Former world chess champion Garry Kasparov has delivered a blistering rebuke of the Norwegian Nobel Committee after it awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize to controversial South African jurist Navi Pillay, whose record of attacking Israel has sparked fierce condemnation from Israeli leaders and supporters of the Jewish state.
Kasparov, the 13th World Chess Champion and longtime opponent of authoritarian regimes, took to X with a devastating one-line response to the committee's decision.
“Maybe next year they’ll give the Chemistry prize to a Hamas bomb maker.”

The tweet quickly went viral, drawing tens of thousands of likes as it cut through the usual polite fiction surrounding the award. In a follow-up, he dryly noted that he was aware the Peace Prize is handled by a separate Norwegian committee from the Swedish ones that award the other prizes, but the broader point landed.
The chess legend was reacting to the committee’s decision to honor Pillay “for her efforts to promote peace and international law.” Pillay chaired the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, which issued a report accusing Israel of “genocide” in Gaza.
Critics, including Israeli officials and Jewish advocacy groups, have long documented her lack of impartiality: she signed a 2020 manifesto calling on governments to “Sanction Apartheid Israel,” then accepted the chairmanship of the inquiry without disclosing the conflict; she defended a fellow commissioner who invoked “the Jewish lobby”; and she has a record of one-sided criticism that ignored Hamas’s October 7, 2023 massacre of 1,200 Israelis, the rapes, the hostages, and the group’s use of human shields.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Jewish leaders and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted with fury. Netanyahu stated that the Nobel Committee “has lost its moral compass” by awarding its highest honor to “a bigot who built her career around inventing and propagating blood libels against the one and only Jewish state.”
UN Watch condemned the decision, with Executive Director Hillel Neuer highlighting Pillay’s “troubling record on antisemitism and gross breach of ethics.”

Go Garry!!
The Ignoble Comedy is a bunch of retarded clowns. The Peace Prize is just another liberal, Golden Glob or Granny.
They gave the peace Prize to Obama, who supported Hezbollah.
The Ignoble is just another Third World Participation Trophy with a little guy bowling on top. A UN style third world turd joke.
Arafat got one...
I wouldn't be surprised.....
Sickening.
Infuriating.
“Peace Prize”
Seriously, I don’t know why anyone would want it. It’s downright Orwellian in who receives it.
The Pulitzer Prize is a joke. Given those who have received it, the Medal of Freedom is a toss-up.
Everyone is an “actor” until Academy Awards season. Then the actresses come out as actresses.
The only good thing about the removal of honor from all these earthly prizes is that it helps to show the only prize worth obtaining, eternal life. (see tagline)
Mossad should award its own “prize” to this woman...
True! He’s so right. But they already have given the peace prize to Arafat, a man with the blood of thousands on his hands.
The Nobel prize committees have a long record now of being absolute leftist imbeciles, from awarding Obama simply because of his race to being too stupid to figure out who actually invented the MRI scanner. I just wish Garry hadn’t given them any ideas, because they are nutty enough to actually do this...
I tend to generally ignore the liberal, self-aggrandizing, back-patting circle-jerk called the Nobel Prize these days. Worthless junk these days, if you ask me.
The same all-too-often misguided Norwegian Nobel committee once gave the Peace Prize to Barack Hussein obama!
Not good!
.
Visualize whirled peas
The fact that they awarded one of these to Obama tells you everything you need to know about their credibility. Zero. We have become the pinhead planet.
