Eurovision is allowing Israel to participate despite its ongoing genocide against Palestinians.
Boycott Eurovision.
Do not watch it. Do not support it.
Not watching isn't enough anymore.
Boycott Eurovision on a local level. Contact your local participating broadcaster and demand that they withdraw from the contest. Pressure representing artists into withdrawing too. Boycott Baileys and MoroccanOil for their support of the contest. Especially if you're from UK, France, Germany, Italy or Spain.
People have been not watching it cause of their blatant support of Israel for years, and that wasn't enough to convince them even in the midst of a genocide. We need to actually create a bad image for Eurovision and pressure their partners and contributors from not supporting the show.
if anyone needs help with contacting their broadcasters, @euroquision made a guide on how to do so, along with contact information for each broadcaster.
tracy chapman really unlocked something with fast car. you cant listen to fast car without Feeling. every person who has ever and will ever listen to fast car has felt the same feeling as every other person who has or will listen to it. fast car is an experience. it should be listed in the dsm5. felt too much while listening to fast car.
There is only one definition for zionism: its manifestation as the illegitimate state of 'Israel' in from the 20th century to the 21st century.
Btw I think it's very important to reblog this, even if you don't have the time to watch the whole thing, just so someone else gets to watch it. There's a concerted effort by zionists and propagandists to try and change the literal definition of political zionism to something it's not. Since that's what this week's propaganda line is, make sure to reblog this. Don't let people feign ignorance.
it really is so annoying how ppl in the west so clearly understand that their own civilians are distinct from their governments and that wherever a fascist rises there are swaths of people living in that country who hate them and resist them and are first and foremost victimized by them but everywhere outside of the holy light of personhood is just full of mindless barbarians who worship fascism
this is especially the case for places where large portions of the population don't speak english or otherwise don't bother going on social media to beg for scraps of recognition from western europeans or north americans -- maybe if you spoke the language of the people you're deriding as evil you'd see how complex and heterogenous domestic politics are everywhere on earth
being unashamedly racist against people you happily conflate into a brainless fascist horde is not the leftist win you think it is
what do you people not understand about the fact that feeling guilty is not praxis and is, in fact, completely and totally useless
cannot emphasize enough that educating yourself about palestine should not be a method of self punishment, it should be a tool for advocacy and compassion. “this isn’t about you” means that this isn’t about your guilt either. expecting and acknowledging negative emotions does not mean chasing them. self flagellation accomplishes nothing.
now, with this in mind, you should never expect palestinians to censor themselves for your comfort. that’s not what i’m suggesting. i’m just saying that sometimes discomfort and fear and guilt are necessary to see a fuller picture of the world and figure out how to help: but guilt is not the point and will probably impede your efficacy in the long run
have humans developed a language that can accurately describe the intensity of this grief?
