@BoyGeorge And finally, let me take apart this bullshit too — "go to Palestine as a gay man and see what they'd do to you."
Nobody can go to Gaza. Not press, not aid, not without Israeli permission that never comes. And being hated by someone doesn't make their killing acceptable.
@BoyGeorge The UN and the ICJ are not propaganda. They are independent, they have mandates, and they have access to evidence. Dismissing everyone who speaks up as ignorant is the exact thing you're accusing others of.
@BoyGeorge Nobody is walking away because you stood up for Jewish friends. Framing it that way is convenient but dishonest.
The objection is to a pattern of posts that read as racist and Islamophobic, and to a narrative that begins on 7 October as if nothing preceded it.
Ante la celebración de la final del festival de Eurovisión esta noche, RTVE recuerda que ha decidido no participar en esta edición del certamen.
El festival de Eurovisión es un concurso, pero los derechos humanos no lo son. No hay espacio para la indiferencia. Paz y Justicia para Palestina.
🇨🇿 BREAKING:

However, the delegation confirm they're still in communication with the EBU regarding the performance.

Mi ero promesso di non scrivere niente con hashtag fino a domani sera, ma queste dichiarazioni di Martin Green sono di una gravità e abiettezza da farmi inorridire.
Eventuale ritorno della Russia, invasioni che non impediscono di partecipare... ma seriamente?
Este año no estaremos en Eurovisión, pero lo haremos con la convicción de estar en el lado correcto de la historia.
Por coherencia, responsabilidad y humanidad.
Una lunga inchiesta del New York Times ricostruisce come il governo Netanyahu abbia speso oltre 800mila dollari per condizionare il voto del pubblico a Malmö e Basilea, mentre l'EBU gestiva la crisi nell'opacità e cinque Paesi annunciavano il boicottaggio https://t.co/B9olvi2pHp
EUROVISION: The failure of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to suspend Israel from Eurovision, as it did with Russia, is an act of cowardice and an illustration of blatant double standards when it comes to Israel.
Israeli participation in the Eurovision Song Contest offers the country a platform to try to deflect attention from and normalize its ongoing genocide in the occupied Gaza strip, and its moves towards further annexation of Gaza and the West Bank including East Jerusalem, as well as its system of apartheid against Palestinians.
Israel’s impunity can no longer be tolerated, and people everywhere must act in accordance with their conscience and stand up for human rights.

Israel has continued their promotional campaign with an altered video which no longer asks for 10 votes for Israel.
It is still set in the same studio and it's in the same format as the previous 2 years

RTÉ and other public service broadcasters in Slovenia and Spain will not show the Eurovision Song Contest this week as they boycott the event over Israel's participation.
