Hamas-Linked UNRWA Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

A Norwegian parliamentary official has nominated the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for the Nobel Peace Prize this week despite Israeli intelligence allegations that UNRWA employees were involved in the October 7 attack by Hamas against Israel.

Last month, Israeli intelligence revealed in a dossier that at least twelve UNRWA staffers took part in the attack. The report further claimed that 1,200 out of UNRWA's 12,000 staffers in Gaza have connections to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Several countries, including the United States, have since opted to suspend funding for UNRWA.

National Review has more:

Labour MP Asmund Aukrust said he nominated UNRWA “for its long-term work to provide vital support to Palestine and the region in general,” and added that “this work has been crucial for over 70 years, and even more vital in the last three months.”

Qualified officials select hundreds of individuals to nominate for the Noble Peace Prize annually. The Norwegian Noble Committee will announce the Nobel Peace Prize laureate in October, an award that should go to the individual “who has done the most or best to advance fellowship among nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies, and the establishment and promotion of peace congresses,” Swedish industrialist and Nobel-prize founder Alfred Nobel wrote in his will.

UNRWA has made desperate pleas to the international community to regain its funding since Israel revealed U.N. employees’ links to Hamas. A spokesman for U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said last week that UNRWA funding is slated to run out by the end of February. 

“It would be immensely irresponsible to sanction an Agency and an entire community it serves because of allegations of criminal acts against some individuals, especially at a time of war, displacement and political crises in the region,”

Looks like the Nobel people comb the world to find the people who suck the most before they confer this august honor: arafaggot, brocko, and now unrwa. Send some dynamite to all of them.

They sure do! The Nobel prize has morphed from an organization that rewarded people who do good for humankind into an organization that rewards pure evil and those who destroy others, and destroy their nations

Such a worthless organization now. Pure crap award now.

Norwegians have become very sick people from so many years of “anything goes” liberalism. They don’t seem to care that their muzzlime invaders prey on their women at will, and now their Nobel committee wants to reward demonic barbarism. They already made a mockery of their “peace prize” by awarding one to Odungo, especially before he even did anything but be black. To me, it will never signify anything in the future but virtue signalling.
