I understand that people in the US just now becoming aware of the Palestinian issue can't be expected to know that much because even reading can't really give you an idea or the total Israeli kayfabe for media and academia of the last 30 years. It was actually surreal you literally could not say anything. The absolute most you could do was bothsidesism and even then people acted like that was ridiculous

with bds calling for an official boycott of eurovision, one of the things they have asked is for “supporters to launch creative, strategic initiatives that can pressure broadcasters to withdraw” and so i encourage all those whose countries are participating in eurovision to find out how to contact your national broadcaster to make a complaint. for those living in countries who dont broadcast eurovision i know u can still send a complaint to the bbc if ur outside the uk for one

this is the message i have been sending, feel free to translate it/use it as a template/improve it/etc:

Dear sir/ma'am,

In 2022, following the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine, pressure was applied to the Eurovision Song Contest to bar Russia from competing that year and all years since. It was widely rightfully agreed that the invasion was worthy of strong condemnation and that Russia should be given no avenues to rehabilitate its public image.

In October 2023, the state of Israel began a military campaign against the people of the already occupied Gaza Strip in Palestine. In a disproportionate, atrocious response to the Hamas attack on the 7th of October 2023, Israeli forces have murdered over 30,000 Palestinians and displaced almost 2 million from their homes. Palestinian civilians (journalists and doctors included), entirely unaffiliated with the Hamas party Israel claims to target, have been targeted and killed indiscriminately. Stripped of basic necessities like food, water and electricity by Israel, with intent vocalised by multiple Israeli forces to eliminate Gaza and the Palestinian people, this is no less than a genocide.

Thus Israel, much like Russia, should not be permitted to compete in a contest that has been used repeatedly to maintain its pristine public image while it brutally oppresses Palestine. Especially when it has been charged with genocide explicitly by South Africa, a case that took place in the ICJ, thoroughly elucidating the crimes committed by the Israeli state, a charge agreed upon by several countries and genocide scholars alike.

The BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement has called for a complete boycott of Eurovision by broadcasters, artists and viewers and I ask that the BBC comply with this - abstain from broadcasting the Eurovision Song Contest and withdraw this years entry to the contest.

Thank you.

200,000 being the actual amount of dead as calculated by Ralph Nadar seems obvious especially since when the food and water blockade initially happened those were the numbers experts were predicting but to really think about it is just unfathomable. Almost quarter million most not because of bombs but because of disease and starvation. Entire bloodlines gone. I remember 2014 it was I think 50 something bloodlines erased in the bombing of gaza and it was horrifying but now whole families dying because they have no food

elon musk is legitimately one of the worst human beings alive. i woke up at 3.17am to pray for his demise so hard my left eye is bloodshot this morning. and i hope he's so ruined by the time he gets to the other side he doesn't have a single coin to pay Charon his fare and has to roam the banks of the river styx for a thousand years as a restless and tortured speck 🙏🏾

incarcerated people are shutting down Alabama prisons and asking for your solidarity

Alabama prisons are the deadliest and most crowded prisons in the US. Their violence extends to gas chamber executions and illegal organ harvesting. The Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC) is currently facing two federal lawsuits: one for enslaving Black detainees by denying them parole and leasing out their forced labor and another for targeting strike organizers. ADOC rakes in more than $450 million annually in profits from forced labor, and that's not including the profits incarcerated people generate for private corporations such as McDonald's and Raytheon. In response to these abuses, and in particular the horrific beating of six handcuffed detainees by Lt. Edmonds at Donaldson Prison on February 24th, the Free Alabama Movement (FAM) has organized a minimum 90-day statewide prison shutdown/work stoppage. They are calling on supporters outside the prison walls to show solidarity. If you're located in or around Alabama, show up to the protest at St. Clair Prison in Springville, AL on Saturday March 2nd. For rideshare coordination contact the Tennessee Student Solidarity Network on IG or by email: [email protected] "Outside support for us starts at the prisons. That's where we need people. Come to one of the protests, show your face, and tell us that you support us. That's how we know that you support us. Outside support is the first step." - FAM

Everyone in the US, call Donaldson Prison at [phone] and ask them to fire Lt. Edmonds for his brutal violence against incarcerated people.

why does this potentially being true matter to you more than what he killed himself for, what he punished himself for participating in, what he was begging other people to care about as he lay on the ground fading away. sorry to be angry about this but this entire genocide has brung out some of the worst sides of tumblr i’ve seen and thats saying something bc i’ve been here for years
