We must not mistake her: The Nobel peace prize laureate is no “peace activist.” She identifies in absolute terms with Hamas, despite the fact that she knows that it is an anti-Semitic organization that has insisted on continued violence, openly preaches for the annihilation of the Jews and supports global jihad and the Islamic conquest of the entire free world.
I am merely worried about the children of Gaza, said Nobel peace prize laureate Mairead Corrigan Maguire in court, and we almost wanted to send her flowers. Worry about the fate of children, as such, is important. But Maguire couldn’t resist the temptation and said: I swore to myself during a visit to the concentration camps that I would never be silent in the face of suffering children.
The penny dropped. There are millions of children in Asia and Africa who are crying for help. They are being murdered. They are being pressed into military service against their will. They are being used as slaves. Maguire takes no interest in them. She has not demonstrated on their behalf and she has not acted on their behalf. She has just one thing that she is interested in doing: Comparing Israel to the Nazis. This wasn’t the first time that she has given voice to this despicable comparison.
Palestinian children were hurt. That is regrettable and tragic. But one really ought to be accurate with the facts. Children were turned into weapons by Hamas. Hamas has brainwashed them. Hamas has taught them to murder and to hate – not only to hate Jews, but to hate the free world. Hamas has educated them to be martyrs and suicide bombers. Hamas has admitted to using them as human shields.

Nobel peace prize laureate Mairead Corrigan MaguireMairead Corrigan Maguire
This person has always been suspect in my mind since she was honored years ago.
Her ‘peace’ activism is as phony as those of other leftists who wanted ‘peace’ in Vietnam and carried their communist flags with them 40 years ago.
She was just an IRA sympathizer pretending to want peace in my opinion back then and her support of Hamas only confirms that in my mind.
Holy Crap! That old cow from Northern Ireland is still at it.
In 1976 her sister Anne’s three kids were run over by an IRA terrorist who was shot dead by the British Army while attempting a getaway. She and an eyewitness, one Betty Williams founded “Women for Peace”, referred to locally as “the Peace People”.
They led a few marches, got the Nobel Peace Prize and were big news for about a year or so. The “peace people” quickly vanished from history but Corrigan went on to become a perennial player on the international peacenik circuit. A reliable hardcore leftist in all things, she eventually found best living was to be made as an anti-zionist activist.
Back home, she has long been considered a joke. If she’s remembered at all. Consider her Cindy Sheehan 1.0.

What else can you expect from a Nobel Laureate? If Atilla the Hun were alive today, he’d be right on the short list, along with Genghis Khan, Hitler, The Grand Mufti, Pol Pot and Fidel Castro. The prize is awarded to the most undeserving of the title. It’s a bad joke, Nobel Peace Prize. Awarded by the Nobel family, makers of dynamite.
