Peace
The decision as to who is the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize is often controversial. Critics often call them dubious and driven by politics.
- Cordell Hull was awarded the Nobel Prize in Peace in 1945 in recognition of his efforts for peace and understanding in the Western Hemisphere, his trade agreements, and his work to establish the United Nations. Hull was Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Secretary of State during the SS St. Louis Crisis. The St. Louis sailed out of Hamburg into the Atlantic Ocean in the summer of 1939 carrying over 950 mostly wealthy Jewish refugees, seeking asylum from Nazi persecution just before World War II. The ship's voyage caused great controversy in the United States. Initially, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt showed modest willingness to take in some of those on board, but vehement opposition was voiced by Hull and Southern Democrats — some of whom went so far as to threaten to withhold their support of Roosevelt in the 1940 Presidential election if this occurred. On 4 June 1939 Roosevelt issued an order to deny US entry to the ship, which was waiting in the Caribbean Sea between Florida and Cuba. The passengers began negotiations with the Cuban government, but those broke down at the last minute. Forced to return to Europe, over a quarter of its passengers subsequently died in the Holocaust.[44][45][46]
- High-ranking North Vietnamese communist leader Le Duc Tho and United States Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger jointly received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973 for their work on the Paris Peace Accords intended to secure a ceasefire in the Vietnam War. However, North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam soon after this (April 1975) and reunified the country under the single-party rule of the communist party. In addition, Kissinger had instituted the secret 1969–1975 campaign of bombing against infiltrating NVA in Cambodia, the alleged U.S. involvement in Operation Condor—a mid-1970s campaign of kidnapping and murder coordinated among the intelligence and security services of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile (see details), Paraguay, and Uruguay — as well as the death of French nationals under the Chilean junta. He also supported the Turkish Intervention in Cyprus resulting in the de facto partition of the island.[citation needed]
- Anwar Sadat, president of Egypt during the 1973 Yom Kippur War against Israel, and Menachem Begin were jointly awarded the 1978 Nobel Peace Prize for their contributions to the Camp David Accords. Both are believed to have fought against British rule by violence.[citation needed]
- Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres, and Yitzhak Rabin were joint winners of the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize. Arafat's critics have referred to him as an "unrepentant terrorist with a long legacy of promoting violence".[47] Kåre Kristiansen, a Norwegian member of the Nobel Committee, resigned in 1994 in protest at the award to Yasser Arafat, calling him a "terrorist". Supporters of Arafat claimed fairness, citing Nelson Mandela's lacking a renouncement political violence, having been a founder member of Umkhonto we Sizwe. On the other hand, Edward Said was critical of Peres and Rabin and the entire Oslo Accords.
- Jimmy Carter was awarded the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize, for the "decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development." The announcement of the award came shortly after the US House and Senate gave President George W. Bush authorization to use military force against Iraq in order to enforce UN Security Council resolutions requiring that Baghdad give up weapons of mass destruction. Asked if the selection of the former president was a criticism of Bush, Gunnar Berge, head of the Nobel Prize committee, said: "With the position Carter has taken on this, it can and must also be seen as criticism of the line the current US administration has taken on Iraq." Carter declined to comment on the remark in interviews, saying that he preferred to focus on the work of the Carter Center.[48]
- Wangari Maathai, 2004 winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, was reported by the Kenyan newspaper Standard and Radio Free Europe to have stated that AIDS was originally developed by Western scientists in order to depopulate Africa. She later denied these claims, although the Standard stands by its reporting.[49] Additionally, in a Time magazine interview, she hinted at its non-natural origin, saying that someone knows where it came from and that it "...did not come from monkeys."[50]
- Al Gore and the IPCC, joint 2007 winners of the Nobel Peace Prize, have received criticism on the grounds of political motivation.[21][51] Al Gore's victory over prize candidate Irena Sendler, a Polish social worker known as the "female Oskar Schindler" for her efforts to save Jewish children during the Holocaust,[52] attracted criticism from the humanitarian agency International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW).[53]
Nobel Prize controversies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Barack Obama, 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner, drew much criticism that the award was undeserved, premature and politically motivated. Obama himself said that he felt "surprised" by the win and did not consider himself worthy of the award, but nonetheless accepted it.[54][55][56][57][58]
The Nobel Peace Prize, awarded to Arafat, a terrorist, and Obama, who did nothing to deserve it, is bogus.
The Nobel Prize, awarded for groundbreaking advances in science, mathematics, economics, literature and the arts, is the one that counts.
Merely 2 Muslims have won Nobel Prizes, out of 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide.
160 Jews have won Nobel Prizes, out of just 13 million Jews.
Moses Akbar! allah sucks.
