Can we get this trending?
#BanIsraelFromEurovision
Or we will
#BoycottEurovision
If they want to set a precedent by banning Russia, let’s hold them to account—otherwise it’s just more racism.
WOW!
@Theintercept reviewed more than 12000 print articles and 5000 TV segments to check for biases on Israel-Palestine.
I thought it would be bad.
I had no idea it was THIS bad.
No wonder Gaza killed what little credibility mianstream media had.
In NYT, Israel's right to defend itself was invoked 99 times. Only once for Palestine.
On CNN and MSNBC, it was invoked 755 times for Israel. But only 8 times for Palestine.
Emotive words such as slaughter and massacre were used frequently when Israelis had been killed. They were NEVER used in print when Palestinians were killed.
In Ukraine, 262 children were killed in the war, and it was mentioned 4223 times.
In Palestine, more than 10,000 children were killed, but it was mentioned only 3632.
The full article is in the subtweet. It's a MUST READ:
The press release mentioned: https://t.co/FhrzRYyBE6
260+ journalists were killed by Israel in both indiscriminate air-strikes and targeted killings.
The EBU performatively use their names, but still refuse to name their killers.
An insult to their memories.
President Isaac Herzog is considered one of the more 'leftwing' political figures in Israel. Here he is rewriting international law by engaging in openly genocidal rhetoric against the Palestinians in Gaza:
'It's an entire nation out there that is responsible. It's not true this rhetoric about civilians were not aware, not involved. It's absolutely not true.'
This should be no surprise. Zionism's logic of Jewish supremacism always left its proponents with a limited set of choices towards the Palestinians: either a mixed model of ethnic cleansing and apartheid, or a mixed model of ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Gaza *was* the ethnic cleansing-apartheid option: the Palestinians were herded into an open-air prison and stripped of their rights. Like the Bantustans of apartheid South Africa.
Now that Israelis see the ethnic cleansing-apartheid model has failed them – it hasn't given them 'quiet', as they call it – they are recalibrating towards genocide.
Which is why the dial is moving so fast. The only relevant question is whether the Western powers will allow, or even aid, Israel in carrying out genocidal policies. So far, the omens aren't looking good.
While X classifies accounts like @MaxBlumenthal, @aaronjmate, and @normfinkelstein as "Hate and Harassment" - suppressing them as much as 90% - you'll be SHOCKED to find out that NOT ONE pro-Israel account is treated in this manner, no matter how outrageous their posts are.
Let's check out a few:
@Ostrov_A (Arsen Ostrovsky): No Violations, +90% to +95% boost
@VerminusM (Uri Kurlianchik): No Violations, +88% to +94% boost
@DahliaKurtz (Dahlia Kurtz): No Violations, +90% to +96% boost
@uricohenisrael (The Uri): No Violations, +90% to +96% boost
@DrCaseyBabb (Casey Babb): No Violations, +90% to +96% boost
@mishtal (David Collier): No Violations, +90% to +96% boost
@leekern13 (Lee Kern): No Violations, +90% to +96% boost
@AdinHaykin1 (Adin): No Violations, +90% to +96% boost
@StopAntisemites (Stop Antisemitism): No Violations, +90% to +96% boost
@Betar_USA (Betar Worldwide): No Violations, +70% to +90% boost
@MaxNordau (Max 📟): No Violations, +90% to +96% boost
Turns out being pro-genocide is the new Blue Check.
compare to Laura Loomer's account, which is considered "neutral" with "standard visibility" despite admitted strong anti Islam and anti Muslim rhetoric.
According to this, my X account it "severely" suppressed, by 82-88%. I don't know what "reply deboost" means exactly, but it doesn't sound good either.
This is what happens when Palestinians dare to call out the malignant Jewish narcissism ideology that has been slaughtering, robbing, and destroying our society wholesale for their colonial enterprise.
‘The Australian Parliament has passed a new hate crimes law that could potentially throw critics of Israel in prison for years, reports @unjoe in @Consortiumnews
‘The Australian Parliament has adopted a potentially nation-altering hate crimes bill that allows an intelligence agency and the government to collaborate in virtual secrecy to list “hate groups” whose members and supporters could be then imprisoned, according to the text of the law and to senators who voted against it in a late-night session on Tuesday.’

@random830@FaridYFarid@theACIJ@AlHaq@AlMezanCenter There is a very old saying in law:
"The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly"
That's what they're doing here. That's what everyone should do
Bombard police forces everywhere with every single thing they see or think of that possibly fits a "crime"
no mainstream media is telling you folks how bad it really is in Minneapolis. it feels like you guys think it’s hyperbole but no one I know is living in a normal way. normal life has stopped and everyone is afraid all of the time. not a little on edge, but deeply sad and afraid
Feel like this needs to be said again. Yes, the Zionist lobby is well established, resourced, and connected, but there is far too much emphasis on this and not enough on the fact that they give the racist status quo the excuse they want to "crack down" on us.
Why is Israel viewed as so essential to western elites that they are willing to be seen openly backing its genocide in Gaza? Because Israel is creating a vision of the near-future, it is developing the template for how they deal with surplus sections of western populations in a world of diminishing resources and an ever-more hostile climate.
And all the better for our rulers, any resistance on our part to the Palestinians’ enslavement and slow extermination – and to our own growing servitude and abuse – can be characterised as antisemitism. In outsourcing this project to Israel, western establishments have devised the ultimate cover story.

Petition · Israel out of Eurovision: SBS must oppose genocide, apartheid & illegal occupation! - Australia · https://t.co/uev0kRxykr https://t.co/83gVBYE4Md
Know why SBS is not boycotting Eurovision?
Two SBS Board members:
Vic Alhadeff OAM is a former Chair of Multicultural NSW AND the former CEO of the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies in Sydney.
The other Jewish board member is Christine Zeitz, who is also on the board of defence company Nova Systems, whose business partner is Elbit Systems out of Israel.
Here she is last year, while the genocide was in full flight as it still is.
Is that Richard Marles we see with her?
