I am in a total state about the state of the world. This bloody Eurovision weekend- Israel getting full points in the popular vote from UK, Germany and many more, right whilst it is launching the worst yet on Rafah - is doing my head in. Reading this timeline - Netanyahu’s, Cameron’s awful statements- is doing my head in. Most of all, the awful suffering in #Gaza, and the majority of nice liberal centrists really not caring - it is unbearable.
And yes - here, too the sun is shining, it’s the weekend, I am happy the children are happy and I am getting sustenance and joy from small things. And I will not shout here anymore for rest of today. But i feel all this needs to be said. This is surely one of the worst, worst things (the horrendous bloodshed and suffering everday, the horrendous complicity) we have lived through.
@pvonhellermannn They won the popularity contest. Eurovision is always a sign of the times. Political and otherwise.
Israel just does a great job at sectoring it’s output. The nice intellectuals are your friends, representing in english. While the toxic message that gets spread by their far right is entirely in Hebrew.
