First of all this terrorist ass-kissing sycophant doesn't have an honest bone in his body. In fact, the only reason why the UN appointed him is because he's their favorite kind of Jew...an uber left-wing ideologue who savages Israel at every opportunity without ever uttering a word of criticism against the real perpetrators of the conflict. And I'm saying this having spent my student days on the far-left of the political spectrum, which is why I detest the hypocrisy of Richard Falk and the others of his ilk.

This points out the basic unfairness under which Palestinians must labor, even when abetted by useful idiots from foreign countries. If only the Gazans had the foresight to found a competing award 40 years ago! Murakami would have a choice.

Maybe the 300 or so civilians were precious lives, but the vast majority of those killed, the gunmen and sick Hamas destroyers of Gaza, deserve the deaths they received.

literature and culture. Look at Hamas -they are ninjas!

Palestinians mustn't dominate Japanese people.

They are kidding "precious lives" speaking about these unwhorty Hamas terrorists ! Who cares about pro palestinian activists, they are the scum of the world.

There is nothing positive that has been done by the Palestinians nor any Arab/Moslem in the past 300 years. There is a long list of inventions, intellectual writing, contributions to developing nations, etc by Jews and Israelis. All the Arabs do is complain. They contribute nothing but terrorism to society

give it to a woman from jerusalem ...afifa is a good woman for peace in jerusalem . please give it to afifa . we do not need japaneese only to have electrice machines and we will pay money to japaneese but the prize must be to afifa

the nature of evil destructive forces, that is Hamas. The Palestinians who wrote the letter probably never read a single book by Murakami, they only view him strictly in political terms. Books? God forbid, they might be forced to look at themselves in a different light.

Apartheid was the separation of people based on ethnicity while the separation wall is Israel's way of separating Israel from the would be nation of Palestine. It is a wall to keep out armed militants who would prevent the formation of a Palestinian Nation even though they would belong to it and claim that this is what they want.

In truth, those behind this appeal to Murakami quietly loathe both him & his infidel product. The ice-cold creepyness & malevolence of these Palestinian/Islamic organizations has reached a surreal level. They are literally pulling every tactical move in the book to achieve their ends.

Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera said :At minimum there were600 lives mostly hamas men who hid behind civilians .....They have no shame to sacrifice innocents as long as they kill jews .....MORE PALLYWOOD

They are abusing his personality and novels on the forum which belongs Japanese Palestinian blogs. Don't mix up Nation and Parson!!

why not also invest in the "arab" side and make it look as nice, clean, and organized as the "jewish?" side? its the least the government can do the arab tax payers.

Livni has vowed to stay in opposition in order to pursue her "holy principles" http://samsonblinded.org/news/livni-palestinian-state-is-holy-8257 Perhaps she can fool RTVi, but she can't fool us.
