The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The Camp David accords were announced in September, 1978, the evening of the original "Battlestar Galactica" TV series premier. The prizes were presented to Sadat and Begin December 10, 78. Carter, the facilitator of the accords, was not awarded a Nobel until 2002. Following that pattern, "Bibi" and whoever heads Hamas would receive prizes, but not Trump.

Similarly, Kissinger and Le Duc Tho received their Peace Prizes shortly after the negotiation of the Vietnam War cease fire as well. Note that those two were the facilitators of the ceasefire, not the heads of state that agreed to it, so there's also precedent for awarding the negotiator rather than the parties directly.

Honestly, I can easily see the Nobel Committee preferring to give the prize to Trump than to either the leader of Hamas (a terrorist organization that was the precipitator of the current horrible phase of the conflict) or to Netanyahu (who they probably regard as even more of a war criminal than the allegations against Kissinger).
