- Asep Haryono | Irony or Insult? Netanyahu Nominates Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize - Powered by Blogger
So, here’s something that actually happened on July 7, 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Yep. That Nobel. The one meant to recognize people who’ve contributed meaningfully to peace and human dignity.
And who delivers the nomination? Netanyahu himself a man who’s been at the center of military campaigns, deadly airstrikes on Gaza, and decades of a brutal occupation of Palestine. I mean… seriously?

It’s almost too ironic to be real.
Let’s give Trump some credit where it’s due: he did help broker the Abraham Accords. Sure, they brought Israel and a few Arab countries closer diplomatically. But peace? A real peace? Not for the Palestinians. The people who’ve lived under occupation, blockades, and bombardment for over 75 years are still suffering. The core issue the illegal occupation of Palestine hasn’t moved an inch.
So, when Netanyahu publicly hands over a Peace Prize nomination to Trump in front of cameras, it’s more than just political theater. It feels like a gut punch to justice. A man whose own hands are far from clean in any conversation about peace, nominating another man whose peace legacy is… well, debatable at best.
And that’s why so many people around the world are rolling their eyes or worse. One viral comment summed it up perfectly:
Netanyahu nominate Trump to achive Peace Nobel Prize in front of reporters, praising his role in supporting peace initiatives, The world could nominate Netanyahu to achieve Destruction Nobel Prize remembering his role in Genocide initiatives in Gaza and illegal occupation of Palestine.”
Let’s be real this isn’t just about awards or recognition. It’s about what message we send to the world. If war criminals and occupiers can throw around Nobel nominations like party favors, where does that leave the people still living under drones, checkpoints, and rubble?
Some might say, "Relax, it’s just a nomination." But it’s more than that. It’s symbolic. It’s tone-deaf. A\nd to many, it’s an insult to the memory of those killed, displaced, or silenced by policies both Trump and Netanyahu have backed
It’s 2025, and the world is still watching Gaza burn. Still watching settlements expand. Still hearing stories of Palestinian children buried under the weight of this so-called “peace.”
So yeah Irony or insult?
You decide. But as for me, I’m not buying the show.
And I know I’m not alone.

A Message From Asep Haryono
"Thank you so much for your time here. I really appreciate your precious moment here as well. Please leave any comment down below. Let me hear from you. Greetings from Indonesia"
It is Symbolic and not in a good way at all. Both Men are no bastions of Humanity, Peace or do they have Clean Hands. Most decent people of the World know this & aren't buying it either, but Donnie Two Dolls does covet and long for that Nobel Peace Prize, he's harping about NOT getting it constantly, oh how he WANTS it tho'... which, is a Weird Fixation on his part, the Man is clearly quite Unwell and his decisions are dangerous because they are so impaired by his Sociopathic tendencies and his cognitive decline. I don't think most in Israel are for their Leadership either, which is extreme Right as well and puts that on full display with their own atrocities that are being documented. Of coarse Hamas is just as Evil and a scourge to the Palestinian people... all Extremists are the reason there is so much harm being done around the Globe and atrocities being committed against other Human Beings, it sickens me.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing such a powerful and honest perspective. Your comment cuts straight to the heart of the issuerecognizing that extremism and unchecked power, wherever it appears, often result in deep harm to ordinary people.
DeleteThanks for your comments here. I really appreciate it
I completely agree with Bohemian and you. It's an absolute disgrace. I hate that our government (along with many others) are standing by and allowing genoicide to happen.
ReplyDeleteTotally feel you. It's heartbreaking and infuriating to watch leaders stay silent or complicit while innocent lives are lost. Humanity deserves better than performative politics and selective empathy. We need more people brave enough to speak up like Bohemian did.
DeleteIts middle of the night here in Indonesia. Its time for me to hit the sack
See you later my friend
