A Jewish writer for The Atlantic named Anne Applebaum is trending on social media after she called for more weapons to be sent from the West to Ukraine while receiving a peace prize in Germany.
Applebaum, described as an American-Polish historian, received the prestigious Peace Prize of the German Book Trade after she wrote an article for The Atlantic called "Trump Is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini," along with the tagline:
"The former president has brought dehumanizing language into American presidential politics."
Applebaum's work was recognized by the prestigious German Book Trade, where she delivered an acceptance speech about her peace prize during which "she advocated for continued military support for Ukraine."
When Dr. Simon Goddek brought Applebaum's hypocrisy to the forefront via X / Twitter, he was instantly blocked by Applebaum.
"What a hilarious showcase of pure hypocrisy," tweeted the Health Ranger. "Applebaum is a dishonest propagandist and promoter of pure evil."

Applebaum: "'I want peace' is not always a moral argument"
Also a Pulitzer Prize winner, Applebaum is a media darling, even though her "peace" platform is actually a call for more war.
"'I want peace' is not always a moral argument," Applebaum declared during her Peace Prize acceptance speech in promotion of more weapons and cash for Volodymyr Zelensky.
It used to be that someone was awarded a peace prize for actually promoting peace. In Applebaum's case, pacifism in the traditional sense is "nothing more than appeasement," to quote EuroNews, when it is presented "in the face of aggression," this referring to Russia's early-2022 invasion of Ukraine.
"If there is even a small chance that military defeat could help end this horrific cult of violence in Russia, just as military defeat once brought an end to the cult of violence in Germany, we should take it," Applebaum said from the stage alongside her husband, Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski.
"Some even call for peace by referring solemnly to the 'lessons of German history.' As I am here today accepting a peace prize, this seems the right moment to point out that 'I want peace' is not always a moral argument. This is also the right moment to say that the lesson of German history is not that Germans should be pacifists."
Applebaum's hypocrisy is not going unnoticed on social media. In one breath, she is calling Trump a genocidal dictator. In another breath, she is being handed peace prizes for supporting war.
"I didn't even know Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin had similar speaking styles," joked someone on X / Twitter about Applebaum's Atlantic piece. "And I've certainly never seen any of them mix a stand-up comedy show into their speeches."
Another asked Applebaum directly what she meant during her speech at the Peace Prize award ceremony in Frankfurt:
"How can one be for peace while simultaneously advocating for the continued military support in a war? Doesn't sound like a peaceful way to end the conflict, does it?"
Someone else joked that The Atlantic is My Space, "they just don't know it yet."
"The current institutional landscape knows that its demise is imminent, and until then is making a good fool of itself," wrote another about how the establishment is panicking about its impending loss of power.
"When she writes it is truth, but when she advocates for more war it is a humanitarian effort," wrote another about Applebaum's blatant hypocrisy. "She is the worst kind of so-called journalist."
