The ADL has once again accused a Nobel peace prize winner of antisemitism. Previous peace prize winners accused of antisemitism by the ADL: Jimmy Carter, Desmond Tutu, and Amnesty International. Weaponizing charges of antisemitism against human rights advocates, specifically against those who condemn Israel for violating Palestinian rights, undermines the fight against antisemitism.
In awarding the Peace Prize to Navi Pillay, the Nobel Committee rewards a record of legitimizing of demonizing Jews, Israelis and championing antizionism.   As chair of the UN Commission of Inquiry, Pillay drove the unsubstantiated "genocide" charge against Israel that has become a rallying cry for antisemites worldwide. She has previously accused Jews and Israel of having "ganged up" to distort the history of the Durban conference, defended a fellow COI commissioner's "Jewish lobby" remarks, and championed the Durban process that mainstreamed anti-Zionist antisemitism inside the UN. Learning of this award in Nuremberg and using the moment to double down on the genocide claim is a betrayal of "never again." The Nobel Committee has handed its most prestigious honor to someone who has repeatedly given cover to antisemitic narratives. That is not peace. That is normalization of hate. cnn.com/2026/10/09/world/liv…

Pink's actions in all this have been a tremendous disappointment. I guess the only enlightened one in the group was Roger Waters.

I had seen the coverage of this controversy but hadn't actually watched the speech until today...this is completely unobjectionable! Punishing him for these words is crazy and just pure censorship and everyone defending it was probably whining about cancel culture two years ago.
Wanting all humans to be treated equal should never be controversial.
