In this episode of Need to Know with Dr. Nsenga Burton, Dr. Burton takes a hard look at the difference between earning recognition and exploiting it, using the current President’s rumored pursuit of a Nobel Peace Prize as a wake-up call.
She breaks down the misconceptions surrounding the Israel–Hamas conflict, clarifying that it’s a war between Israel and Hamas, not Israel and Palestine — and explains why that distinction matters in global conversations about peace and accountability.
Dr. Burton also questions the morality of pausing peace efforts for personal gain, challenging both leaders and citizens to demand higher ethical standards. With her signature insight and urgency, she reminds us that true leadership is earned — not awarded.
