BOYCOTT EUROVISION FOR ISRAEL PARTICIPATION.

I am the Eurovision gay this time of year, I love this show. Not only is my country hosting 2024 but it's also in a city I love, but I can't watch as people sing about peace and love while Palestinians are getting killed by one of the participants.

I've complied a couple of petitions, open letters and information regarding Eurovision: Eurovision isn't the highest priority regarding Gaza, but this show is marketing & tourism for countries, Israel is using it to pink wash their politics

According to SVT, Swedish television network in charge of Eurovision 2024 in Sweden Malmö, Eurovision is apolitical, and therefore Israel qualify. They refer to any calls for boycott meaningless ( via )

SVT statement:

[ID: "SVT statement on the debate over Israel’s participation in the Eurovision Song Contest

Israel’s participation in the Eurovision Song Contest is generating debate and today a number of Swedish artists have called on the EBU to cancel Israel’s participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. It is the EBU’s decision which public broadcasters may take part in the event, and as the host broadcaster, SVT follows the EBU’s decisions. The humanitarian suffering in this deeply complex conflict is devastating. Nobody can be left unmoved by the current situation in Gaza, or by the Hamas attack in Israel. We are also concerned about these developments. We understand and respect that groups of people wish to make their voices heard. As the host broadcaster, SVT has an ongoing dialogue with the EBU about the challenges of producing Europe’s largest TV-production in times of unrest. We are humbled by the task and are working to ensure the project can be carried out in the best way possible, with the vision that music unites." END ID]

Eurovision has always been political, and was created as a celebration of peace after WW2. Songs are statements, and EBU took action by banning Russia and Belarus for the invasion of Ukraine. It's a way to show sympathy and solidarity, which Gaza is in need of now.

Why Eurovision is so important to Israel is the opportunity of pink washing, and appearing liberal and LGBTQ-friendly, that the show encourages. This leads to great marketing and tourism for the country, alqueerian on twitter did a great thread about it:

[ID: Tweet from @ alqueerian on X formerly known as Twitter. Tweet: "A really quick thread on pinkwashing and why it’s wrong: pinkwashing is a term that was coined by LGBTQ Palestinians to specifically refer to the use of homophobia as a justification for israeli war crimes, ethnic cleansing, mass displacement, starvation etc." END ID]

Full thread

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

Here are a couple of petitions, open letters and links to encourage the ban of Israel in Eurovision

And if all fail: we boycott

Here are two petitions for the ban of Israel: Petition 1

Petition 2

A list of emails and contact information for broadcasters regarding Israel participation: copy, paste and send. Document

It's created by verilybitchie on YouTube who also made a great call to action video I can recommend

[ID: Screenshot of verilybitchie youtube video "Genocide at the Eurovision Song Contest". The video is showing an article by Chris Lockeyer, news reposter, titled "Israel to compete at Eurovision despite boycott threats" The article says: "The European broadcast Union said its member organisations approved Israel's participation in the competition and it remains aligned with other competition organisations on its stance." The article is from December 19th, 2023. END ID]

And for Swedes, I think it's extra important for us to speak up; here's what we can do:

Open letter via Björk & Frihet, a charity in Skåne offer letters to sign but also have pdf version to print at home!

[ID: Photo from Björk & Frihet, a swedish charity offering open letters to sign to send to the government. "Stoppa folkmordet" as the letters are ladled, means "stop the genocide" END ID]

This is also a letter regarding the contest being held in Malmö, a city with a long history fighting for Palestine! Sign here

[ID: Vote for Swedes in Malmö to sign to protest Israel's participation in Eurovision. END ID]

Meanwhile, don't forget your daily clicks to help Palestine while we wait for EBU to stand by their words and prove we are united by music!

Found this in my religion (as in the school subject) book

"On these pictures you see three examples of modern day anti-jewish expressions. Answer the three questions." "1. Which form of jew hate do you recognize? 2. Which symbols are being used? 3. Which text is anti-jewish?"

*this is the last year we use this method, thanks to my teacher

Hello, I'm from Gaza City because of the war,my house was destroyed. We lost everything,my family and I did not have anything left. We left our homes in search of a safe place and we were displaced three  times to different places to survive, but unfortunately there's no safe place in Gaza. My mother is very sick and she's a kidney failure patient in need of treatment outside. She suffers from LS. Help me and my family to survive. Please, your small donation can make a huge difference. A friend outside Gaza has come in to help me run the donation program so that my mother can be evacuated. My friend Mr. Noah Keter is receiving the donations on our behalf to help us organise how to evaluate Gaza in the next four days

Unfortunately I am unable to send donations to anyone right now but I encourage my followers snd anyone else who might see this to donate to Mr. Noah Kater to help some of the families in Gaza. Israel's genecide must be stopped.

Ramadan Kareem!

I hope all of you that fast have a blessed and wonderful ramadan, may Allah be pleased with all of us!

Please keep the people in Palastine in mind, keep them in your heart and prayers!

You Need To Speak!!!

It doesn’t matter how old or how young you are you need to speak for the people of Gaza. If you are an American living in the United States you know that this past Sunday was the Superbowl. During the Super Bowl Israel began bombing Rafah, Gaza, the last safe zone AND the place the Israelis told the Palestinians to go to. Because Israel knew most of Americans would be watching the Super Bowl they decided to bomb the last Gaza safe zone because they knew no one would be watching. This is the time to speak. You have to speak and act now. It doesn’t matter if you are young or don’t have money to donate you need to speak. The United States is responsible for sending millions of dollars to Israel which means the U.S. is funding Israel’s genocide.

You need to speak because the People of Palestine need you too. It doesn’t matter how old you are you need to speak. You can speak up by sharing messages like this throughout tumblr. You can help by making your own posts about what is happening and sharing other creators posts too. If you have TikTok or and other social media you need to share yours and other creators words about what is happening right now. Your voice matters. This is not a war this is a genocide. This is not about Hamas this is about an ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians people. You have to speak for them because as you read this post innocent people are dying and they need your voice to help end this.

Stop the W''AR

I don't approve of the wa''r between Pale''stine and Isr''ael. Kil'lling and kidnap'pping people is si'cken'ing. But if a large group of people takes ov''er a country where people already live, opp'press those people and suddenly call it Isr'rael. Then it is logical that Pallest'ini'ans will resist. If we accept the Je''ws in the We''st, they would have no need to create their own cou''ntry. And if everyone accepted Mu'sllims instead of op'prressing them there might not be a w@r there. Let the Je'wss come back here and let us welcome them with open arms instead of ha''tred. We are all people with d''reams and emo''tions. We are all on this small planet. Stop fig'hting and taking over countries. It's time to live together. NEDERLANDS:

De oo'rlog tussen Pa'lestina en Is'raël keur ik echt niet goed. Mensen do'den en on'tvoeren is ziekelijk. Maar als een grote groep mensen een land overn'eemt waar al mensen wonen, die mensen onderdrukken en het opeens Isr'aël noemen. Dan is dat ook logisch dat Pale'stijnen zich gaan verzetten.

Moesten we de Jod'en aanvaarden in het We'sten dan hadden ze geen nood om eigen land te maken. En als iedereen Mos'lims aanvaarde ipv te onderdrukken was er misschien geen oo'rlog daar. Laat de Jo'den terug naar hier komen en laten we ze ontvangen met open armen in plaats van haat.

We zijn allemaal mensen met dromen en emoties. We zitten allemaal op deze kleine planeet. Stop met ve'chten en landen overn'emen. Het is tijd om samen te leven.

🇵🇸

MARCH 10TH, 2024

The dutch king will be welcoming the is-not-raeli president and allowing him to open the NATIONAL HOLOCAUST MUSEUM, while funding the genocide of Palastina, has got to be one of the most disgusting thing the Netherlands has done.

The Dutch politicians are choosing to let sons, daughters, babies, pets, mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, and lovers be killed, and then choosing to let the person that is the cause of all these murders and crimes open the museum to help people remember and be disgusted at the past.

March 10th, the politicians have made their stand, it's time for citizens of the Netherlands to make theirs.

From the river to the sea,

Palestine will be free
