I'm curious as to what's the opinion of an average German about this? Because this is so fucked up - a right-winger fascist gets a peace prize? Now that's a new one.

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.
"Börseverein" basically means "Stock Market Club". At least they're not subtle.
Ahh rent seekers and money changers club supporting the genocide state
man can't make this up
Par for the course from the country that reintegrated its Nazis.
The average German thinks skwawkbox isn't a reliable source.
Regular Nobel Prize Recipient Barack "Blow up Doctors Without Borders" Obama: Amateurs
You're going to have to back that one up...
You imply that Obama had a direct hand in the decision. Instead, the US military fucked up, and Obama issued an apology.
That's a far cry from writing an article recommending the bombing of Palestinian radio stations.
Oh, right, the military made a little whoopsiedoo when they deliberately committed that war crime and stopped all investigations. We should blame the guy in charge of the military. Commander in Chief... Barack Obama?
I'm sure the families of the victims were moved by the apologies and the $6000.
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.

Journalistic standards in the West is how hard you blow the establishment.
This lady can eat my ass. What a piece of shit.
Why would you grant her that honor?
I don't know about your ass, but I'm pretty sure mine tastes like shit
Yeah but what if she's into that
What's more German than trying to achieve peace through genocide.
Nazi*
The German skull has a unique bump which makes them genetically fascist.
Any downvoters want to comment or is it just bigotry?
