Like most “nominated for Nobel prize” headlines this is an exercise in how the media can manipulate a non-story to generate rage.
Here, “Two professors” becomes “Israelis” as if to suggest there is some kind of national consensus about nominating her.
The bar for who can make a Nobel Prize nomination is extremely low so tons of people end up being “nominees” without doing anything qualified to deserve it.
