      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.

      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.

    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.
