Vielschichtige Reportage von Masha Gessen über Péter Magyars Sieg in Ungarn (mit Aufnahmen von Máté Bartha, die die Stimmung nach der Wahl festhalten): https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/opinion/hungary-win-election-viktor-orban.html?unlocked_article_code=1.mVA.yHR9.5iwQNPRcDcHN&smid=url-share (Geschenk-Link). Gessen hat u.a. Bálint Magyar, den Entwickler des Konzepts des Authoritarian Breakthrough, gefragt, wie es gelang das Orbán-Regime zu besiegen. Der Pluralismus der Bewegung, die ausgezeichnete Organisation und Péter Magyars relativer Outsider-Status waren mitentscheidend. Man ist bewusst anders vorgegangen als Orbán, hat auf die unterschiedlichen Stimmen in der Bevölkerung gehört und auf reale Menschen gesetzt statt auf Online-Mobilisierung.
Wir haben in der Steiermark einen FPÖ-Landeshauptmann, der Orbán verehrt. Orbán setzte in seiner Symbolpolitik auf ungarische Minderheiten in Nachbarstaaten – Kunasek provoziert durch eine Landeshymne, die die slowenische Südsteiermark zum Teil der „Heimat“ erklärt. Sollten Kunasek und sein Parteichef Erfolg haben, stehen wir am Anfang der Orbanisierung, mit der Ungarn gebrochen hat. (Ich fürchte, dass Putin ihnen dabei durch Angriffe und Kriegsdrohungen helfen wird.) Wir nehmen diese Gefahr immer noch nicht erst genug – während Masha Gessen immer auch Trump meint, wenn von Orbán die Rede ist.

Zischen gegen Israel
„Juden in den Ofen!“, brüllt ein junger Mann in der Pariser Metro. Im selben Wagen fahren zwei Juden, der Dichter Paul Celan und sein Freund Franz Wurm. Es ist März 1970. Wenn sie aussteigen, wird sich Wurm später erinnern, sehen sie, »auf eine Mauer gesprüht, einen Davidstern und daneben = SS.

Germany deporting EU citizens for their political activism is another chilling step towards a new era of authoritarianism - orchestrated not by the AfD, but by the so-called political centre...
And worse again, most of the German media seem to ignore this latest incident!

"Discussion of #Israel and #Palestine has long fallen into a special category. Some have called it 'the Palestine exception to #FreeSpeech.' #BrooklynCollege, like other universities, has weathered many controversies in this area." - #MashaGessen

Unmut und Austritte sind dem zweiten Kongress des Autorenvereins PEN Berlin vorausgegangen. Die Gretchenfrage lautet: Sag, wie hast du’s mit Israel? Sie wird eindeutig beantwortet. Aber es gibt auch Panels, die mit der deutschen Staatsräson ganz und gar nicht zufrieden sind.#Kueveler-Jan #PENInternationaleSchriftstellervereinigung #Israel-Palästina-Konfliktab2000Geo:IsrPal #Yücel #Deniz #Menasse #Eva #Neiman #Susan #PENBerlin #Israel #BDS #Kreuzberg #Palästina #SusanNeiman #DenizYücel #EvaMenasse #ErnstPiper #MashaGessen #USA #CriticalRaceTheory #Gaza #ElisabethvonThadden #Neukölln #DanielKehlmann #Brexit #Erklärung #Krimi
Streit um Israel und Palästina: „Der PEN Berlin lehnt BDS ab“ -
I'm not in the habit of boosting the work of staff writers at The New Yorker, but this essay -- the one that got Masha Gessen's Hannah Arendt Prize ceremony cancelled (they're still getting the actual award) -- is quite good.
There aren't really pull quotes to take out that would do it justice. I recommend just reading it in full. The controversy has whittled the whole thing down to one paragraph about the similarities between Gaza and the Jewish ghettos under the Nazi regime, but that omits a lot. And it's a telling omission.
The actual gist of it is the impossibility, given the nature of a lot of official Holocaust and WWII memory culture, of having an honest discussion about the current fighting in Israel/Palestine specifically, and about victims who are also perpetrators more generally. But even that kind of shortchanges the scope of Gessen's argument.
The cancellation of the award ceremony only appears all the more absurd once you've read the article. If I saw a movie where an article like this produced a response like that, I'd be annoyed because it would just seem too perfect to be believable.
In any event, it's worth reading.

"Some of the great Jewish thinkers who survived the Holocaust spent the rest of their lives trying to tell the world that the horror, while uniquely deadly, should not be seen as an aberration. That the Holocaust happened meant that it was possible—and remains possible." — #MashaGessen #memoryculture

Masha Gessen’s Hannah Arendt Prize has been canceled because of their essay on Gaza
In the New Yorker essay, published on December 9, Gessen criticizes Germany’s Israel policy (including the Bundestag’s controversial BDS resolution, which condemns the Israel boycott movement as anti-Semitic) and its politics of remembrance, and compares the plight of today’s besieged Gazans to that of the ghettoized Jews in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe.

Do you know why #ShinigamiEyes marks #MashaGessen as red on Twitter? red means #transphobe but I've never found anything #transphobic that #Gessen has said?
I'm listening now, and it's possibly the least transphobic thing I've ever heard, but I can definitely see how it might have been seen out of context on #Twitter
might interest to @TashTaylor and @quinsibell https://open.spotify.com/episode/6DPQNiIMB9ZbguVWhwyiFn?si=KAX9z2TaSQmMm4UU3WyZJg the article has a paywall popup but the #podcast is on #Spotify
