every time i hear an american say that they should have several grand prixes because it's a big country and there is a lot of americans, steam starts to erupt from my ears. f1 calls itself a "world" championship and yet there is no race in africa, even though kyalami is right there. thank god we are finally back to racing in china, but there is no indian or argentinian gp. and yes i do also think that there are way too many european circuits and that signing a new street circuit in madrid is also total bullshit

"if we look at the Middle East, I think it's about time we stopped those of us who support—as most of us do—Israel in this body, for apologizing for our support for Israel. There's no apology to be made. None. It is the best $3 billion investment we make. Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region." - Joe Biden (1986)

hey reminder to continue boycotting eurovision and instead turn your eyes on gaza where the last media outlet al jazeera has just been shut down so that Israel can launch its attack on the most densely populated area in the world without scrutiny. Dont stop talking about Palestine

[ilajue]

(dont put this guy on blast, i cropped URL out on purpose)

lets use this as an opportunity for learning and growth guys. By platforming Israel, Eurovision legitimizes and enables their genocide. In the same way that Russia has been banned from participating from the Olympics in an act of solidarity with Ukraine, Eurovision had the opportunity to stand in solidarity with Palestine. Instead, they have chosen to associate themselves with Israel, a violent colonial state, uplifting them to an international stage to do pr for themselves.

In the same way, all contestants in Eurovision had the opportunity to condemn Israel or call for their removal from the competition. I'm sorry because I know people get a lot of joy from the music but in a situation as dire as Palestine neutrality is functionally the same as complacency.

I ask you to boycott Eurovision in solidarity with the 34,535 Palestinians who have lost their lives in the last few months. The 77,704 who have been wounded. The 1.5 million survivors, most of them displaced and mourning, who are packed into Gaza right now. Have the empathy and willpower to be serious for like 10 seconds and recognize that you can find entertainment elsewhere.

[dreadedloreenkid]

I'm going to be gentle but firm here, as someone who originally started this blog as a Eurovision fan blog and who has watched the contest live and bought merch for many years:

The reason the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 has been targeted for by the Palestinian BDS National Committee is because it is a platform for Israel to normalise itself in the international community, and as image control.

It uses things like the Tel Aviv Preparty, and the popularity of the contest amongst the LGBT community to influence peoples' image of Israel (a process known as artwashing and pinkwashing).

The goal of the BDS (Boycott Divest Sanction) campaign is to get the world to withdraw any legitimate engagement with Israel to pressure the regime - the same strategy used against the apartheid regime in South Africa.

A strategic boycott, like the one organised for Eurovision 2024, requires you to not watch the shows, stream the music, watch the youtube videos, or otherwise engage with the event and its products/material (digital or otherwise).

For a boycott to work, the EBU needs to see a significant drop in viewership of the contest, contest votes, youtube views, merch and ticket sales, and other metrics of commercial success and engagement. Ideally, several countries (particularly larger countries that contribute more money to the EBU, like the Big 5 or nordics) should have withdrawn, as we know that level of pressure is what's required to get the EBU to actually do anything (see also: Russia and Azerbaijan).

Because no country has withdrawn, that makes the necessity of audience/consumer boycott all the more important.

If the EBU sees the same number of people watching, voting, buying merch, listening to the songs, there is no reason for them to reconsider Israel's participation, because the EBU hasn't lost anything because their participation.

Simply changing the channel/turning off the stream during Israel's performance, not watching the Israeli youtube videos etc. doesn't work because this doesn't affect the success of the contest overall.

The Eurovision Song Contest itself has to be threatened (by depriving it of an audience) for the EBU to take action.

Please can you publish trustworthy links for donating to Syria so it helps reach the less supported people?

There are 3 main ones I know of (I have family in Syria that are directly affected)

1. Molham

I've included a link to where people can donate and here is a link to their twitter page where they're giving regular updates. Here's a third link to donate in Euros

Molham, to those who don't know, are specifically a non profit, non government team that have been providing relief for displaced & refugee Syrians. They're now helping out with the Earth Quake.

2. The White Helmets 

Currently searching  for survivors and pull ing the dead from collapsed buildings

3. Islamic Relief (this link should work for all countries donating)

Has for a very long time been extremely reliable. I usually donate through them and they tend to help out people all cross the world. They currently have a team in Syria, last I've heard.

here's a link if you're donating specifically in Canada, UK, America,

please PLEASE donate.

Even one dollar, one pound, can go a long way.

And if you can't, PLEASE reblog!!

Syria needs help too! Syria matters too! They're not receiving aid for a variety of political reasons and they desperately need it!!!

[tamarrud]

I want to make sure everyone actually understands the severity of this.

When we say that 1.4 million people in Rafah have nowhere to go we are also talking about how Israel had taken over Rafah crossing, which is the sole access point for Gazans, preventing the movement of people and goods as a result.

For the past 7 months you've heard of famine and witnessed infants dying of severe dehydration. This is only going to exacerbate now that the only source of the already scarce resources of food and water is completely shut down.

For the past 7 months you have seen how many people Israel's weapons have severely injured and maimed and how the only remaining cancer hospital was also taken over by Israel. The situation of these people who are injured and sick is only going to get worse because despite them obtaining permits to leave Gaza for treatment, there is no way out anymore.

For the past 7 months you have seen countless people crowdfunding to evacuate their families and flee genocide. None of these efforts are going to go anywhere and no one would be allowed out of Gaza for the foreseeable future, while Israel goes on with its barbaric mission of attempting to annihilate the people of Gaza.

Absolutely no access. Everyone is trapped. Nowhere to go.

Joe Biden makes a speech saying Hamas are driven by the ancient desire to eliminate Jews. Hamas was created in 1987, Joe. Ain’t nothing ancient about them. So unless you are implying that Palestinians are driven by the ancient desire to wipe out Jews which is KKK cross burning level of racism, you might want to tone down the racist bullhorn that you are mistaken for a dog whistle.

[ubernegro]

Liberals were brought to tears by Trump’s racism will nod along to Biden’s open pronouncement to eliminate Palestinians and Arabs in general.

[bringmemyrocks]

The first Hamas constitution had antisemitic language in it (quoting the 19th century antisemitic Protocols of the Elders of Zion in Article 32), but everyone who signed that original Hamas charter is dead.

The 2017 charter explicitly condemns antisemitism. But these facts don't matter to people who commit genocide. Antisemitism in one article of a document nobody uses anymore is justification, to them, for killing 50,000.

Another thing is that when this aggression started, we were so worried about winter and how displaced people in tents will survive it. Earlier this week the temperature in Gaza hit 38 degrees (100 Fahrenheit) and we are now wondering how will displaced people survive the heat in those tents.

[tamarrud]

Just remember that while the tents did not keep rainwater out during winter, they trap the heat in during the summer.

Israel had destroyed over 70% of housing units in Gaza. With nowhere to go, Palestinians built these makeshift tents with pieces of nylon and scraps of fabric. This made it so that the temperature inside the tent is higher than what it is outside.

This is the reality of all the displaced people in Gaza who currently live in tents, who are now dreaming of a sip of cold water as temperatures begin to soar. Remember them and raise your voice for their sake.

Jenson is literally the capybara of the 00s-10s F1 they put that man with the most mentally unhinged competitors and teammates and he was chill. He was like the dogs they give to cheetahs in zoos to calm them down except it was him, one dog, and 22 cheetahs.

[mickstart]

Jenson has one brain cell and it is DEVOTED to emotional intelligence which makes him the most emotionally well adjusted man in Motorsport, beating the previous record of Mika Hakkinen's 0.5 brain cells dedicated to emotional intelligence.

Harvey skyrocketing in popularity among stardew fans solely because of that Hozier song is so funny to me because it makes me feel like we are playing 2 VERY different games. Harvey is not "I'd rather take my whiskey neat my coffee black and my bed at three" he's a walking ball of anxiety dork of a man who probably goes to bed at 10 pm every night. If anything, the roles should be reversed cuz I KNOW the farmer is a freak.
