Nobel Peace Prize Winner Machado and Her Support for Israel

By

María Corina Machado has just been awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace. It was a good choice. Machado has been a one-woman multitude, for years fighting against the dictatorship of the ruthless Venezuelan dictator, Nicolás Maduro, the successor to another dictator, Hugo Chávez. She is now in hiding in Venezuela, and Maduro wants her head on a platter.

She also has strong views on Israel, but not the sort that will endear her to Zohran Mamdani or Francesca Albanese. She has expressed support for Israeli throughout the war in Gaza. More on her links to Israel can be found here: “Nobel Peace Prize winner Mara Corina Machado supports Israel’s war and Benjamin Netanyahu? Here are the facts,” The Week, October 10, 2025:

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday. The former opposition presidential candidate was lauded for being a “key, unifying figure” in the once deeply divided opposition to President Nicolás Maduro’s government, said Jørgen Watne Frydnes, chair of the Norwegian Nobel committee.

“María Corina Machado – awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize – has spent years working for the freedom of the Venezuelan people. The Venezuelan regime’s rigid hold on power and its repression of the population are not unique in the world. We see the same trends globally: rule of law abused by those in control, free media silenced, critics imprisoned, and societies pushed towards authoritarian rule and militarisation. In 2024, more elections were held than ever before, but fewer and fewer are free and fair,” the Nobel Prize further said on X.

However, following the announcement, many have started to point out that the 58-year-old is a strong ally of Israel and openly backs the country’s decision to bomb the largely unarmed civilians of the Gaza Strip. While there is no known evidence to argue that she supported the one-sided attack on the Palestinian civilians, Machado is undoubtedly an ally of Benjamin Netanyahu. In the past, the centrist-right leader had even declared that if she gains power, she will restore diplomatic relations with Israel.

She has also said that if elected, she will not only restore diplomatic relations with Israel, but will also move the Venezuelan Embassy to Jerusalem.

So let the pro-Hamas heathens rage, as a genuine fighter for democracy, who has put her life on the line in her battle against despotism, is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. And don’t let anyone forget María Corina Machado’s steadfast support for Israel.

Comments

  1. As one among many who supported Trump to be the latest Nobel laureate, I am pleased to learn about Maria Corina Machado as the Nobel committee’s pick for 2024. She has risked life and limb for her people and is deserved of the prize. I am very pleased to read of her support for Israel over the past two years and her plans if she becomes president of Venezuela. I hope she can survive Maduro’s viciousness and eventually sign the warrant for Maduro’s hanging in the public square in Caracas.

  2. I had noted this in earlier threads today, but I’m thrilled at this choice. I know that the White House is disgusted, but Ms Machado definitely deserves it for standing up against the Maduro regime, as opposed to the White House that was armtwisting Israel. Her support to Israel, welcome as it is, is just tangential

    The prize itself is a mix of a rogue’s gallery, such as Yasser Arafat and Mohammad Yunis, mediocre winners like Obama, Peres and Ebadi, and then illustrious winners like Aung San Suu Kyi and now Machado. So not sure that it does too much for her by itself, but if countries pick their leaders from that gallery, then Machado could do a job as good as Suu Kyi, before the latter was ousted in a military coup

    • While I am happy for her and freedom loving Venezuelans, she should be given a prize for fighting against tyranny and despotism and fighting for the rights and freedoms of her native Venezuelans. This award is supposed to be for a global achievement towards peace. So?????? She has not accomplished such on an international scale. This is political and choices of many awardees over the years, like Obama have degraded the meaning of this prize. Unless the criteria/rules are changed or the biased committee, this Nobel prize will continue to lose status and credibility. It is therefore better to defer the prize than water it down.

      • There have been several occasions when people who opposed tyranny of one form or another were given that award. Actually, on that basis, President Trump should have deserved that award in 2021 or 2024

  3. Nobel Peace Prize Winner Machado and Her Support for Israel
    ……………………………………..

    Great to hear! I was surprised that she was picked in the first place, taking a stand against an authoritarian socialist state–but now I am additionally stunned–in a good way.

    • Yeah, I was expecting them not only to bypass President Trump, but also pick some unheard-of Leftist from some fourth world country that even I haven’t heard of. I’m impressed by their ultimate pick

  5. Israel did not purposely bomb unarmed civilians. This is a war which will continue. the Jihadis will not stop in their attempt to annihilate the Jews. Hamas started the war and the so called innocent took part in the massacre.

  6. I believe she was a good choice, and hope she is successful at pulling Venezuelan out of the hole they are in.

  7. Interesting that neither the author nor any commentators mentioned that Ms. Machado dedicated her Nobel Prize to President Trump.
