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.

    Your links don’t support your claim, and in fact contradict it. No doomerism please.

      I highly doubt that you’ve read them or comprehend the implications. The models have various outputs. Good luck with your optimism, but don’t expect me to work to keep your hopes up.

        I skimmed a few, but I took your dozens of seemingly barely relevant links as a deliberate attempt to keep people from scrutinizing your claim. So no, I didn’t read all of them and I doubt you did either. If you did then please point to specifically where any of that supports your claim that Gaza will be uninhabitable.

        Most seemed completely irrelevant to your claim but one paper showed a projected lethal heat map. It did not show any such heat in Israel/Palestine. This makes sense because west-facing coastal regions are protected from extreme temperatures by marine weather.
