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”.
Ikr? Everyone knows the Nobel peace prize should only go to upstanding global citizens like Henry Kissinger and Menachem Begin.
I dunno who Menachem is, but I can only assume they’re also a war criminal like Kissinger. The older I get, the fewer things and people seem to have any integrity. I’m fucking sick of finding out things or people that were supposedly paragons of morality are just as broken and corrupt as everything else. Nothing in this world is actually what it claims to be. 😬
Enjoy. Long story short, though: Former terrorist (as in literally the leader of Igrun), founder of Likud and former Israeli PM. He got the prize with Sadat after signing the peace treaty with Egypt and proceeded to bomb Iraq and invade Lebanon three years later.
Its always compelling to play “evil” bingo. And I always find myself guessing too tame compared to reality.
