Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a short while ago today (Wednesday), 5 October 2011, called Technion Professor Dan Shechtman, who has been awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his research on quasicrystals: "I would like to congratulate you, on behalf of the citizens of Israel, for your award, which expresses the intellect of our people. Every Israeli is happy today and every Jew in the world is proud. I also congratulated your institution, the Technion, on the centenary of its founding," the Prime Minister said.

US President Barack Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize

US President Barack Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize

At first let me wish him all the best,

and let us hope that he is the right man in the right place in the right time

When I first heared about it, I thought it is a joke

and that was the reaction of many others

? So, Why, and for What

He is a President for less than a year

He still did not do anything

that really changes the present or the future

He did not end the U.S presence in Iraq and Afghanistan

and still did not make peace in The Middle East.

I have to admit that he is a great speaker and

that he has very very good ideas, but all this is only

a potential. So Why does he desreve the prize now

My opinion is that by awarding of the Nobel Prize

he will be now "forced" to act under pressure

of time

President Obama needs to convince the world that

he deserves The Nobel Prize
