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.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 4 months ago

Yeah, anyone can just make up an award and give it to anyone. Thats not even really newsworthy.

[-] Carighan@lemmy.world 32 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 14 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

"Börseverein" basically means "Stock Market Club". At least they're not subtle.

[-] sunzu@kbin.run 4 points 4 months ago

Ahh rent seekers and money changers club supporting the genocide state

man can't make this up

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.

[-] sparkle@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

I think people misinterpreted your comment. I read it as "Israel has the right to exist bro, which includes ethnic cleansing to right the wrongs of WW2". You know, sarcastically

[-] sunzu@kbin.run -1 points 4 months ago

U read it right but I think so did most of down voters, they just don't want to accept that this is really how the logic works.

Normal person can't accept that the world works like this it seems. So they will enable it to work like this lol

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

which also covers an ethnic cleansing to make ww2 right

What brain damage do you have?

[-] sunzu@kbin.run 1 points 4 months ago

Common sense dear :)

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

If "Common sense" is rationalize genocide, then I don't need it. Seriously. Your types normally deny it. Now you're just encouraging an endless cycle of violence. In 20 to 30 years, when the surviving Palestinian kids have grown up and gotten their own resources, are you just going to be fine with them attacking Israel or burning synagogues? Cause accounting to your logic, it would be their turn.

[-] sunzu@kbin.run 2 points 4 months ago

You are attacking the messenger... This is the time line we got and this is the logic currently employed by zionists, israel and their acolytes.

They clearly don't care about how Palestinian children grow up... if at all.

So under their, logic yes, it seems that's what they want so they can finish the genocide.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

You are attacking the messenger…

No, I'm criticizing the propagandist.

[-] sunzu@kbin.run 2 points 4 months ago

It would be propaganda if it was not true.

If you got issue with above thesis, please provide a counter argument that would explain away current situation better.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

There is no "truth" to the way the world works. Only people perpetuating a status quo by parroting propaganda.

Regular Nobel Prize Recipient Barack "Blow up Doctors Without Borders" Obama: Amateurs

You're going to have to back that one up...

[-] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml -1 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] khapyman@sopuli.xyz 20 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] Aria@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 4 months ago

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.

I don't know about your ass, but I'm pretty sure mine tastes like shit

[-] Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah but what if she's into that

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 months ago

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