An American civil rights group on Friday called on the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize winner to renounce her support for Zionism and fascism, including over her links to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s political party and right-wing groups in Europe.
Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair) said that they “strongly disagree” with the Nobel Prize committee’s decision to award the prize to Maria Corina Machado, who they said “delivered remarks at a conference of European fascists, including Geert Wilders and Marie Le Pen, which openly called for a new Reconquista, referencing the ethnic cleansing of Spanish Muslims and Jews in the 1500s”.
Look up who is on the Nobel Peace Prize committee and you’ll see it’s a bit of a joke.
I looked them up…I’ve no idea who these people are (I don’t know people in politics or major corporation leaders, etc so I don’t really know why I bothered looking in the first place
)
It is just 5 Norwegian libs. They are pretty unremarkable outside of being on the committee.
The Nobel Peace Price is a constant reminder of why you shouldn’t trust Norway to do anything. Most of the others are also kind of jokes (especially the literature one which is similarly a load of Swedish libs who are only remarkable for being on the committee) but the peace price is a borderline parody at this point.
