Hostage's mother: 'Inconceivable UNRWA could be nominated for Nobel Peace Prize'
Arutz Sheva ^ | 10/10/24

A press conference was held today by the Hostages Families Forum in response to UNRWA being among the nominees for the Nobel Peace Prize, which will be announced tomorrow.

Ayelet Samerano, mother of Yonatan Samerano who was murdered on October 7th and whose body was taken to Gaza by an UNRWA social worker, spoke at the press conference. She was joined by Daniel Carmon, the Deputy Permanent Representative at Israel's UN mission and Ambassador to India, and Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of UN Watch.

Ayelet stated, "In the first few months after October 7, we reached out to many human rights organizations and peace organizations. We sought help from these organizations, because they advocate for human rights and peace. We hoped they would assist us in bringing back the hostages."

"To our shock, after 100 days, we discovered that the person who kidnapped our child works for UNRWA. He was a social worker employed by UNRWA, an organization whose sole purpose is supposed to be providing humanitarian aid. UNRWA was founded on the principles of human rights and humanity. However, this is clearly not the case with UNRWA as we know it now. We're talking about an organization that has taken a very active part in the murder, rape, and kidnapping of innocent people.

"It's inconceivable that such an organization could be nominated for such an important award as the Nobel Peace Prize.

"The Nobel Peace Prize should be given to those who promote peace....

Very conceivable. Very. Just the sort of organization that gets Nobel Peace Prizes.

Al Gore 2007
Barack Hussein Obama 2009 (before he did anything—inaugurated Jan. 20, 2009 and given the award a few months later).

Donald Trump actually got accords that settled down a potential Arab round of attacks on Israel and avoided a wider war. No award.

‘nuff said.

Not to mention Ronald Reagan who helped to end the Cold War.

That was his mistake. If he had only been photographed shaking some incorrigible fiend’s hand after agreeing to a piece agreement that saw thousands killed, now that would have gotten him a Nobel Peace Prize.

The last person who ever deserved and got a Nobel Peace Prize for making actual peace was Dr. Martin Luther King. Everyone since then has been evil to a greater or lesser degree. I suppose he qualified despite his failure to cause bloodshed on account of the fact that he liked to bang occasional white chicks, or so they say.

“Not to mention Ronald Reagan who helped to end the Cold War.”

Unforgivable. A perfectly good wall, causing endless suffering, and it was torn down thanks to the that blue-haired reprobate and his hateful, divisive rhetoric./sarc

Absolutely. The one man who really deserved that peace prize.
Ronald Reagan.

I forgive you for not posting the barf alert.

Also, the gun grabbers still love the little nerd even though he illegally brought his sidearm up to the area in front of the podium before he was honored by speaking at the UN.

When Saturday Night Live did a skit gently poking fun at Arafat and saying “Just a fashion note. How do you keep a constantly partial beard, never clean shaven and never a full beard? Do you shave at night?”
The audience gasped at that because it was like dishonoring MLK or Ghandi. Popular terrorist. He and Abbu Abbas were behind the band took over the cruise ship Achille Lauro. Gathering the American tourists on board, the terrorists randomly chose to kill 69-year-old Leon Klinghoffer. The wheelchair-bound American was shot in the head and thrown overboard. His wheelchair was then thrown over by the laughing terrorists. The later outcry cause Arafat to make a break with Abbas and go his own way.
