From the Mailbag..

I received a lengthy e-mail from a reader in Oslo, Norway, about the Nobel Peace Prize.

Several committee members of the Nobel Peace Prize have a vitriolic Anti-Israel agenda. Some of the committee members who had fought to maintain political neutrality resigned in protest and are no longer in the committee.

There was even a Nazi in the Nobel Peace Prize. One of the most famous Anti-Israel members of the Norwegian Nobel (Peace Prize) Committee was Hanna Kvanmo, who died recently in June 2005. Kvanmo was actually a Nazi. She was a card-carrying member of the Nazi party during World War II. As a young woman, she was still in Nazi Germany at the end of the war. Later on she publicly 'repented' of her youthful Nazi 'indiscretions' in order to enter into Norwegian politics. Norwegians despise the Nazis and the Nazi Quisling traitors. It is not possible for Nazis to be public in Norway. Unfortunately, Norwegian Nazi families do still exist, in numbers larger than most Norwegians previously thought, according to recently declassified information about Nazi party members.

Kvanmo remained a Nazi sympathizer, and her 'repentance' was superficial. She implemented as much of her Nazi ideals as she could get away with. Her hatred of Israel was tireless and pathological. For example, after Peres and Arafat received their Nobel Peace Prizes simultaneously, it became evident that Arafat continued his strategy of terrorism. Rather than rescind Arafat’s Peace Prize because of his terrorist activity, Kvanmo led a campaign of character assassination against Peres, and even tried to rescind Peres’s Prize while leaving Arafat’s Prize intact. Her assault on the peace-seeking Peres while promoting the terror-engaging Arafat was a huge scandal in Norway.

To this day, I still can’t believe there was a Nazi in the Nobel Peace Prize. But it is so, and explains much. There are still Kvanmo flunkies sitting in the committee today.

The Nobel Peace Prize has become a disgrace and embarrassment to most Norwegians. We now find the Nobel Peace Prize disgusting.
