I am little confused about the meaning of "peace"

Since the prize went to Barack Dronebama before, she looks much better poised.

As soon as she won the prize she called up Netanyahu and praised him for what he's done in Gaza. They're not really even trying to make these hollowed out institutions look credible anymore.
