May 2024 - With Eurovision coming up, and the fascist state of Israel being allowed to pinkwash their genocide of the Palestinian people once again, let's remember Icelandic anti-capitalist band Hatari who showed their support for Palestine in 2019 when Eurovision was being held in Tel Aviv, and were fined for it (€5000,- lmao).
Later that same month they brought out the pro-Palestinian song Klefi / Samed (صامد) together with Palestinian artist Bashar Murad.

anyway, the BDS movement is calling for a boycott of Eurovision 2024!
I've been following how do we turn on the light? by @moonyinpisces for a while now and it didn't take me long to get OBSESSED!! One of the best fanfics out there, couldn't help doing a thing for the cover art contest ~
Highly recommend checking the fic out! I absolutely consider it canon until proven otherwise, this madness is exactly what I came here for
PLEASE boycott eurovision this year per BDS guidelines.
i currently can't fucking convince my dad not to and i feel fucking helpless but if i can get even one or two other people to boycott it that would be brilliant.
DO NOT listen to the participants' songs at all, do NOT stream the songs on ANY platforms. do NOT watch eurovision AT ALL. do NOT support eurovision in any way shape or form i beg you i plead with you i shout.
DO NOT SUPPORT EUROVISION IN THE SLIGHTEST. FUCK ISRAEL. FREE PALESTINE.
The first Eurovision that I barely watch. In anticipation of the massive shelling by russia, I decided to go to bed early.
Ukrainians are sleep-deprived always.
Oh, Lithuania, we are voting for this boy, friends, we are all voting!! This boy has raised a lot of money for Ukraine
Cashback?)
Haha, yes!
"GOOD EVENING COSSACKS
I remind you who we are NOT voting for."
She was wrong about Croatia.
And yes, to support someone, you need to follow what they say, because music is not outside of politics.
I make it more clear. This list doesn't represent the support of the country or the people as a whole. But about representatives themselves. Some of them are openly Russophiles. Netherlands and Germany especially. They write and perform songs with Russians or ❗even be in Russia after the start of full-scale war. Or they are russians like Israeli and Czech representatives.
It's a pity they didn't make it.
Safe night everyone, except russia and russian supporters (China, Iran, and North Korea).
My loving Ukrainians please be careful. Now already russian UAVs are flying to Kharkiv. React to air raid alarms. We all need you alive. Your life matters.

Every time I watch an American react to Eurovision for the first time, they something along the lines of "US shouldn't compete because we'd just bring Beyoncé and win".
