Award ceremony suspended after writer compares Gaza to Nazi-era Jewish ghettos
US-Russian journalist Masha Gessen won Germany’s Hannah Arendt prize for political thought
A German foundation has said it will no longer be awarding a prize for political thinking to a leading Russian-American journalist after criticizing as “unacceptable” a recent essay by the writer in which they made a comparison between Gaza and a Jewish ghetto in Nazi-occupied Europe.

On the bright side I really appreciate how many people speak out against Israel. I feel like their government has finally abused the "you're either for us or antisemitic" card enough for people to stop caring about that bs.
Truth is that government never really wanted peace and many Israeli didn't either. Not that Hamas is any better. The point is there are no good guys here. Just idiots and criminals and civilians who are being slaughtered because of the former.
This time, with social media's pervasiveness, the pro-Israel propaganda is tissue paper thin. People are absolutely coming to grips with the fact that Israel is engaging in broad daylight ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Not that Hamas is any better. The point is there are no good guys here.
True. But if you saw a 20-year-old asshole beating the shit out of a 10-year-old asshole (even if the 10-year-old started it), you wouldn't hand the 20-year-old a bat.
The 10 year old didn't even start it. His big brother started it, then retreated safely home to watch the 10 year old get pummeled. When someone finally intervenes and stops the fighting, the big brother will come out and sucker punch the 20 year old again, leaving the 10 year old to deal with the consequences. Again.
The resistance to the genocidal state is, by definition, a lot better than said genocidal state. Until such time as Israel ends their genocide, nothing Hamas does in retaliation will be unjustified. Hamas is the good guys, for exactly the same reasons America, USSR and UK were the good guys in WW2
I think you're confused. We've all been there, but your history is....a little off. Hamas aint the good guys, chief. We're here to support average Palestinians. Hamas is a clusterfuck of geopoliticking and violence that only serves to further radicalize people. They're not a solution to the violence.
Hamas is a solution to the violence in the same way the allies landing on Normandy was a solution. The only way to stop genocide is by killing a fuck ton of people, and Hamas is killing a lot of Israelis right now. If it kills a genocider, it is a good act. Hamas is only radicalizing people by stating the truth. They're not the hero we deserve, but they are the hero we need right now.
