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.

Well, if history is indeed cyclical, then in a 100 years Palestinians will have their own ethnostate and oppressing a different peoples. My guess is Kurds. /s

Not likely. Conjuring new nations out of former colonies isn't really doable anymore.

In a 100 years it might, after our current world order has been consumed by the effects of unimpeded climate change. There's hope yet for the Palestinians to have a go. /s

Damn, I forgot about climate change. I don't do that often these days.

You'd think supporting the west supporting Nazi's comitting genocide would never be doable anymore yet here we are.
