90 years ago, Hitler and Goebbels said #Jews were behind the Nobel Peace Prize for Carl von Ossietzky. This week, Israel's foreign minister said Goebbels would be applauding from hell the prize for Navi Pillay.
Gideon Levy acknowledges that Israel has exactly one answer to criticism: unrestrained aggression, accusing the world of #antisemitism, shooting the messenger, and never one honest look at itself. Like a child who blames everyone but himself. It's not just childish, it's destructive: that reflex is why Israel keeps expelling itself from the family of nations.
Navi Pillay won the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to promote peace and international law.
[…] This year’s laureate has significantly enlarged the scope and impact of international law. She has served as a judge on the High Court in South Africa, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the International Criminal Court. She was the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and, until recently, she chaired the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Today Navi Pillay is a judge on the International Court of Justice in the case where Myanmar stands accused of genocide.
