Robinson’s words and actions at that Jew/Israel hunt speak for themselves. The only award that she richly deserves is one from the Palestinian Authority!

The E.O. says the Medal is to be awarded to a person who “has performed a meritorious act or service which has aided the United States in the prosecution of a war against an enemy or enemies and for which an award of another United States medal or decoration is considered inappropriate. The Medal of Freedom may also be awarded to any person, not hereinafter specifically excluded, who, on or after December 7, 1941 has similarly aided any nation engaged with the United States in the prosecution of a war against a common enemy or enemies.” How Mary Robinson and for that matter many others qualify under these standards is beyond me.
