Israelíes galardonados con el Premio Novel

Desde 1966 hasta hoy, Israel ha ganado 12 Premios Nobel: el Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1966, dos Premios Nobel de la Paz en 1978, dos Premios Nobel de la Paz en 1994 y cuatro Premios Nobel de Química entre 2004 y 2013. Los israelíes también han sido galardonados con el Premio Sveriges Riksbank en Ciencias Económicas en memoria de Alfred Nobel en dos ocasiones.

Por lo general, la Real Academia de las Ciencias de Suecia espera décadas para evaluar la verdadera relevancia de cada descubrimiento científico importante antes de otorgar uno de sus premios. Por lo tanto, desde que se fundó del Estado de Israel en 1948 hasta que se otorgó el primer Premio Nobel de Ciencias a un ciudadano israelí pasaron más de 50 años.

Es importante destacar algo de lo que todos podemos estar orgullosos: de los 919 ganadores del Premio Nobel que ha habido hasta 2019, 204 han sido judíos (por parte de uno o ambos progenitores). ¡Eso es el 22,2 % de todos los Premios Nobel!
