This is Rafah which the occupation army is preparing to enter and these small square-shaped plots are the tents of the displaced and they contain more than a million displaced people,reality on the ground is much worse than it appears from above,as there is no greater suffering..
Palestinians fleeing by sea:
On the day when the ‘Israeli state was born’, 15 May 1948, Palestinians had to flee Jaffa city by sea.
Our history is so hard! Oh God give us rest in the afterlife.
Shame on you Europe.
Free free Palestine!
Can you imagine everything you know and love burning to the ground like this while the culprit taunts you and the world closes its eyes and remains silent?
Speak up about Sudan.
List of people to follow to keep up with the Sudan crisis and the Darfur genocide.
I want to strangle Tim Cook and the next 15 people in line to be CEO at Apple for removing the headphone jack, I want to see the light leave their smug billionare eyes for making it commonplace for dumb shitheads to blast their attention span grating tiktok feed in public I want to cast anurysm on them I need to kill
in hindsight, it makes a lot of sense that macklemore would happily release a free palestine song that is AS balls-out anticapitalist and antiimperialist as it is, considering in 2011 he won a grammy with a song all about being poor and spending your money wisely while still being cool and looking fresh, bemoaning blind consumption.
it was a small domino to start with, sure, but the trail is there.
yes!
and that person just happened to be the person who is currently the most celebrated rapper in the world, Kendrick Lamar! he was apologizing for winning over Good Kid, M.a.a.d. City!
funny enough, he did NOT apologize to the other artists, and two of them are Drake and Kanye, which is EXTRA hilarious considering how well that decision also aged.
a lot of people are bringing up a very good point:
Macklemore has been an ally this whole fucking time, making whole songs dedicated to LGBT and BLM stuff. nobody ever talked shit about him for anything other than being uber-corny.
i think now that we're in the post-cringe era there's a lot of people remembering where we left him and thinking "oh fuck im so sorry white boy"
IE "hoo golly we sure found a shitload of scary data"
if there had been any way to frame the report advantageously we'd've had its bullet points screamed in our collective face for two weeks before official release
They released it on Friday afternoon. It's all like "Israel definitely did a bunch of war crimes with US weapons, but Anthony Blinken didn't personally witness it so they don't don't count and the real war crimes were the friends we made along the way and who can know? No change in policy."
"The finding of “reasonable” evidence to conclude that the U.S. ally had breached international law protecting civilians in the way it conducted its war against Hamas was the strongest statement that the Biden administration has yet made on the matter. It was released in a summary of a report being delivered to Congress on Friday.
But the caveat that the administration wasn't able to link specific U.S. weapons to individual attacks by Israeli forces in Gaza could give the administration leeway in any future decision on whether to restrict provisions of offensive weapons to Israel."
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
what a vile, reprehensible, irredeemable man
it sounds like a joke but literally so many of you would've been supportive of the vietnam invasion by america and would've accused draft dodgers and draft card burners of being divisive
i think regardless of generation or timeframe a deeply american problem is the inability to imagine a better world if the establishment tells you it cannot exist + a deeply self-centered idea of compassion where american citizens matter more than any other type of human being. we've been doing the oppositional "i'm good and whatever's against me is evil so i have no obligation to challenge my contemporaries" shit for literal centuries now and no amount of "i'm lgbt and it's 2024!" will divorce you from your attachment to oppressive regimes.
Translation: What a shitshow. This years Eurovision has gone to hell. And it's first and foremost the EBU's fault.
Also, excerpt from the same article:
Throughout the course of the Eurovision Song Contest, the EBU has acted as if they live in a parallel universe. Eurovision is one thing, the world outside something else. The EBU has stuck its head in the sand. Shoved the problem under the rug. Held their hands over their ears and shouted LALALALALA. They appear to have done everything they can to pretend it's possible to hold an apolitical event in a world that's on fire. We have come together to be "united by music", they say, but the sharpshooters on Malmö's rooftops have nothing to do with us! In its struggle to remain apolitical, the EBU has become like a small fascist state in itself, where the artists' space for expression and action has been reduced as much as the undergarments of the Spanish dancers. It is reprehensible.
Don't watch, don't vote.
this isn't the fucking US presidential election. there is no 'anti' israel vote, that's not how ESC works
and even if there somehow was a way we could all collectively vote to stop israel from winning, all we'd be doing is banding together to save eurovison's reputation and legitimacy. it would do nothing for palestine
if israel ends up winning, then that's EBU's problem, not ours
don't give these ghouls your money
That video of people booing en masse at the Israeli contestant at Eurovision is incredibly funny because like. That's alot of fucking people that gave their money to the event despite supposedly being pro Palestine. You'd genuinely have done like a million times more if you'd just staid at home and donated the money to a Palestinian charity instead lol
I am genuinely and truly begging of you to please boycott Eurovision tonight. Don’t watch it, don’t vote. Even if Israel wins. Let the EBU soak in their incompetence and inhumanity 🙏🙏🙏

More info from NRK (Norwegian media), 22. April 2024:
[...] The art student [Sørensen] has been active in the pro-Palestine movement for a long time. Following the sabotage, he's received support from the British action group Palestine Action, who published a picture of him when he was released from prison. "It's because of the horrible things that are happening in Palestine right now. It's the most fucked up thing I've ever seen in my life," Sørensen said. In November, FriFagbevegelse [Norwegian union paper] published an interview with the defense giant Lockheed Martin about the F-35 fighter jet that is being used in the war in Gaza. They are the ones who assemble the planes in the USA. "All F-35 fighters have parts made in Norway", they confirmed in an email to the newspaper. Norwegian authorities say it is forbidden to sell weapons to Israel. However, the sale of parts to the defense manufacturer Lockheed Martin, destined for the United States, is legal, because American export regulations then apply
For Europeans reading: your country, even if it has a ban on weapon exports to Israel, may similarly be aiding the genocide in Gaza "indirectly" through weapon exports to the US.
When someone brings up 10/7 to you let them know that genocide was not an appropriate response to those attacks and collective punishment is a war crime (FACT). The IDF could have ran special ops on Hamas, especially if they had intel that they were in the tunnels. They chose to kill innocent people, and won’t honor Hamas agreeing to a ceasefire. They invaded Rafah because the goal was extermination all along, 10/7 is their excuse. FREE 🇵🇸.
Benjamin Netanyahu is a WAR CRIMINAL and should only be referred to as such.
there is no where to evacuate to.
