And the People’s Peace Prize goes to…All of the Sailors on all of the Flotillas to Gaza. I bow at their feet. 💐🙏🕊️🇵🇸❤️🌟

And all of the People of Palestine. 😢

The Nobel Peace Prize should go the flotilla members and/or Francesca Albanese. Much more deserving than old Orange-face.

It's surely not a coincidence that there is an 'outbreak of peace' in Gaza on the very day the Nobel committee meet to decide the winner?

Timeline: Trump gets the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday; all hostages released on Monday; Israel resumes the genocide on Tuesday. That's my fear.

Sounds about right 😢

Not a fear but a reality!

What a stupid thing to say. I hope he is insulted.

Well that's interesting. I didn't think it was possible to edit posts once they are published. Have I missed something?

To the right of your name are three little dots; click on them and you’ll see “edit” at the top.

That option doesn't appear on the Android app. I'm notorious for not noticing when predictive text changes my writing! I guess you are using a browser?

If the Nobel Peace prize wasn’t already an oxymoron (Henry Kissinger, Barack Obama, European Union?) it is now!

Even the Oscars have more meaning now.

The mind boggles, I’d only searched ‘last 20 years’.

I guess when you’ve invented dynamite your idea of ‘peace’ may well include bombing your way to it.

Ooh thanks RN (just did a cheeky edit x)

If Trump wins the Nobel Peace Prize, they’ll have to rename it the Noble Gaslight Award. Nothing says “world peace” like handing a trophy to the man still arguing with reality.

Plse say it aint so. For all those worthy of receiving the Nobel Peace prize it makes their achievements look worthless if a pedo traitor gets a look in.

Standards have dropped to never seen lows to even consider such scum.

I think Steve Miller should get a consolation runner-up prize. After all, he's the genius behind murdering fishermen in the Caribbean Sea.

It's a shame Epstein committed suicide before he was able to receive a Nobel prize for his contributions to The Science

Ronald Reed's avatar

Should be quotes around committed suicide.

Pretty sure everyone around Hillary Clinton died in ways that had nothing at all to do with Hillary Clinton.

I mean, what are the odds?

I know the world has become rotten due to the Devil IsRael states of america, but winning the Nobel Peace prize will just bring the whole thing down to depths of incomprehensible...

If Trump is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, it has rendered itself completely worthless.

The Revolution Continues's avatar

They gave a Nobel Peace Prize to Obama (aka "Obomber" for his 26,000 bombs dropped during his time in office) and Henry Kissinger already. It IS completely worthless.

AppropriatedProductions's avatar

That's not fair to Obama.

He received the prize just for becoming president, and *then* brought up the importance of war in is fucking acceptance speech.

And THEN bombed the shot out of everyone.

Enrolling in Trump U. to pursue higher education is akin to donning formal evening wear and hiring a limo to bring you to McDonald's for a gourmet dining experience.

Man, if he ever won it, that organization would lose all credibility and become a shamed example of bought recognition and cowardice.

Jean Kates's avatar

Can this prize be bought? It seems like it.

Rebel Nun's avatar

We’ll know soon.

susan cartwright's avatar

Of course! Using the perfected Mossad formula, to get what you want 1) pay them or 2) get kompromat and blackmail, or 3) threatenbor kill loved ones. As we have all seen, anything can be bought and everyone has a price.

A very depressing reflection on some of the current stupidity and cruelty in world affairs

A pseudo cease fire is irrelevant while genociders still occupy stolen land

Oh absolutely, darling, I completely see your point. Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize? How quaint. But really, I think you’re underselling the competition. Netanyahu’s got this one in the bag. After all, if the prize goes to whoever’s made the most noise while calling it peace, then he’s practically the Beyoncé of the genre.

I mean, sure, Trump pretended to end wars, but Netanyahu turned “ceasefire” into a performance art piece. The man could flatten a city and still make it sound like he’s helping with urban renewal. The Nobel Committee won’t be able to resist that kind of visionary rebranding.

Of course, if they both win, we’ll just need to invent a new category, The Nobel Prize for Managing Not to End Humanity Entirely (This Week).

Anyway, I’ll be over here, under the table, clutching a glass of wine and pretending the floor is stable. Do carry on, history’s writing itself in crayon again.

susan cartwright's avatar

Frigging hell! Thanks for the laugh. I was thinking the best person for the peace prize really was Netenyahu too! Black is white. Up is down. In today's world, Netenyahu and Trump winning the peace prize is par for the course.

Willy & Bill's avatar

Oh exactly, it’s perfect, isn’t it? The Nobel Peace Prize has gone full performance art. “War is peace,” “genocide is diplomacy,” and somewhere Orwell’s estate is sending out cease and desist letters for plagiarism.

At this rate, next year’s shortlist will be Putin for Environmentalism, BP for Clean Energy, and a hedge fund for “services to emotional wellbeing.” The Peace Prize isn’t an award anymore, it’s a dare.

Still, we may as well applaud. If irony’s all we’ve got left, let’s give it a standing ovation before the floor gives way. Pass the popcorn, history’s doing improv again.

In my opinion, they're both complicit in genocide.

Oh I am so glad you brought this up! And the viewer comments are also so right on. My thinking is in perfect alignment with you and your readers.
