Former White House senior adviser Jared Kushner and his deputy, Avi Berkowitz, were nominated on Sunday for the Nobel Peace Prize for their work on Middle East peace.
The pair were recognized for four normalization deals between Israel and Arab nations known as the 'Abraham Accords.'
They were nominated by lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who was eligible to do so in his capacity as a professor emeritus of Harvard Law School.

A Saudi Prince’s Quest to Remake the Middle East
4/09/2018
Steve Bannon, Trump’s senior aide and ideologist at the time, told me recently, “Our plan was to annihilate the physical caliphate of isis in Iraq and Syria—not attrition, annihilation—and to roll back the Persians. And force the Gulf states to stop funding radical Islam.” The Middle East initiative, Bannon said, was one of the few points of agreement in an otherwise fractious White House. “Jared and I were at war on a number of other topics, but not this.”
Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, was put in charge of policy for the region. He had no experience in diplomacy or in Middle Eastern politics; at thirty-six, he had spent his working life managing New York and New Jersey real-estate projects and running the New York Observer, a fading tabloid. But a former senior defense official who worked with Kushner told me that he had been educating himself on the fly. “He’s not a scholar on this stuff,” the official said. “His knowledge is gained from talking to movers and shakers in that part of the world. You can read a lot of books but never get the type of education you get from talking to the Kissingers and Petraeuses of the world.”

That’s often a good thing. A very fresh pair of eyes.
it was simple...quit kissing the pali’s asses and giving them false hope....
Good news!!
Thanks for posting
Why not Trump? It should ever and always be known as the Trump Accoreds
Hmmm, I wonder who told him to do it?
You should know the answer to your question. Take a stab at it.
... and should get it .... but he’s associated with Trump ......... fagedaboudit
Forget it Jarod, BM has it wrapped up. It works like the Oscars.
Jared pulled this off without the assistance of BLM?
Jared and whoever assisted him deserve that prize. I never expected such a positive and constructive change in my lifetime.
orange man bad Or TDS
I’m not trying to dump on Kushner here, but presidents always have negotiators. The president still gets the credit. Carter got the Nobel. Trump should also.
I don’t have a problem with Kushner getting one also, but this is another massive insult to the man who had the vision to get this ball in motion.
No other president since 1948 has met with the success Trump did, and had he been able to complete the second term he won, it would have been even more evident.
This angers me considerably:
In a fair world, with a Nobel Peace Prize justly awarded to deserving recipients, Trump and Kushner and would be locks to win. In our world, however, there is zero chance of them winning. The global elites hate Trump like they’ve never hated anyone, including Reagan (whom they also hated but not at this level).
I am amazed that Dershowitz would snub Trump in this manner.
I’ll grant you the point about the Nobel Committee, but Trump isn’t even nominated?
I will say someone in Europe nominated him for something, possibly this, so maybe that was on Dershowitz’s mind.
Kushner nor Trump will never get the Nobel Peace Prize, because that is not what it is...
It is the Nobel Mostly Peaceful Prize now, and actual peace makes you ineligible for it.
It would establish some credibility if they shared the prize between Trump and Kushner
Hmmm
