Nobel Peace Prize: Now Accepting Genocide Enablers?
While Trump's 'peace' deals often overlooked Palestinians, the Nobel committee itself has a record of questionable choices. Henry Kissinger, for instance, received the prize in 1973 for his efforts in Vietnam, a war that saw continued bombing campaigns and a horrific civilian toll even after the Paris Peace Accords. (Perhaps the committee was just early to the 'peace through superior firepower'
doctrine.) One might wonder: how many 'peace' prizes must be bestowed upon architects or enablers of conflict before the institution itself becomes a running gag? The silence from official sources, particularly in Western media, on the context of 'peace deals' that sideline fundamental human rights is, itself, a form of historical sanitization.
