This is terrifying. In a Northern Ireland town, fascists are going door to door targeting immigrants and people of colour. Hundreds, many masked and hooded, have torched homes, businesses, and vehicles—injuring even 32 police officers in a violent rampage.
DANCING ON PALESTINIAN GRAVES: THREE YOUTH DEMAND SUPPORTERS DETAINED DURING ISRAEL'S PERFORMANCE AT THE EUROVISION FINALE
Youth Demand supporters David, Meaghan and Dolly were forcibly removed from the St Jakobshalle arena in Basel, Switzerland during Israel's Yuval Raphael performance at the live Eurovision final. They were taken behind a screen outside the venue where they remain under detention by armed police.
More than 70 former Eurovision stars, including last year's winner Nemo, have said that Israel should be banned from the contest. After 18 months of live-streamed genocide, Israel is now dancing on the graves of Palestinians.
Hear from David on why he took action today.
When our governments ignore the will of the people and use our tax money to arm a genocide, we have to resist. Donate now to fund resistance:

I think some people are more upset about unusual violence than structural violence because they assume the structural violence is an inevitable feature of modern society so not only is no one to blame but, because this is ~best of all possible worlds, there's no problem at all.
Recently I have been travelling through northern Kurdistan, and have met with Kurdish people from all different kinds of backgrounds. They told countless stories of the current systematic oppression and repression they face – especially from the Turkish state –, as well as a history full of massacres.
Destruction and exploitation of the nature – such as unlawful forest cutdowns, sacrificing zones for mining companies and fires – is one of the many tools used as part of the continuous attacks against the Kurds. This often leads to devastation of local communities and biodiversity as well as forced displacement. Erasure of culture and identity, state violence, political prisoners, forced displacement, ecocides and disappearances are just some examples of the discrimination people face on an everyday basis, as well as being denied the right to self determination and freedom.
To build genuine bridges of solidarity in Turkey, autonomy and self-governance for Kurdish regions are essential. The Kurdish people deserve the right to shape their own lives, culture, and communities.
Turkey must clarify its stance on the Kurds and other minority groups by enshrining their rights in the constitution. The government continues to use “terrorism” as a pretext to silence its political opponents. Tens of thousands of politically active individuals remain imprisoned without fair trials. International organizations such as the ECHR, UN, and Amnesty have condemned this and call for their release.
For a sustainable peace and a just future, the Kurds’ right to freedom and autonomy must be respected and the violent attacks against Kurdistan must end.
No one is free until everyone is free. Bijî Kurdistan!
