Author who recommended killing Palestinian journalists receives German ‘peace prize’
US right-winger Anne Applebaum gets award despite appalling record and accusations of being a mouthpiece for US and UK imperialism Right-wing author and journalist Anne Applebaum has been awarded t…
So, average German here. Person I have never heard of gets an award I've never heard of. Doesn't seem very peaceful to me tho.
I'd say I'm interested in hearing the reasoning, but that would be a lie. It's been a while since I cared about any such awards.
Yeah, anyone can just make up an award and give it to anyone. Thats not even really newsworthy.
No real opinion about it, tbh.
It's a "price" handed out by a for-profit conglomerate, so it's not really something I ever thought about in all the years it very briefly came up. In fact this is the first I'm reminded about it existing in 4 years or so? I doubt most germans have ever heard of the "Börsenverein", nevermind it's "price" or this author or what she wrote.
Par for the course from the country that reintegrated its Nazis.
I’m no nazi apologist, but given how many members of the party were average people who didn’t take part in the genocide, I don’t really know what else you’d expect. Yes, probably a lot more higher ups and definitely anyone who had direct knowledge of the camps should have been up for war crimes, but what about the schlub who repaired people’s plumbing?
Fuck all nazis. See a nazi, punch a nazi. All that jazz.
The average German thinks skwawkbox isn't a reliable source.
Israel has the right to exist bro which also covers an ethnic cleansing to make ww2 right
That's about the only thing a German can muster up nowadays it seems.

You're going to have to back that one up...
Journalistic standards in the West is how hard you blow the establishment.
The article has some really weird parts underlining somebody's anti-Russian and pro-Ukrainian while discussing Gaza/Israel -situation. It's like there's one larger eastern power killing indiscriminantly a smaller population west of them. And per article it's horrific when it's Gaza but somehow it's US and UK imperialism when Russians are killing/raping/pillagin in Ukraine.
I'd take the source with a grain of salt.
Neither of these conflicts are indiscriminate killings. Israel is deliberately targeting civilians and children. Russia is targeting military targets. It's not through pure chance that Israel has killed over a hundred times as many children.

What's more German than trying to achieve peace through genocide.

@I agree with you!
Any downvoters want to comment or is it just bigotry?
