Staying up late hoping for the #auroraborealis to come back... (no luck so far and might have to give up soon) but glad to hear that #Switzerland :blobcat_flagEnby: has won #eurovision (and not, for example, a country currently engaged in genocide who should definitely have been banned if only the #ebu weren't cowardly hypocrites)
If it "would not be appropriate" for #Netherlands to take part in #eurovision while an investigation by the Swedish police is taking place, why exactly is it just fine for a certain other country to take part while an investigation by the ICC is taking place?
I'm not saying that threatening production crew members is fine; it's just really not on the same level as War Crimes and Genocide though, is it, #ebu?

There are no family dinners in Gaza because Israel is bombing them to extinction
There are no lectures in Gaza because Israel is bombing them to extinction
There are no front doors to keep the bad out in Gaza because Israel is bombing them to extinction
There are no water in Gaza because Israel is bombing them to extinction
There are no food in Gaza because Israel is bombing them to extinction
There are no electricity in Gaza because Israel is bombing them to extinction
Soon there will be no life in Gaza because Israel is bombing them to extinction
Yes, Hamas hurt people, including civilians, with their attack. But after years of settler occupation, being pushed from their home, watching their olive trees be destroyed, it was certainly not a surprise.
Israel has backed the indigenous people of this land up against a wall, they have an ocean on one side and bombed roads and blockades surrounding them as more bombs rain down every minute.
This is genocide. This is ethic cleansing. And while Palestinians in the Gaza strip are cut off from the rest of the world, after Israel shut off their power, cut off their access to food, their access to water, they are dying with limited ability to tell the world about what's happening to them.
When this is over, when the dust settles and Israelis build new homes and stores over the unmarked graves of the people in the Gaza strip, are you even going to notice? Are you going to care at all?
But no, right, let's focus on how sad the settlers are.
I find it very odd that there has been so much Look At All The Good Things Biden Did articles being passed around right now when he is getting, rightfully, criticized for backing Israel while Palestine is actively being genocided.
Yes, biden and his administration have done some good things. I'm not saying he hasn't. But it's very telling that everyone wants to talk about all the good he's been doing now all of a sudden when he's doing something Very Not Good That We Should All Be Talking About
