Dimitri Lascaris Deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

Posted by Jerry Alatalo | April 4, 2026

[Editor’s note: Here is my brief comment in response to Dimitri Lascaris’ outstanding, profound Iran War reporting:

Thank you for compiling an amazing, immeasurably important body of reporting.

Notable contemporaries of Ernest Hemingway as war correspondents include Marguerite Higgins, who reported during World War II and the Korean War, Peter Arnett, who covered the Vietnam War and the Gulf War, and Martha Gellhorn, who reported on virtually every major world conflict that took place during her 60-year career, and was the third wife of American novelist Ernest Hemingway from 1940 to 1945 .

It is not unreasonable, but entirely rational, to suggest or predict that Dimitri Lascaris will become only the second war correspondent ever to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Carl von Ossietzky is a notable war correspondent who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1935 for his work in exposing German rearmament.

Carl von Ossietzky was recognized for his courageous journalism that revealed the extent of Germany’s military buildup, which was in violation of the Treaty of Versailles. His work highlighted the dangers of militarism and the need for peace in Europe during a time of rising tensions.

The Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Carl von Ossietzky in 1935 is significant because it recognized his courageous opposition to German militarism and his efforts to expose the country’s secret rearmament during a time when he was imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp. His award highlighted the international condemnation of the Nazi regime and underscored the importance of freedom of thought and expression.]

Saturday April 4, 2026 marks the 58th anniversary of the death of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., fatally shot on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee.

Although Martin Luther King Jr. did not directly end the Vietnam War, his efforts significantly contributed to the anti-war movement and highlighted the moral and social injustices associated with the conflict. His legacy continues to inspire movements for peace and justice today.

Thank you, Dimitri Lascaris.

One Battle After Another…

Peace.
