Tulin jakamaan videon joka on informatiivinen siinä minkälainen israel on ollut aikaisemmin euroviisuissa ja miksi se pitäisi ottaa samalla tavalla pois euroviisuista kuin venäjäkin. Videon tekijä on tehnyt google docsin kaikista paikallisista kanavista, jotka on yhteistyössä euroviisujen kanssa, joihinka me voidaan ottaa yhteyttä!!!! Jakakaa tätä tietoo eteenpäin, jotta saadaan enemmän eurooppalaisia tietoseks!!

Eng:

There's a video that I found which is explaining how Israel has been in past years of Eurovision and why it should be banned just like Russia. It also mentions about the local broadcasters that support Eurovision and how WE can take contact to them and let them know we want Israel to be banned from Eurovision. I'd be glad if this video was spread around to Europeans that are able to contact their local broadcasters and let them know your voice!

The European Parliament voted 324-155, with 38 abstentions, to condemn the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade and demand that abortion rights be enshrined in the EU’s fundamental rights charter.

Why It Matters: The Supreme Court's decision last month to end federal protections for abortion was widely denounced by world leaders and human rights organizations.

• In the wake of the ruling, lawmakers in  Israel and France have taken steps to shore up their domestic protections for abortion.

The Big Picture: In the resolution, European MEPs expressed their solidarity with American women and girls and called for the U.S. Congress to pass federal protections for abortion, according to a European Parliament press release.

• The resolution called for EU countries to provide "safe, legal and free abortion services, pre-natal and maternal healthcare services, voluntary family planning, youth-friendly services, and HIV prevention, treatment and support, without discrimination."

What They're Saying: "The United States has clearly shown why we must use every tool available to safeguard abortion rights in the European Union,” said Stéphane Séjourné, the president of the liberal Renew Europe group in the EU Parliament, AP reported.

• “It teaches us a lesson: Women’s and girls’ human rights can never be taken for granted, and we must always fight to defend them,” Helene Fritzon, a Swedish politician who is vice president of a parliamentary alliance of Socialists and Democrats, added, per AP.

degrowth feels almost like the guilty consciouness of americans and europeans who have truly had it too good too long and you know it ehe but im sorry dude you cannot be fr telling the rest of the world to cut emissions or industrial activity when it barely fucking exists here while you reap the benefits of it all. when development has been cut short and actively prevented in so many places like my home so you mfs can have it easy and not have to compete w us for our own resources. degrowth is suicide for us and mass murder for you. you want degrowth so bad? kill yourself! just kill yourself. do your part or whatever and hopefully well do our part here attempting to make this shithole country better even if it costs us carbon emissions or whatever. as if we werent held back from it at every turn and as if every time weve tried america or canada or europe hasnt swept in to take everything weve produced for themselves.

#m #this is in part kind of an emotional reaction i iwill admit but like #doesnt it seem deeply unfair to you that the us and europe can partake in cheap energy fuel food etc for like a good fat century #at our expense and the moment they see oh hey that actually might come bck to bite us they decide no one else gets to have it that good any #-anymore bc of mistakes they did and egregious extractivism and war so they can have everything they need for cheap #making it harder and harder for the countries they loot and pillage to ever get anywhere near that level of development. its incredible #it just goes on and on and on the wars and the embargos and trade bans and the pseudo green bullshit to excuse themselves

Is this a cat with the fucking russian tricolor on Belarus knees or am I hallucinating?

It was August 2023 already, and yet they still dare to post Belarus loving russia? After so many Belaruthians were killed by russians? After so many Belaruthians are being tortured and raped in prisons by russians and the prorussian regime? I want to crucify Himaruya, I hate him so fucking much, the way he sucks russian dick is unbelievable. Although, what else could we expect from a guy who draws Italy in Mussolini shirt. Well, come on, draw Belarus with moustache and a nazi cross, don't be shy, go on!

#Belarus #беларускі тамблер #hetalia #hws belarus #aph belarus #anything Himaruya draws is automatically unvalid #he's banned in Eastern Europe.

Guess I need to vent about this still because I see literally no one talk about it and I still need to process is and this is as good a place as any

My partner (US citizen) and I (French citizen) wanted to watch Glass Onion as our New Year’s Eve movie on our last remote-date-over-the-computer of the year.

Except Glass Onion starts with US people going to Greece for fun “during the pandemic”, a time where not only Greece would be full of cops enforcing lockdown or restrictions which I didn’t see shit of in the movie, but also, and especially... Back then, Greek people, just like a lot of people from European countries, were banned from entry to the US as a follow-up to COVID-19 restrictions.

From March 2020 to November 2021, Greek people, alongside a lot of European people, were banned from entry to the US, and for a good amount of that time US people could just go to those countries whenever they felt like for fun.

I was unable to visit my partner for almost 2 years due to that, and my partner couldn’t come visit me as much, despite coming from “the right side” that WAS allowed to come in, because they didn’t have as many days off.

Glass Onion didn’t address that for shit, made the destination some kind of punchline I guess, triggered a huge trauma and left us both crying for hours on New Year’s Eve before we could even press on.

I’m sure this movie has a ton of great things, like gay rep, power dynamics across races, and other things that it probably addressed brilliantly because it mattered to US audiences. But it also basically spat on the heartbreak and hardship of millions of Europeans during the pandemic, didn’t give a shit and didn’t address it for shit, and I can’t forgive it, or anyone from the US who IS in a position to address this but doesn’t, and is the reason so many US people don’t even know that cruel, overly-long ban was a thing.

...So yeah for your culture ig

I’ll go back to posting ace comic soon I promise, I just needed this out of my system

not to sound completely ignorant but i hate when other americans preach about living in the land of the free but then go and say “arabs ban americans and christians from entering their country, why can’t we ban them from entering ours?” because i thought it was the land of the free, i thought we’re “better” and so much more “accepting” of other cultures unlike those “dirty third world countries”. americans fucking love preaching about freedom and being the best country in the world until it’s time to show an ounce of compassion for anyone that isn’t white. “we hate fascist countries! that’s why our country is allowed to practice any fascist ideology we want because other countries don’t like us 😎” the double fucking standard

#also the idea that christians don’t live in the middle east is fucking laughable #this is a huge problem in europe too like with the dutch politician trying to ban mosques

Regulus likes to write with his headphones on, noise cancellation on, no music. when he does listen to music, it's with a really crusty old pair of wired headphones (i'm projecting) because the stores don't sell wired ones anymore and he refuses to buy airpods.

Pandora listens to the last thing you would've ever expected upon looking at her, some sort of aggressive instrumental hiphop, Phonk Walker or something like that. She always manages to hum along anyway.

Barty listens to crappy pop music with zero shame, blasted on his massive ass sticker-covered soundbox whenever they're cleaning the dorm. The more you complain the worse it gets. (also, number one britney spears fan). got into måneskin before eurovision and never misses an excuse to rub it in dorcas' face.

Evan listens to classical music, volume high enough for it to be outright absurd. he knows too much about the artist and WILL infodump morbid stories about them when it's least expected. will get into the wildest shit, running from the police with ridiculously loud classical playing in his headphones and barty grinning and panting next to him (they're sharing the music, barty has Zero clue what they're listening to but he shamelessly pretends he does)

Dorcas is a pop/softrock girlie and gives the Best music recs. she will FIGHT for that music control on a roadtrip (and win, she's the only one who can get a hold of barty lol). she likes tina turner and some whitney houston and fleetwood mac. discovered måneskin via eurovision and is so unbothered by barty teasing her for it. her fav album is il ballo della vita.

#barty and dorcas are cronically fighting over the music #they're the only two in the group who aren't permanently banned from the driver's seat #so one of them evidently has to be the one behind the wheel #pandora gets car sick so she's tugged inbetween reg and ev so she can look out the front window (while miserably singing along to the music #regulus either is asleep or looking melancholically out the window no in-between #evan has been staring straight out into the air without blinking for the past thirty minutes #before randomly blurting out the most wild ass take on human sacrifice in medieval europe #the front of the car is literally vibrating from the speakers. barty is rapping in italian and Dorcas is headbanging behind the wheel #and supplying adlibs #meanwhile everyone one the back seat looks like they've been through minimum three divorces each #'SIP THE GOSSIP DRINK TILL YOU CHOKEEE~' 'whuw!'

BRUSSELS — Today, the Belgian Federal government’s Council of Ministers approved a legislative proposal for a ban on the import of hunting trophies of endangered animal species, put forth by Zakia Khattabi, Minister of Climate, the Environment, Sustainable Development and Green Deal.

The Minister’s preliminary draft bill follows the Federal Parliament of the Kingdom of Belgium’s unanimous vote in March 2022 in support of a resolution demanding that the government put the brakes on the issuance of trophy import permits for a broad array of threatened and endangered species.

This resolution protects species such as the hippopotamus, Southern white rhinoceros, African savannah elephant, lion, polar bear and argali sheep killed for sport.

The scope of the resolution also extends to all species listed in Annex A, along with certain species in Annex B of the European Regulation 338/97 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora.

Member of Parliament Kris Verduyckt (Vooruit, Flemish Socialists), initiator of the legislative proposal to ban hunting trophy imports in 2020 and proposer of the aforementioned resolution, said:

“I am glad that this hard work is paying off. Minister Khattabi is now fully translating my proposal into a bill and the entire Council of Ministers approves it.

It’s time we really started protecting endangered species. Trophy hunters prefer to kill the largest and strongest animals, the loss of which contributes to the disruption and decline of animal populations.”

The European office of animal protection charity Humane Society International, a long-time vocal advocate against the import of endangered species’ trophies, lauded the government’s decision.

Ruud Tombrock, executive director for HSI/Europe said:

“We welcome the fact that the unanimous resolution of Parliament has been translated into a legislative measure and look forward to studying the details of the legislation once published.

Belgium is leading the way for other countries in Europe already listening to calls from their citizens to consign the import of hunting trophies to history.

The next step should be an EU-wide ban on the import of hunting trophies from endangered and protected species, again reflecting the views of citizens across member states in the European Union.”

Over the past 16 months, HSI/Europe has worked with MPs to ensure that the unanimous resolution of Parliament was translated into legislation.

Today’s approval is the culmination of this campaign.

MPs from different political parties have maintained pressure on Environment Minister Khattabi.

A recent response to a parliamentary question from MP Jan Briers (CD&V, Flemish Christian democrats) revealed that the Ministry had only stopped issuing permits for importing animal trophies since mid-March 2023, a delay which outraged many MPs.

This landmark decision by the Belgian government echoes the strongly held views of its people.

A 2020 survey by Ipsos commissioned by HSI/Europe showed that 91% of Belgians oppose trophy hunting and 88% support a prohibition on importing any kind of hunting trophy at all.

This sentiment is not limited to Belgium but is resonating across the European continent.

A 2023 pan-European poll conducted by Savanta in all 27 EU Member States on behalf of HSI/Europe laid bare the widespread public rejection of trophy hunting.

A striking 83% of respondents stood firm against this practice, with just 6% in favor.

The vast majority is expecting strong measures to be taken against trophy hunting, with a compelling majority (74%) rallying behind a national import ban and similar support for an EU-wide ban (73%).

These survey results underscore a profound and growing public concern across Europe, spotlighting the urgency and importance of wildlife conservation and the protection of threatened species.

Today, Belgium has echoed the urgent European call to action against trophy hunting, joining the ranks of countries like the Netherlands, France and Finland, which have each implemented various degrees of bans and restrictions on the practice of import of hunting trophies.

Momentum against trophy hunting is accelerating across the continent, with nations including the UK, Germany, Italy, and Poland now also involved in active discussions to impose bans at varying stages of progress.

Facts on trophy hunting:

• The Netherlands introduced a trophy hunting ban for more than 200 species in May 2016 on the Annex A of European Regulation 338/97, on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein, and of species in danger of extinction.

The import ban also applies to the following Annex B species: white rhinoceros, hippopotamus, African elephant, mouflon (wild sheep from the Caucasus), lion and polar bear.

A total of 200 animal species are affected by the import licenses ban.

• France implemented a ban on the import of lion-hunting trophies in 2015.

In 2023, a Bill proposal for registration aimed at “stopping the issuance of import permits for hunting trophies of certain endangered species was tabled.

•The import of hunting trophies into Finland is restricted since June 2023.

The new Nature Conservation Act includes a provision that prohibits the import of individual animals or their parts from the most endangered species worldwide, which are threatened by international trade as trophies from countries outside the EU.

• In the United Kingdom in March 2023, British lawmakers approved a ban on the import of animal hunting trophies covering 6,000 endangered species, which makes it one of the toughest in the world.

The legislation is now being debated in the House of Lords.

• In Germany, the Minister of the Environment, Steffi Lemke (The Greens), announced that she intends to restrict the import of hunting trophies from protected animal species.

Germany terminated the Country’s membership in the International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation (CIC) in 2022.

• In Italy in 2022, a bill aimed at banning the import, export and re-export, to and from Italy, of hunting trophies obtained from animals that are protected by CITES, was presented.

After the fall of the government and the elections in 2023, the same bill was tabled again in parliament.

• In Poland, a bill sponsored by the deputy chairperson of the Sejm, the lower chamber of the parliament, reached committee stage discussion this month and is scheduled for further progress in August 2023.

• Trophy hunting of endangered species poses a severe threat to conservation efforts and the world’s natural heritage.

Trophy hunters prefer to kill the largest, strongest animals, whose loss causes declines in population.

The affected species, such as African elephants, lions, rhinoceros, and leopards, among others, are already facing the risk of extinction and play crucial roles in maintaining healthy ecosystems and biodiversity.

The loss of these iconic animals not only disrupts delicate ecological balances but also erodes cultural and historical significance.

Many species play important roles in their ecosystems. Their removal can have cascading effects on other wildlife, vegetation, and the overall health of the ecosystem.

• The EU is the second biggest importer of hunting trophies after the United States, as indicated in a report by Humane Society International/Europe from 2021, with an average of 3000 trophies imported in the period between 2014 and 2018.

• The top 10 species imported into the EU as trophies are:

Hartmann’s mountain zebra (Equus zebra hartmannae) (3.119), Chacma baboon (1.751), American black bear (Ursus americanus) (1.415), brown bear (1.056), the African elephant (952), African lion (Panthera leo) (889), African leopard (Panthera pardus) (839), hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) (794), caracal (Caracal caracal) (480), and red lechwe (Kobus leche) (415).

• The EU was the largest importer of cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) trophies with 297 cheetah trophies imported into the EU during the study period.

• Belgium is the 13th largest hunting trophy importer of internationally protected species in Europe

• Shortly before the vote of the resolution last year, Animal Rights Belgium, another organisation campaigning against the import of hunting trophies in Belgium, delivered a petition with 37,000 signatures supporting the ban to the Federal Environment Minister, Zakia Khattabi.
