‘Those Fighting for Peace in Gaza Deserve Prize’, Says Nobel Peace Laureate
Nobel laureate Toshiyuki Mimaki has broken down in tears and given an emotional speech about what is going on in Gaza at a news conference, according to Reuters.
Mimaki’s remarks came after Nihon Hidankyo, an organization for atomic bomb survivors’ group that Mimaki co-chairs, had won the Nobel Peace Prize.
The group’s co-chair stated that activists who support peace in Gaza are the only people who deserve the prize.
He also revealed that he never dreamed they would win and thought ‘those fighting hard for peace in Gaza deserve it.”
Mimaki sadly noted that Israel’s bloody genocide in Gaza reminds him of US nuclear bomb that hit Hiroshima in 1945.
“The images of children in Gaza covered in blood held by their parents remind me of Japan 80 years ago,” he added.
Mimaki also mentioned that most people today seek to achieve peace in the world, but politicians insist on waging war, saying “We will not stop until we win.”
“I think this is true for Russia and Israel, and I always wonder whether the power of the United Nations could not put a stop to it,” Mimaki said.
