Sweden Hits a Double

Sweden has awarded the $50,000 Olof Palme Prize to Palestinian terror enabler Hanan Ashrawi.

Ashrawi was honored for her “consistent and fearless fight over the years for her people’s independence and dignity,” the Olof Palme Memorial Fund for International Understanding and Common Security said.

Ashrawi was a spokeswoman for the Palestinian side in peace talks in the early 1990s and served as Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s higher education minister between 1996 and 1998. She’s served as an elected member of the Palestinian Legislative Council since 1996.

The awards committee called Ashrawi “a leading force in the struggle for increased openness and democratic structures within her own Palestinian ranks” and said she was “an inspiring symbol of a new, democratic, peaceful Middle East.”
