Who is Anne Applebaum?

The Polish citizen and spouse of former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland, Radosław Sikorski, is a world wide renowned journalist pubishing in leading magazines like The Atlantic, the Economist and The Washington Post.

She is especially popular in Germany where her articles and books have some influence on the public discourse. 2024 the important Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels (Peace Price of German Book Trade) was added to her long list of awards.

The journalist James Jackson just posted an article of Anne Applebaum from January 2002 on Insta

in which she defends Israeli attacks on Palestinian meda as legitimate acts of war which gives some food of thought in these days of systematic deadly attacks on Palestinian journalists.

This of course was known to the jury at the Frankfurt book fair that decided last year to award Anne Applebaum the prestigious peace price exposing the German Staatsräson once more as a blood soaked example of political moral.
