Israel's Foreign Ministry on Friday condemned the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Navi Pillay, former president of the International Criminal Court and current chairwoman of a UN commission examining human rights in the Palestinian territories. The ministry accused Pillay of holding anti-Israel positions and called the decision to grant her the prestigious award a "distorted use of the prize as a tool for legitimizing hatred and prejudice against Israel."
In a strongly worded statement, the ministry asserted that if a prize existed for lies, hatred, and blood libels, Pillay would be the leading candidate. "Her role in the relentless campaign of de-legitimization against Israel and in promoting the blood libel of genocide, driven by political considerations, speaks for itself," the statement read.
The ministry further criticized the Nobel Committee's decision, suggesting that by awarding the prize to what it called "the greatest lie of the 21st century," they had effectively earned the posthumous approval of Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.
