boycotting eurovision is not simply about israeli participation. you have to understand that, the presenting sponsor of eurovision is moroccan oil, an israeli brand. israel’s money is all over eurovision. i keep seeing people hoping for israel to be banned from participating, but lbr it’s never going to happen. i’ve seen people post evidence of israel having paid advertising telling people to vote for them etc. the whole show is israeli propaganda and i am begging you not to watch it and to keep your eyes on gaza tonight, keep your eyes on rafah

do y’all remember usernames??? from back when every fuckin website didn’t need your email phone number home address social security number just to join/sign up for something?? when you could make website-specific accounts that weren’t linked to literally anything else??? they tried to boil us like a frog slowly switching to “username/email” and then just asking for your email. but I remember. I remember usernames.

BDS added this section to their boycott page and I think people really need to read it:
please remember, pushing unorganized boycotts without carefully fact-checking every company in the list can be actively HARMFUL to the boycott movement.
hope you don't mind me adding: here's a list from the website about which companies to target our boycotts at right now:

Anonymous asked:
Did the majority of Jewish people and institutions support Zionism pre-1948?
no, very far from it. i dont have time to give an in depth response, theres a lot of history here but ill give some bullet points
- some interpretations of judaism have always opposed a jewish state in any form and many jews were religiously against zionism from when it first started becoming a political movement
- (there are still a lot of religious jews who are anti zionist on religious grounds. the satmar hasidic dynasty is an example. this is separate from political groups like neturei karta)
- religious opposition to a jewish state was so strong that without zionism constituting itself as a specifically nationalist movement drawing on other 19th century nationalist movements it probably would not have become successful
- assimilated jews in europe, which herzl himself was, were divided on zionism. many assimilated middle class jews were liberal nationalists of their own countries and rejected zionism. many other european jews were socialists and rejected zionism as a form of nationalism and imperialism.
- among european jews who were generally poorer and more religious, zionism became more popular in response to the active extermination of jews in eastern europe. still, it was not the dominant belief in eastern europe. eastern european jews were very involved in socialist and radical movements, many specifically saw socialism as the only answer to european antisemitism. the jewish labor bund in particular espoused a type of anti zionist diaspora politics.
- most anti zionist and socialist jews, especially eastern european ones, especially the working class, were murdered. thats part of why its not so common anymore
- post-war and in the context of the red scare, american jewish institutions basically threw left wing anti zionist jews under the bus, let people lose their jobs and get blackmailed, and started focusing on relations with israel
there has always been jewish opposition to zionism both on religious and political grounds and it was a hotly debated topic and not something people agreed on. you can read more here

the gofundmes for helping people get out of Palestine fill me with rage because AT BEST what we're doing is helping people be displaced in the safest way available to them that is the most profitable to a) corrupt Egyptian officials and b) gofundme itself. I'm so fucking furious that this is what it's come to. the world has failed to stop the Zionist genocide machine so profoundly that donating to gofundmes that will ultimately line the pockets of corrupt officials and technocrats is the most effective way to save the lives of Palestinians. Palestinians are right to never forgive. Inshallah Palestine will be free and Israel's genocidal state will perish in this lifetime. Donate to Gaza Funds. Whatever you can spare.
