Hong Kong bans popular protest song

May. 8, 2024

An appeals court has granted the government’s request to ban “Glory to Hong Kong.” Demonstrators once sang it during the anti-government marches in 2019. It’s the latest crackdown on pro-democracy movements by China.

No, I'm still not over this. A Spanish reporter was begging the EBU to ensure freedom of press at the ESC because he got intimidated by the Israeli delegation yesterday. Like this alone should've warrant a fucking ban. Not to mention they shouldn't be here in the first place. Like in every corner of the world, Israel is allowed to break the rules and commit crimes without any repercussions. I'm so sick to my stomach. This is not what the ESC stands for initially. But money talks more than morals.

As of rn, Israel is still harassing other artists. They create an unsafe environment for everyone, the artists, and the audience. If this is the last contest ever, congratulations for ruining the legacy over a genocidal country that isn't even in Europe.

Don't Vote in Eurovision.

the 2nd semi is about to happen. israel is competing. i want to start by acknowledging something: i hope my fellow eurovision boycotters, protesters and general #BanIsraelfromEurovision people know it's not like. impossible for israel to win this year.

at eurovision, you only need a minority of televote to "win" televote, when there are 26 entries in the final. nobody wins with outright majority, they win by being the biggest minority.

if there's 10% dedicated zionist viewers who will vote for israel just because it's israel, that probably outweighs the points that a lot of other countries will get. if you divide 100/26, you get an average of 3.8%. if there's 10% dedicated zionists, i hope you see how that's suddenly a HUGE percentage. (of course, eurovision votes are not even. some songs get 0.2% of a country's vote, some songs get 20%. but the point stands. you don't need majority support to win.)

yes, this means that, theoretically, a country that supports palestine 90% could still give israel televote points - because of the united 10% voting for israel, while the 90% votes divided among the other entries. and you can't vote against songs in televote.

i side with the bookies that it's not LIKELY. we are very unlikely to see "ukraine 2022" level televote numbers for israel. europeans are much more divided on the apartheid colonial state. and many will vote just for "whichever song they like best."

i'm only saying that, IF israel were to get a huge televote score, it doesn't mean the "majority" of europe supports them. quite the opposite. it just means you can't vote against entries. you can be deeply unpopular and win.

i'm also saying this because, in the likely event that israel gets at least top 10, please dont let the zionists spread it as "proof" that europe is behind them. their apartheid colonial regime is bleeding support every day. most pro-palestine folks are boycotting.

this is a silly song contest. do not feel hopeless because of it.

instead, focus your attention on helping palestine and boycotting the contest. do NOT vote. that's giving the EBU money, which is a zionist organization willing to disgrace the contest to let israel use it as a propaganda platform. they don't deserve your money.

boycott eurovision. no watching, no voting.

donate to the world central kitchen, whose aid workers were murdered by israel while attempting to help palestinians.

the average person doesnt even know that wikipedia has had a several years long ban on ANY articles even referencing a fifteen year old web series. to the extent that mentioning it under actors pages to include their work on there is considered vandalism

for seemingly no reason ?
