An American civil rights group on Friday called on the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize winner to renounce her support for Zionism and fascism, including over her links to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s political party and right-wing groups in Europe.

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair) said that they “strongly disagree” with the Nobel Prize committee’s decision to award the prize to Maria Corina Machado, who they said “delivered remarks at a conference of European fascists, including Geert Wilders and Marie Le Pen, which openly called for a new Reconquista, referencing the ethnic cleansing of Spanish Muslims and Jews in the 1500s”.

Well I can assure you the path to peace does NOT include supporting fascists.

Hamas is a fascist organization by every definition, so are you saying it's wrong to stop fighting until they're destroyed? That's the view of many in power in Israel.

I think many people are angry about the Nobel Peace Prize because they're actually against there being peace.

Once again someone conflating fighting Hamas with genociding Palestinians. Nice whataboutism.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Naw, mate, every single one of those women and children were Hamas supporters, even the infants.

As we saw on October 7, the capacity for Hamas to commit genocide wasn't limited by their intent, it's only limited by their capability. If there were 1400 people in the villages on that day, there would be 1400 dead instead of 1200. If they had the capability of killing a million Jews they would.

And you would make excuses for their actions because you're a genocide apologist. The whataboutism started the day after Hamas massacred villages, and it came from the actual genocide apologists who were conditioned for more than a decade to look the other way on any horrible action committed by Hamas.

You clearly either don't know what a genocide is, or you shill way too much for Bibi. Either way, blocked, and I encourage everyone to do as much, you don't have anything to actually add to the conversation.

FYI they're a massive zionists who can't see any flaws with what Israel has done

[–] ganryuu@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah I guessed as much, hence the blocking, I don't need that when reading comments. Thanks for confirming!

Netanyahu is an incompetent idiot and I hope he's removed from power in the next election.

Hamas are psychopaths that torture Palestinians for speaking out against them and prevent elections from happening. They're genocidal fascists and are the biggest obstacle preventing the Palestinian people from being free. And you're an apologist for them because you look the other way on their genocidal actions and look the other way on their oppression of Palestinians.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

I'd say that killing is a form of oppression, and Israel has killed a couple of orders of magnitude more Palestinian civilians than Hamas ever has.

So sure, Hamas are murderous psychopaths, but what's that make Likud? And who's the apologist in that case?
