagan will be the next awardee.
3. Peres Medal Of Freedom
joe sombrero ,   usa   (06.14.12)
In my opinion Something is rotten in Denmark about Peres getting that medal in my opinion. Why would he get a medal that is given to people who has done very great service to the US. What has he done to merit the medal? I bet there are people in Israel wondering the same thing?
4. President Peres ...
J Galt ,   Hidden Valley, USA   (06.14.12)
you have been duped by the best. You have just joined the league of Soetoro's useful idiots. Soon you and Israel will be thrown under the bus. Save yourself and Israel .. give the medal back ... NOW!
5. peres freedom award
mohson   (06.14.12)
peres gets his freedom award, pollard will not be set free and israel gets 67 borders, arab rockets,d eath and death. This same result is brought by such luminaries as beilin, livni, olmert, ben ami,d ennis ross all of whom have harmed israel's negotiating position.
6. a worthwhile video to watch

7. 13 winners, only Peres gets special treatment, why?
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (06.14.12)
8. obama can stick the medal up his ass
ADAM ,   CHICAGO   (06.14.12)
if the iranian bomb hits israel the freedom ideal will die with 7 million jews
9. Only Obama could come up with mustard brown chair
Rivkah   (06.14.12)
upholstery. Hope the next US President is a US citizen born in the USA and not an illegal alien interloper. The striped fabric of blue and cream was good for generations of US Presidents, but not for a fag like Obama who likes to eat dogs since that is a traditional Indonesian dish from the country he is a citizen of. The sight of him makes me puke.
10. Award DISGUSTS all Israelis
Ralph (literally) ,   Israel   (06.14.12)
Of course Peres could not deny his ego and refuse the award.... which is what he SHOULD have done because Obama's refusal to release Pollard.
11. Peres
Just me ,   Israel   (06.14.12)
Is not the counterpart to Obama, Netanyahu is. Peres should be where Pollard is, for his Oslo war, and his complicit involment in his continued political imprisonment. And any friend of Obama, is no friend of Israel.... This might get Obama a vote, make Peres arrogant, more so!, but it means absolutely nothing. The king liar Obama hands out awards to those who agree with him, and then throws them under the bus. Peres is being a "useful idiot".
12. Peres has disgraced himself.
Menachem Ben Yakov ,   Yerushalayim Israel   (06.14.12)
Peres is so addicted to flattery he is willing to betray his own countrymen for a pat on the head. He knows he is simply being used by Obama to win votes but he could not care less. Time for this befuddled old man to retire before he tarnishes the entire country with his obsequiousness.
13. The decrepit old fart left Pollard still hanging.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (06.14.12)
14. Are we watching...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (06.14.12)
...the prelude to the work of a pressure cooker into which Israel is going to be placed by Obama if he is re-elected, so as to extract more and more risky gestures out of the sovereign liberal democratic nation-state of the Jewish people in order to attempt to apply some theoretical views produced by the followers of the Rev. J. Wright and associates of the late Prof. E. Said...??
15. @3 - nope I am not wondering, I know!
Israeli ,   Israel   (06.14.12)
You see there are some of us here in Israel who actually read and learn and know things. So I, along with bunches of other people here in Israel, know what it was that our President Mr. Peres did in order to merit that award! ;-)
16. Wow! What a bunch of jealous sounding useless TBs (& TBers)
(06.14.12)
17. Election trick
(06.14.12)
18. #9 - it reminds him of furniture in Motel 6
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (06.14.12)
Days of elegance brought into the White House by Jackie Kennedy or Nancy Reagan are long gone... We have tasteless usurper-in-chief and his wife in the WH. Motel 6 is his level.
19. WHO CARES ABOUT POLLARD, A SPY IS A CRIMINAL, PERIOD!
(06.14.12)
20. Meaningless...part of the charm offensive to win over
Al   (06.14.12)
the brain dead American Jews. They are brain dead and should Obama be re-elected and America really start to tank then who do you thing will end up being the korban? The American Jews. Yes they are that dumb.
21. WE are very proud of you !
Aviva ,   Israeli   (06.14.12)
Kolhakavod ! Any person who says nasty things should get a life ! He has worked tirelessly for the State of Israel.
22. Thank you.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (06.14.12)
the cynicism of the talkbackers is truly amazing. The award given President Peres represents the strong political, military and strategic relationship between Israel and the United States. The award transcends individuals. Israel is the only true ally the United States has in the middle east. The United States, the most powerful nation in the world is a close ally and friend of Israel. And I say, thank you.
23. How low will he go ? PEREZ and . . .
AlbertoGA ,   St. George, USA   (06.14.12)
YAK what a Farce ! From Obama and Perez The (2) Master UTOPIANS.
24. #21 good choice of words
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (06.14.12)
It was Rabin who said that Peres is a tireless backstabber, and he was right.
25. @9 ur comment is disgusting
(06.14.12)
26. Presidents an Nobel peace prize winners
Haider ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (06.14.12)
award each other, what´s so strange in that?
27. Israeli Brezhnev,Eternally Living Peres,does he have room fo
ab   (06.14.12)
r more medals ? If one looks at pictures of Brezhnev his whole breast was covered with medals,no room for more.Peres wouldn't want to be left behind.
28. Jonathan Pollard
Moragh   (06.14.12)
Wouldn't it have been better to give Jonathan Pollard his freedom. Peres already has one foot in the grave and the other on a Banana skin.At his age how can be possibly plan how he can enjoy his so-called "freedom".
29.  Pollard had no right to freedom
Nora Tel Aviv   (06.14.12)
Who prevented Pollard from entering the Israeli embassy ? One should ask Shimon Peres, the freedom medal receiver, what he knows about that.
30. The election at work!!
David ,   TN USA   (06.14.12)
Just look at obama with that big big smile of deceit. It sets right with me that Peres took the award, but the problem is who gave the reward. And yes, I feel that Pollard should be released. My thoughts are: why hasn't any one president given way to release Pollard, and could there be more than what meets the eye?
