The congratulatory clip circulated on Hamas-controlled TV before editors blurred out Einbinder’s shoulders, citing indecency. “We support women having a platform,” a Hamas cultural minister explained, “so long as their platform is inside a locked basement, behind a curtain, with no microphone, and preferably while they’re not alive.”
Hamas has promised to “review her case,” which in their legal system usually means choosing between “stoning at dawn” or “stoning at dusk.”
Western media outlets have yet to issue a statement, though sources close to Hollywood confirm that if Einbinder donned a climate-themed dress, she would already be nominated for an Oscar.
