Just for the record, this makes 9 Israeli Nobel Prize winners in all.

All Arab countries combined have a total of 5 Nobel Prize winners. And, yes, one of those is Yasir Arafat’s Nobel Peace Prize.

Who cares about those crack pots?
Israel has good one of the academic institutions in the world.In spite of the fact, they are so young.
I think many Israeli Professors are still front runners in getting a Nobel Prize.Prof. Yakir Aharonov
and Prof. Dan Shechtman are two of them.And Prof. Elon Lindenstrauss , an Israeli currently living in USA, may get Fields Medal award ,the Nobel equivalent of mathematics, next year.

No, he was not a front-runner for atomic physics; his fields of research are quantum mechanics and theoretical physics; two fields of research that deal with our understanding of the universe.

In all the excitement about an Israeli women winning the Noble Prize for chemistry,
just a week ago an Israeli Physicist was the front runner to win the Noble prize for
Atomic Physics!

I find this very interesting. It shows how the Israelis are working progressively to better their people and perhaps something that is beneficial to the world. Unfortunate for the Arab world because they don’t want to realize the kinship to the Israelis. We are both brothers through our father Abraham/Ibrahim. I do not see an interest in the Arab world to accomplish such achievements even though they are some of the richest people in the world. As I pointed out to a Palestinian once before, Yasser Arafat did not leave any money from his BILLIONS to the Palestinian nation, for he new that they would only squabble for it and kill each other in the process. He is the ONLY Palestinian to win a Nobel Peace Price for “renouncing” terrorism. Did he? Why is it that the Arab world grind their teeth when a Jew wins something they could have accomplished? They are TOOOO busy squabbling or trying to convert the world to their beliefs. It time they should be quiet and work toward bettering themeselves and the world.

Israel is not a new country, It is been Israel since ancient times. Take note it is obviously much much older than UN.

Really, Alex? The Saudis have been inundated with oil wealth for decades, and there are no Saudi Nobel prize winners. Ditto for the rest of the Arab world that is flooded with oil.

The Palestinians have been given billions of dollars over the past 40 years, and yet, there’s not a single Palestinian Nobel prize winner.

I think your cause-and-effect theory needs a little more work.

The Jewish people have been persecuted from the beginning of time, it seems. They have been blamed for so many things throughout the centuries. That a Jewish woman would win a Nobel prize is awesome, and long overdue! No matter what misguided person says against the Jewish nation and people, they will remain God’s people. No one can take that away from them, except for the Jews (or anyone else, for that matter) that do not claim Jesus Christ as their savior. (Look it up in the Bible.)
Wouldn’t it be great someday, if the Arab and Jewish people finally realized that Abraham (in the Bible) is father to both of them–that they BOTH share a common, undeniable heritage–and started acting like brothers that LOVE each other? Maybe someday, the great Arab and Jewish nations can jointly work together to create objects of PEACE!
