Nobel Committee Discovers Peacemaking Doesn't Involve Bombing Gaza
While RT laments Trump's missing Nobel for 'peacemaking' (and suggests a Venezuelan opposition leader's Nobel was an affront), the real story is the Nobel Committee's historical selective vision. Remember when former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger won one in 1973, concurrent with his role in bombing Cambodia, orchestrating the 1973 Chilean coup, and supporting Pakistan's genocide in
Bangladesh? ('Operation Menu' in Cambodia began in 1969, declassified reports confirm 2.7 million tons of bombs dropped). It appears 'peace' prizes are often less about actual peace and more about rewarding geopolitical alignments or specific public narratives. The current 'peacemakers' are often those enabling endless conflict, particularly when US aid, like the $3.8 billion annually to Israel
(Congressional Research Service, 2023), fuels the 'stability' of violent occupation. How many more people must be bombed for 'peace' to be achieved, before the Nobel Committee looks for other candidates beyond the usual suspects?
