1. Jews Only?

Wouldn't a lot of people be screaming if the Nobel Prize were to be restricted to non-Jews only?
2. Genesis/JAgency prize

Wouldn't it be nice if that money was going to help the needy rather than give glamour to the oligarchs...
3. Let me guess....
Haim ,   Rehovot   (05.17.10)
The first winner will be a Russian? The Jewish Agency is just one example of former pioneer organizations that have lost sight of their original causes, and now serve only as places to dump political and other has-beens, and to play that popular Israeli pastime, nepotism.
4. Prize for only ZIONISTs, Jews already won many NOBEL
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (05.17.10)
but they were not ZIONIST and they are against ZIONISM Sharansky rewarding Zionist contributions to "humanity", what is contribution of Sharaksky? Heroin smuggling and Bullying?
5. I think this is a great idea!
Yonatan Frimer ,   Safed, Israel   (05.17.10)
This is a great way to show recognition for those that have helped make the world a better place. I think they should distance themselves from "nobel prize" though, since that was established on guilt by the inventor of dynamite.
6. Well, at least you don't have to worry...
Mikesailor ,   Miami, FL   (05.18.10)
about awarding any type of 'Peace Prize'. Could be one for making martzoh, however.
7. Hidden rascism.
sami ,   Lebanon   (05.18.10)
"Jew from Israel or the Diaspora for making a significant contribution to all of humanity " sound nice ,but will that include the Palestinian humanity ? Doubtful .
8. Shame on Shransky Bloomberg Deserves 0!
