literally it doesnt matter if you're going to trash isr/el song and make some posts about how eurovision sucks if you're still going to watch it and support it, the show got hosted in israel in 2019, pretends to be an apolitical space and when some contestants protested with a free palestine banner they got silenced and removed from the competition

israel has been bombing residential towers, refugee camps, media offices and now there are reports that it plans to bomb two UN run schools in palestine. reminder that many ppl who have been rendered homeless by these bombings have found shelter in these schools. palestine's hospitals are overflowing, their top doctors are being killed in these bombings, and the pandemic is still raging while israel is blocking humanitarian aid as well. these are war crimes. this is a genocide.

Irish politician talking to an Israeli ambassador.

I love Ireland’s support and care for Palestine. Their struggles are invariably linked against imperialism.

Everyone who is committed to anti imperialism and anti capitalism should be staunchly against the white supremacist imperialist Zionist project.

sick of other trans people looking like a deer in the headlights when reminded that amabs can be nb too. there are really still people in our own community who think a nonbinary person is like. a woman wearing jeans

i've had people treat me visibly different after hearing my voice or seeing my face as if i'm some sort of predator or interloper. this attitude towards amab trans people especially nonbinary people really paints a picture of what the lgbt community thinks of gender in general
