ONE OF THE BIGGEST OMISSIONS IN NOBEL PEACE PRIZE HISTORY
Posted on 09/10/2020 8:28:14 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
In 2009, the Nobel Committee decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize to Obama as a way of encouraging him to do something peaceful. As it happened, Obama was an exceptionally un-peaceful president, using drones to kill civilians, starting a war in Libya that turned it into a hellhole, creating a vacuum in the Middle East that ISIS filled, failing to support the Green Revolution in Iran, and passively presiding over the disastrous and deadly “Arab Spring.”
In 2021, though, the Committee will have before it the choice of one man who really does seem to be bringing peace to the world. Donald Trump negotiated the UAE’s recognition of Israel, the first significant step towards Middle East peace in almost three decades. No wonder Christian Tybrng-Gjedde nominated Trump for his role in negotiating that agreement.
The mainstream media are already doing their best to destroy Trump’s chances by making sure everyone knows that Tybrng-Gjedde is a “far right” figure:
CBS: “A far-right Norwegian lawmaker said Wednesday that he has nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in the Middle East.”
MSN/The Guardian: “A Norwegian far-right MP has nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel peace prize for a second time, citing his role in the normalising of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.”
Yahoo/The Week went the extra mile to denigrate the whole idea:
President Trump's Nobel Peace Prize nomination is not as big of a deal as he's making it out to be.
On Wednesday, far-right Norwegian politician Christian Tybring-Gjedde announced he was nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his apparent work to "create peace between nations," especially in the Middle East.

And obama got one for being black.
“Trump did something more extraordinary than most people realize: He skipped the typical bartering-style negotiation, which has ended up going nowhere for decades. Instead, he marginalized the Palestinians.”
I’ve been arguing this approach for decades. The goal should be to annihilate their hopes and dreams, because their hopes and dreams are for the annihilation of Jews. You don’t negotiate with that.
He is the wrong shade of black.
Hell’s Bell’s, I’ve thought for years that prize is a joke and Odungo getting one was the topping on the cake.....then I KNEW....
So far, the Nobel STEM related prizes appear somewhat respectable. (Yes, we know that there is a full scale attempt at them.) As for the rest, they’re worth as much as a Democrat promise.
Obama got it for being a magic Negro.
Just how much credibility does anyone think they have?
Why would any decent person care what a committee of left wing Scandinavians conclude? These are the same people who destroyed their own culture and are now strangers in their own land. They are despicable, pathetic people.
The ‘prize’ has been a howling joke ever since Arafat got one
Yawn. Who cares? The only thing that matters now is the 2020 US Presidential Election.
The only way that Obama is black is if hes lying about who his daddy was. Otherwise hes a caucasian arab, and lily white midwesterner...
Nobel Prize controversies
Insights welcome.
There have been many controversial winners in Nobel history, but Yasser Arafat’s 1994 award is right up there! For some, that’s all you need to know about the Nobel Peace Prize.
Though to be fair Arafat did not win the prize by himself. He won it in concert with two Israeli statesmen: the prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin, and the foreign minister, Shimon Peres.
Orange is the new Black!
Great post. Al Bore was not deserving.
