Iceland, Ireland, Netherlands, Slovenia, and Spain
Countries for which genocide is not a deal breaker:
Albania, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany (2nd largest arms dealer of the genocide behind the US; historic fan of genocides), Greece, Israel (our good friends who are carrying out the genocide), Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Montenegro, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, and United Kingdom.
Israel’s genocide isn’t just murdering Palestinians en masse, it’s also destroying any semblance of morality or ethics the West might have purported to possess. International law? Bullshit. European values? Trash. Western democracy? A joke.
“The EU’s most senior diplomat, Kaja Kallas, said the bloc would keep ‘options on the table’ to pressure Israel’s government if there was no improvement in the ‘catastrophic’ humanitarian situation in Gaza. According to several diplomatic sources she did not endorse any one of 10 sanctions options drawn up by her team, after an earlier EU review found ‘indications’ Israel was in breach of human rights commitments.”
I’ve unfollowed so many people and there’s still more carefree #eurovision chatter showing up on my timeline. It’s gonna be a long night. A genocide? What? Shh! We’re trying to have fun here!
You can’t even boycott entertainment to show solidarity with a people facing genocide as we speak? Entertainment with an entry by and whose main sponsor is a company from the country committing the genocide?
Only one thing on everyone’s mind? The genocide being carried out by Israel against the Palestinian people? No? Oh, a song contest sponsored by Israel that Israel is using to whitewash its genocide. Ah, my bad, sorry.
@eunews Another useless appeal. Come back when they implement internal law and sanctions. Until than, the countries that still have agreements and trade with Israel are complicit in Israeli war crimes and genocide.
Call out every fucker enjoying #Eurovision and posting about it as if there isn’t a fucking genocide being carried out right fucking now by the fucking country that these fuckers have rolled out the red carpet for and voted into the final.
Fuck you for putting your entertainment over the lives of the Palestinian people.
You fuckers are the reason these things are still allowed happen.
Eurovision is all about love and acceptance. Which is why you’re not allowed pride flags but you can bring the flag of a country that’s committing genocide. It begs the question: what is being loved and accepted?
True. If this sort of thing happens in your so-called “first world” country, you should feel a profound sense of shame about it. It shows that your society is failing.
With the levels of wealth and technology we have in countries like Ireland, having homelessness is a choice. We’ve chosen cruelty. We’ve said we’re ok with it. So yes, we should definitely be feeling ashamed.
You know who is the last person who should feel ashamed? A homeless person whom we have failed as a society.
"Autocrats are most destructive when they enjoy high levels of popular support: Politicians like Putin or Chávez sometimes have or have had 70 or 80 percent support. Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, on the other hand, was able to do much less damage because he lacked this backing. And Trump is not a popular president."
