We didn't think the Nobel Peace Prize could delegitimize itself any worse than it did when preemptively gave Barack Obama the award even though he hadn't done anything to bring about world peace (and later ended up droning a bunch of people).
But apparently, the Nobel committee decided that wasn't insulting enough to the concept of peace and decided to nominate the Israel-hating, terror-supporting UNRWA for this year's prize:

It's true:
The United Nations Palestinian refugee agency, the International Court of Justice and UN chief Antonio Guterres are among the favorites for this year's Nobel Peace Prize, experts said, in a year marked by the wars in Gaza and Ukraine https://t.co/biY0s2VPmn

The United Nations Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA), the International Court of Justice and U.N. chief Antonio Guterres are among the favourites for this year's Nobel Peace Prize, experts said, in a year marked by the wars in Gaza and Ukraine.
Given past form, the Norwegian Nobel Committee is capable of springing a complete surprise in the Oct. 11 announcement - including not giving the prize at all.
Given the ongoing war in the Middle East, this writer bets they'll give it to UNRWA -- the organization that not only stole humanitarian aid, but aided Hamas in the October 7 terror attacks -- simple to stick a finger in the eye of Israel and Jews worldwide.
2024 year will be remembered as the year of the terrorists awards..

They love terrorists. Which seems antithetical to the concept of a peace prize.
This is so utterly shocking that it's either false or the Nobel Committee needs to be dismantled in its entirety.

Let's disband it just to be on the safe side.
A Nobel Prize for "peace" likely to be given to those who have nothing to do with peace.

UNWRA, you will recall, had people in Gaza who were part of the Hamas attacks on October 7. https://t.co/zUqn4xEXUa
The irony is palpable.
UN needs to be defunded NOW.#DefundUN

And so does the Nobel committee, frankly.
The moment Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, I knew the prize was an absolute politicized joke.
— Jesse Burkhart (@JesseBurkhart7) October 3, 2024
This just reinforces that notion.
As we said.
It's utterly meaningless now.
PM Netanyahu should receive the Nobel peace prize.

He never will. But he should.

Well played.
Yasser Arafat got one, so it wouldn't be *that* surprising. https://t.co/zhjlxGg6PW

We'd forgotten about that one.
LOL. Of course.

Awarding an organization that actively supported a Jewish Pogrom would be totally on message for the Nobel Prize committee, and the UN. https://t.co/gbfOXGL8GN
Very on brand.
This has to be one of the stupidest things that I have read today. The UN and the ICJ have proven themselves to be failed experiments and UNRWA is nothing but a terrorist organization wrapped in the UN flag. What a joke! https://t.co/o9gwNQf7Sl

It's also a slap in the face to every Israeli who died, every Jew across the world, and to the people of Gaza oppressed by Hamas.
But they don't care about any of those people.
Vitriolic antisemitism and barbaric terror are now seen as virtues these days. https://t.co/uXJSV2kZN3

From the same people who scream Donald Trump is 'literally Hitler', to boot.
If thats correct, nothing will surprise me anymore

Maybe Kim Jong will receive one as well. In the name of diversity. https://t.co/ZGm2NqDQXM
Would you be surprised? We wouldn't.
