Dear Members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee

 


I am writing to you as a human being — because today, unfortunately, many people can no longer be called that — a person who has always strongly opposed every war, every act of violence and killing, especially the killing of innocent civilians.

As a Bosniak, I am a witness to the ethnic cleansing and genocide committed by Serbia and Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1992 and 1995, crimes for which they were practically left unpunished — in fact, rewarded. I know very well the depth of injustice and pain that never fades.

Therefore, I earnestly ask you not to consider Donald Trump as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize, under any circumstances. This man has never stood for peace; on the contrary, he has always supported — and still supports — violence and the killing of civilians. He is a racist who despises Mexicans and the peoples of Latin America, and who harbors hatred toward Black people and Muslims.

Donald Trump is, above all, a selfish egotist and a racist — a man driven purely by his own interests and heavily influenced by his son-in-law, a Jew, who dictates his actions and decisions. From the moment he became president, Trump could have stopped the genocide in Gaza, but he chose not to — because, like Israel, it was in his interest to see as many Palestinians killed as possible. We have all heard his own genocidal statement suggesting that Israel should expand its territory and that Palestinians should be expelled and scattered around the world. Does such a person truly deserve the Nobel Peace Prize?

The United States presents itself as a world power, but in reality, Israel and the Jewish lobby hold power over it. Whatever they decide, the American president must obey. We have seen this clearly over the past several years, as the USA has vetoed every international condemnation of Israel, even though Israel has violated every international law, attacked other countries, killed civilians — and always, thanks to the USA and its president, remained unpunished.

No American president deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Each of them has only encouraged wars around the world, and American foreign policy has brought misery to countless nations.

In my view, the only person who truly deserves the Nobel Peace Prize is Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who has consistently condemned Israel’s genocide in Gaza and even prohibited the United States from transporting weapons to Israel through Spanish territory. Isn’t such a courageous and humane person the one who truly deserves the Nobel Prize?

I must also remind you that both American presidents — Biden and Trump — have supplied Israel with bombs free of charge, bombs that have destroyed Gaza, its hospitals, schools, and homes. Those same bombs have killed over 100,000 Palestinians. Sadly, this is not even the final number; once the ruins are cleared, the death toll will likely be twice as high.

Therefore, once again, I urge you clearly and strongly: No! Donald Trump does not deserve any award — he deserves to stand trial for his participation in the genocide in Gaza.


With respect
