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.
True. But if you saw a 20-year-old asshole beating the shit out of a 10-year-old asshole (even if the 10-year-old started it), you wouldn’t hand the 20-year-old a bat.
The 10 year old didn’t even start it. His big brother started it, then retreated safely home to watch the 10 year old get pummeled. When someone finally intervenes and stops the fighting, the big brother will come out and sucker punch the 20 year old again, leaving the 10 year old to deal with the consequences. Again.
