oatmeal , #IsraelBoycott / Mass resignations at ‘Guernica,’ which retracts Israeli writer’s essay
While Israel managed to participate in the #Eurovision, that might be the extent of what Israelis can aspire to in the foreseeable future.
Several staff members and a publisher of the prestigious volunteer-run online magazine #Guernica, a 20-year-old publication covering arts and politics, resigned over an essay by Israeli writer Joanna Chen.
[…] “The moment in the Guernica essay where the Israeli writer — who never considers why Palestinian children don’t have access to adequate healthcare b/c of colonization and apartheid — says she has to stop assisting them getting medical support because of ‘Hamas.’ This is genocidal.”
