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.

    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.
