Trump Snub Proves The Nobel Peace Prize Is A Joke
The article discusses the recent declaration that Venezuela’s opposition leader María Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize, despite the fact that israel and hamas accepted terms from former President Donald Trump’s peace plan to end their conflict-an achievement that had eluded other world leaders over two years. The Nobel Committee chair stated that Trump was not awarded the prize due to missing the nomination deadline and perceived lack of “courage and integrity.” The article criticizes the Nobel Peace Prize as increasingly meaningless and politically biased,highlighting Alfred Nobel’s documented anti-Semitic views as a possible underlying factor.It argues that Trump’s pragmatic approach, driven by national interest rather than international norms, successfully ended a prolonged war, yet was overlooked by what the article describes as globalist elites who favor moralizing over effective conflict resolution.
Just one day after the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack by Hamas, it was announced that Israel and Hamas accepted the terms of President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war.
It was a feat that then-President Joe Biden could not accomplish. In fact, it was a feat that no other world leader could accomplish in the course of two years. And yet Trump, in 10 months, has ended a devastating war. Such a breakthrough would certainly warrant the Nobel Peace Prize.
But on Friday it was announced that Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the award. Notably, Machado dedicated her award to Trump “for his decisive support of our cause.”
Nobel Committee chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes suggested Friday that Trump didn’t win the award — not simply because he missed the nomination deadline, which was in January — but because he lacked “courage and integrity.”
“This committee sits in a room filled with the portraits of all laureates and that room is filled with both courage and integrity. So we base only our decision on the work and will of Alfred Nobel,” Frydnes said when asked about the push for Trump to be given the award following the historic peace deal.
Perhaps, then, if the commission bases its decision on the “work and will of Alfred Nobel” it makes sense that Trump was not awarded the prize because Nobel was a Jew-hater.
In a letter to his mistress Sofie Hess, Nobel wrote “In my experience, [Jews] never do anything out of goodwill.”
“They act merely out of selfishness or a desire to show off — and how can they understand a trait in another person that they absolutely lack themselves?” Nobel asked. “The Israelites have some very good traits, which I always acknowledge, but among selfish and inconsiderate people they are the most selfish and inconsiderate. For them it is ‘self and family’ – all others exist only to be fleeced.”
Trump, of course, didn’t negotiate peace for the sake of a medal or globalist ceremony in Oslo. He did it because it was the right and humane thing to do.
The fact that a president who just ended a two-year global conflict isn’t recognized only proves how hollow the Nobel Peace Prize has become and what a failure globalism is. At the heart of it, the members of the Nobel Peace Prize committee are globalist elites who don’t believe in the nation state — and what a nation state can do.
The globalist way of international diplomacy drags out conflicts because they can’t comprehend a world in which a nation can arbitrate the end of a war out of its own national interest rather than high-minded theories about “international norms.” The U.S. had a national interest in seeing the conflict come to a close, so Trump made it happen. That is offensive to do-nothing globalists who would much rather moralize about a crisis than solve it.
If ending a war the rest of the world seemingly learned to tolerate doesn’t merit a Peace Prize, then nothing does. Somehow, the Nobel Peace Prize has managed to make itself more meaningless than it already was.
