One of my favorite things about the Palestinian resistance movement is the muisc that comes out of Gaza.
Everyone knows about Dammi Falastini. What you might not know is that the singer grew up in Gaza. Under israeli occupation. His skill should not be underestimated. He also sang for a lot of Palestinian resitant movements.
Speaking of Palestinian Resistance. Some of my favorite songs have come from them, mainly the PFLP (you can find a lot more of their songs here twitter.com/PalestineTunes and the specific song here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6iq4CyHuV4)
Reminder, these people were born into an open air prison. This skill should not be underestimated
just a reminder to COMPLETELY boycott Eurovision this year; Azerbaijan and Israel, despite committing genocide, are STILL allowed to compete & have NOT been banned. by refusing to ban both countries, Eurovision is profiting off of the genocide of Palestinians and Armenians.
do not listen to the artists. do not pirate or stream the artists' music, and this applies to ALL the artists who are competing and performing this year. do not listen to the songs on ANY platform, do not give them ANY attention.
write to your broadcasters and tell them you REFUSE to watch the channels until they recognise the Armenian and Palestinian genocides & that you find it disgusting how they are allowing Eurovision despite Azerbaijan and Israel's entries.
do NOT give eurovision OR the competing artists ANYTHING but silence.
I posted about Palestine on social media for years with zero interaction. No one wanted to talk about it and it has always seemed too far removed for americans to give a shit about.
So again I just want to remind people, it's never been like this before (in the us). This movement has always been here, but they can no longer bury it.
The fact that protests and boycotts have been sustained for going-on 6months, that's not nothing. This should be evidence to you that we can sustain the momentum, we must, and use this momentum for radical changes within ourselves, our habits, and our education.
