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 wonder if in 100 years we'll be looking at Israel like we look at Nazi Germany nowadays.

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.

[-] pufferfischerpulver@feddit.de 11 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

In a couple decades we'll pass a non binding resolution condemning the genocide of Gaza and pat ourselves on the back for doing the right thing. Then we'll pass another military aid package for Greater Israel.

100 years from now the MENA region will be uninhabitable due to climate heating and I doubt that anyone will want to visit it in some spacesuit.

They have long been at the point where the heat seems to impact their thought processes negatively. It will only get worse with more heat, I'm afraid.

If they end up losing.
