"Yasser Arafat received the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize with Israeli leaders Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres for their efforts to create peace in the Middle East, specifically for the Oslo Accords that established Palestinian self-governance."

Yes I'm that old.
And Republicans make fun of Obama for winning it.
The only Republican stupid enough to care is of course Trump himself.

true gentleman would have said "Thank you, but you won that award." His greed is unfathomable.

BTW, the medal does have some gold in it: Before 1980 the Nobel Prize medal was made from 23 carat gold. Newer Nobel Prize medals are 18 carat green gold plated with 24 carat gold. Green gold, also known as electrum, is an alloy of gold and silver, with trace amounts of copper.

But he should be ashamed every time he looks at his unearned "prize."
