Greta is still arrested in Israel or has she been released? She put her life to deliver food to people dying from genocide TWICE ... and instead they give it to someone who was legitimizing and supporting American invasion of their own country. Just like when Saddam fell and the US installed all their corrupt Iraqi cronies who labbied the US to take him down. What a disgracful joke

Greta has been released but an elderly Spanish woman is still being held hostage and tortured by Israel.

you mean the proto-fascist opposition?

yeah nobel prizes are bullshit aren't they? now that i remember it, fucking obama got one.

[-] tja@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Do you have sources for that? The only thing I am finding is that the president claims everyone who is against him is fascist.

An institution that has already laureated Henry Kissinger cannot be taken seriously. Corrupted and biased institution

[-] arox@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz -5 points 1 day ago

Please explain. What was the issue?

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 day ago

Henry Kissinger is responsible for war crimes in Cambodia during the Vietnam war whose effects we're still dealing w today; an institution that celebrates this legacy should not be well regarded nor respected.

The prize should've gone to the Freedom Flotilla, for actually helping humanity!

The US is planning a regime change in Venezuela. No doubt they would love to use the "we bring Democracy by installing a Nobel peace prize winner" angle.

The USA decided where this prize went.

I'm sure Norwegian oil and mining companies already causing environmental damage and poisoning communities in the Amazon had a few things to say as well.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 day ago

She donated her award to Trump and asked him to invade Venezuela, lol.

[-] reagansrottencorpse@lemmy.ml 45 points 1 day ago

Has the peace prize always been bullshit ?

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 32 points 1 day ago

They gave one to Henry Kissinger

[-] Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago

The prize committee is a seriously unfunny joke.

[-] 20cello@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Greta Thumberg was the one who deserved it imo but I can see the point of giving the prize to Mrs.Machado

[-] narwhal@mander.xyz 35 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's an attempt to legitimize an attack on venezuela.
The peace prize is unfortunately used to promote war.

[-] causepix@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 day ago

I can't. She's a puppet for Washington. An heiress of the Venezuelan oligarchic elite whose only intention is to destabilize the government so she and her cronies can sell off Venezuela's natural resources, notably oil, while cutting public services and pocketing the cash for themselves.

This is literally just "Maduro bad, opposition good." This is like putting a healthcare CEO's granddaughter up in the US as we've only begun to recover, 25 years after removing Trump from power, and a powerful enemy state; let's say Russia; sabotaging any recovery, pointing at the results of their sabotage as proof recovery has failed, and awarding Ms. Thompson numerous prizes and recognition for being hated by the public and rightfully prevented from holding power. And that's to say nothing of whatever leader would actually be in power in that scenario.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 day ago

Yep, same reason they gave it to Kissinger and other war criminals, the "Peace Prize" is whatever benefits western imperialism the most, generally.

[-] BCBoy911@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

She asked the US and Israel to invade and bomb Venezuela... that's the opposite of peace activism, that's war activism!

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago

I can't see the point of giving her the prize, she's asking the US Empire to overthrow a democratically elected government trying to establish a socialist system.

[-] BCBoy911@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The point is to manufacture consent for violent regime change.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 day ago

Oh, gotcha, then I agree. Thought you were saying you supported giving the prize to that fascist.

[-] 20cello@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Yes ofc,that was the point I was thinking of, she's a zionist

[-] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

Wasn't Médecines Sans Frontières nominated as well?

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Much more deserving, along with Greta and the rest of the Flotilla.

[-] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

They are seriously one of the few large organizations I still donate to.

[-] comfy@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

They also won the 1999 prize, and are famously the peace prize winner who were bombed by another peace prize winner in 2015 (Barack Obama).

[-] adeoxymus@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Why does the article not have a picture of the winner?

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 day ago

It does, but I edited it. That is the meme. I think it's going over the heads of a lot of people.
