Accusing Palestinians of being self-centered Americans. That definitely doesn't make you look racist.
Don't bother thinking for a second this person isn't aware that they're strawmanning and lying out of their ass. They later accuse 'leftists of claiming Jews control the media' when that's the exact opposite of the basis for the claim, even if we take their replacement of Israel with 'Jews' at face value. The basis of the statement 'Israel uses American events as a distraction' fundamentally means they are not in control of the media, they are waiting for the right moment to maximize damage while the cameras are turned away. They're not in control of the media they're using it opportunistically. But yeah it's a strawman, it's not supposed to make sense it's just supposed to make you agree with it without thinking about the actual argument which they cannot refute. Here's a compilation of massacres committed by the zionist occupation that coincide with major world news events that helped serve as a cover, courtesy of @fairuzfan.
Anyways. If someone is getting this aggressive about talking points Palestinians have engaged in for years concerning the means the occupation uses to massacre us, they are not just a zionist but a violent one at that. This person is nothing less than a genocidal freak who seeks nothing more than to silence Palestinians as we are being murdered en masse.
boycotting eurovision is not simply about israeli participation. you have to understand that, the presenting sponsor of eurovision is moroccan oil, an israeli brand. israel’s money is all over eurovision. i keep seeing people hoping for israel to be banned from participating, but lbr it’s never going to happen. i’ve seen people post evidence of israel having paid advertising telling people to vote for them etc. the whole show is israeli propaganda and i am begging you not to watch it and to keep your eyes on gaza tonight, keep your eyes on rafah
Translation: What a shitshow. This years Eurovision has gone to hell. And it's first and foremost the EBU's fault.
Also, excerpt from the same article:
Throughout the course of the Eurovision Song Contest, the EBU has acted as if they live in a parallel universe. Eurovision is one thing, the world outside something else. The EBU has stuck its head in the sand. Shoved the problem under the rug. Held their hands over their ears and shouted LALALALALA. They appear to have done everything they can to pretend it's possible to hold an apolitical event in a world that's on fire. We have come together to be "united by music", they say, but the sharpshooters on Malmö's rooftops have nothing to do with us!
In its struggle to remain apolitical, the EBU has become like a small fascist state in itself, where the artists' space for expression and action has been reduced as much as the undergarments of the Spanish dancers.
It is reprehensible.
hey reminder to continue boycotting eurovision and instead turn your eyes on gaza where the last media outlet al jazeera has just been shut down so that Israel can launch its attack on the most densely populated area in the world without scrutiny. Dont stop talking about Palestine
🇵🇸 From the second ESC semi-final: man waves a small Palestinian flag during Israel's performance, and is immediately escorted out by security
I've seen people try to excuse this by saying there's always been a list of approved flags for Eurovision.
And yes, while it's true that ESC has had an official flag policy for years now—with nation flags either limited to those with UN status, or to participating countries—it's also something that has only been selectively enforced in the past, and never which the kind of hostility we're seeing in Malmö right now.
The first time I remember hearing about the Eurovision flag policy was in 2016, when a Semi artist was representing Norway. The Norwegian broadcaster of ESC, NRK, reported then that the Semi flag was "technically" banned from the ESC arena, but that, according to ESC's the former head of communications, it would be up to the security at the arena whether they enforced this ban or not:
The music competition's rules state that it is only permitted to use flags from the participating countries, from countries that have previously participated, or from countries that are full members of the UN.
It is therefore not allowed to wave the Sami flag when Agnete goes on stage on 14 May in Stockholm.
- Technically speaking, that is correct, as the Sami flag is not part of the UN or is represented in the Eurovision Song Contest. I understand that the question can arouse emotions as Agnete has Sami roots, says Paul Jordan, communications manager for the Eurovision Song Contest to Sameradion in Sweden
When asked what might happen if the public shows up with a Sami flag during the competition, the communications manager says that it will be up to the doormen to decide.
- Technically, it is not allowed according to the current rules. Right now I don't know what would have happened at the entrance. Technically, it can be confiscated, but I cannot guarantee that, says Jordan to Sameradion.
I could write several paragraphs about just how revolting it is that the Sami flag was even banned to begin with (they reverted it the same year, after months of backlash), but the point I want to drive home right now is that there is nothing "apolitical" about the EBU's flag policy, or the way it is enforced.
Thank you all for your continued support. We achieved a very important goal, which was the cost of living for the first months upon our arrival. I increased the goal so that I could buy a new computer and go back to my job (graphic designer) after my house was bombed and all my devices at home were destroyed. This is what my office looks like. In my house before the bombing. I appreciate your continued support for us ❤️

i dunno something about this hellsite is just very... white. like, when i think of tumblr collectively it's very white people
Like the music taste. Collectively, a lot of distaste for rap and blues and jazz. Lotta fandom racism. There's not a lot about making queer poc visible compared to all the stuff about white queers. Black have literally gotten banned for being black and being against oppressing black people.
and i know a lot of poc on here. i follow them. we interact. but that's not what im talking about. i dont know how to explain further. cope.
Y'all need to read the hunger games again. Because the met gala and Eurovision being draped in million dollar extravagances and televised internationally while children are starved to death in Palestine is capitol level shit. We have a responsibility to be a witness.
We looked inside some of the posts by
