A Palestinian journalist from Gaza has criticized the nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, questioning its significance in the face of ongoing Israeli violence and the deaths of thousands of Palestinians.
Media activist Elham Abedini wrote on Twitter: A Palestinian journalist from Gaza has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and published this story: Which Nobel Prize when my people are slaughtered?What does this award mean when Israel’s crimes continue and nothing has changed? My people are killed for 300 days and the world just watches. With these ridiculous and showy awards, I remembered the poem of that Afghan poet who says that we are dying for the Times photographer to win an award.
