Just a reminder that Israel does not speak for all Jews.
I am mortified that a country that claims to represent me is committing genocide (and coopting the ESC for propaganda)

Israeli vote farming insulting our intelligence. They’ll keep at it until they win.
After last years antics and this years clear vote rigging, Israel need removing from #Eurovision. If Russia was removed as an aggressor, so should Israel be.
Thank goodness for Austria.

Eurovision this year felt different. The voting felt chaotic, and the sense of unity and campness was missing. Feels like a lot of the core audience was absent.
So Eurovision is gonna need to have a VERY REAL conversation internally about what to do about a certain country that has phone banked two years in a row because of politics, right? This year was a near miss that could have killed the event. Christ that would have been bad.

7.5 million Jews in the U.S. (according to Wikipedia). 10 million members of CUFI (also Wikipedia), a Christian zionist organisation. Even if all U.S. Jews were zionist, they would be outnumbered by people who support Israel to hasten the second coming of Christ.
FYI criticizing Israel is not antisemitic, but supporting Israel only because you’re waiting for the Rapture to happen so all the Jews burn in Hell is.

It is, after all, English tradition to be painfully ignorant about the places we’re occupying. The colonialist narrative spoon-feed to us from British sources is much more pleasant.
I almost feel for Radio 3’s breakfast show. They want to mark St Patrick’s Day but can’t play Donnacha Dennehy etc for fear of putting listeners off their eggs and b. So every year it’s ‘and here’s Sir Starvem Plantationer’s 1845 ‘Sweet Country Air’ based on his tenants’ dying moans

B. to create resilient systems independent of the US,
C. radically to reform campaign finance to stop it happening here.

Germany is rightly concerned about the USA's dramatic empowering of Vladimir Putin under Trump.
Yet disregarding the ICC's arrest warrant against Netanyahu also empowers Putin. Both are serial breakers of international law, and unravelling structures of legal accountability for one aids the other.
