You might want to update your history there. Arab spring, which was supported by Obama, wasn't started by him. Some transitions happened mostly peacefully, like Egypt. Obama supported that as well. Libya wasn't a peaceful transition because Gaddafi decided not to step down. And then there was Syria where ISIS used the chaos of protests to carry out an invasion.
Blaming that on Obama is like blaming the pandemic on Trump quite frankly.

O'Biden did nothing to counter the Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS. It's even worse than that, O'Biden forced the US Military support the Muslim Brotherhood.

Keeping the Golan Heights won in the 1967 war, probably saved Israel in the 1973 war, if they had given back that area, they would likely have been overrun by the Syrians. From History Net:
You Command: Battle on Golan Heights, 1973
Andrew H. Hershey
At 2 p.m. on October 6, 1973, during the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur, Israel’s neighboring Arab states of Egypt and Syria launched a powerful, two-front surprise attack, targeting the Sinai in the south and the Golan Heights in the north. As both assaults proceeded during the opening hours of the Yom Kippur War, the Egyptian and Syrian armies greatly outnumbered the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) units thinly spread across territory Israel had occupied since its stunning victory in the 1967 Six Day War. (See Sinai and Golan Fronts map, p. 57.)

Israel kept the Heights for defensive reasons, since at the time they were not strong militarily as they are now.
Your anti- Semitism whine is boring.
"Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again." Ronald Reagan

Lol, So if you disagree with the policy of Israel, your an anti-semite? Really? I aslo don't like what Saudi Arabia is doing in Yemen, am I against Arabs as well? BTW, I'm quarter Jewish and there are plenty of Jews who disagree with the policy of Israel.
I do know that Israel denies Palestinian an economy, has them under siege and then act surprised when there are terror attacks against them. Sorry buddy, if someone tried to push me out of my home (And Israel does and a lot of Jews don't hide the religious reasons for why they agree with this policy) I wouldn't go quitely and you probably wouldn't either. Nice try though! Are you Jewish by any chance?

LMAO, trump isn’t getting a Nobel prize. If he’s lucky, maybe Obama will allow trump to hold it for him. The Nobel Prize, too.
