🇵🇸 Happening right now in Malmö, Sweden.

A huge crowd of pro-Palestine protests have gathered ahead of tonight's Eurovision semi-final in Malmö, where Israel will be one of the participating countries.

Israel's representing artist, Eden Golan—who was initially supposed to perform tonight with the song "October Rain," before the EBU forced Israel to rewrite it into the little less overtly genocidal "Hurricane"—has promised that the first thing she'll do after returning from Eurovision, is to join the IDF:

Reminder again to BOYCOTT EUROVISION 🇵🇸

And if you're in Malmö, please join the protesters!

There are snipers on the roofs

Eurovision would rather see snipers and massive protests than kick out the genocidal apartheid state

Israel is now bombing 1.7 million civilians trapped in Rafah, threatening an imminent invasion of the last “safe place” in Gaza.

Israel is committing the worst crimes in modern history, and Western regimes are calling it “self-defense”.

Never forget. Never forgive.

I'm not an Eurovision fan myself, but since the time of the year is aproaching, just a lil' reminder: Eurovision declared they would not stop Israel from participating this year because "Eurovision is an apolitical music festival" (but for some reason it took them the blink of an eye to ban Russia when the war with Ukraine started)

Just a few days ago, as the song Israel pretended to submit was revealed and it proved to be nothing but political propaganda, Eurovision asked Israel to change to another song since it would contradict their "apolitical status". Israel aparently has threatened with not participating if they are not allowed to play their song "October Rain" (the fucking audacity)

No matter what, I would recomend to boycott Eurovision by contacting your countries respective radio-television organizations to tell them you are against your country participating if Israel is not kicked out, and not watch the show at all

Unfriendly reminder to boycott Eurovision, since Israel has presented a different song and the committee has approved it.

Once again, they had no qualms to expel Russia once they started invading Ukraine.

Records say in 2 years (730 days) 31k UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS have died in the war.

Meanwhile +30k PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS have been killed by Israel in about 150 days, meaning Israel has killed as many Palestinian civilians as Russia has killed Ukrainian soldiers in about 1/4 of the time.

And still, Eurovision claims to be an apolitical music festival.

Since we are fast aproaching 7th may with Eurovision 2024 airing, I come once more to remind you: After 205 days and almost 35000 civilians killed by the Israel Ocupation Forces, Israel is still part of the countries participating in Eurovision 2024

Do not watch the show. Tell your friends not to watch it. If your country participates, write to your country's respective broadcaster to make your discontent and disappointment at Israel participating in the contest.
