Being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize

Last edited Tue Jul 8, 2025, 10:30 AM - Edit history (1)

by Bibi Netanyahu, who is a fugitive from the International Criminal Court for war crimes doesn't seem to be a winning strategy to me.

Time to come up with a better name for war pigs who fashion themselves peaceniks. Not Bibi, though. He’s on wartime footing all the time.

Because deep down, the Nobel Prize Committee will not give him one. TACO Don is still seething that a Black man President, received one before he did. Barack Obama was transactional. TACO Don is reactional.

Critics were quick to jump on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for re-nominating President Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize after a Ukrainian official withdrew his recommendation, and Pakistani officials considered doing the same following the president's bombing of Iran.

Netanyahu "surprised" Trump with the nomination at a White House dinner on Monday.

The White House posted the moment to social media, recounting Netanyahu's words: "President Trump is 'forging peace as we speak, in one country and one region after the other. So, I want to present to you, Mr. President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize committee. It's nominating you for the peace prize, which is well-deserved.'"

Writer Linda Mamoun called the moment, "Beyond parody," while political commentator @SundaeDivine wrote, "International war criminal nominates convicted felon for Nobel Peace Prize."

Writer Brian Krassenstein wrote his own parody of the situation: "'Hey Donald can you bomb this sovereign nation for us?' Trump: 'Sure'. Netanyahu: 'You deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.'”

@BeckettUnite posted, "We are truly living in a time of imperial authoritarianism: A wanted war criminal, Netanyahu Who has murdered 20,000 children in Gaza presents a letter to the man who gave him the weapons for genocide...Sickening."

The only peace acceptable to Netanyahu is a thorough ethnic cleansing of all Palestinian resistance, resulting in a greater Israel encompassing all the occupied territories.

And he wants America's help in achieving that.
