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.

    America supports whoever we think will benefit us the most geopolitically lol. Israel is a centerpiece in the MENA which can’t really be ignored for how much pressure they put on their neighbors.
