Anyone who believes anything Israel says at this point is an imbecile. Every time they cry wolf, it gets exposed as a lie, but the US press eats up the next lie anyway and repeats it as fact.
"40 beheaded babies! Okay, we made that up. But mass rapes! Okay, we made that up, too. But THIS time, we're TOTALLY telling the truth, guys! Honest! Pinky swear! And stop calling it genocide/ethnic cleansing just because we publicly said that was our intent and because what we're doing literally fits those definitions! Everyone who doesn't support our genocide is Hamas!"
But you know, evangelicals will defend Israel because they're fucking crazy, and Big Politicians will defend them because they're the one majority white state in the Middle East and serve US military and economic interests there, and because Israel supporters have zero critical thinking skills or anything approximating a moral compass.
If they had critical thinking skills, they'd stop falling for Israeli propaganda. If they had a moral compass, they'd oppose genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and the entire brutal colonialist settler state.

eurovision 2023 was a MESS
ok, since everyone is raving about kaarija shouldve won (and rightfully so), im gonna try and get a bit of appreciation for some of the acts this year who DID NOT deserve how little points they got
First of all: WILD YOUTH!
ok so i really dont understand how wild youth didnt pass through the grand final and end up with a top 10 finish? because they did SO WELL ON STAGE!! their golden shower on stage looked PHENOMENAL (hint hint) and their pre-recorded backing vocals were FLAWLESSSS, especially when backstage autotune conor sang for on-stage conor when his hands got too tired to hold the mic up to his mouth!
i loved how conor was serving ‘child lost in the mall and cant find mummy’ realness with his captivating gaze and IMMENSE stage presence.. and while most acts this year stuck to serving metaphorical cunt, wild youth pulled themselves together to serve literal cunt too?!?!?! like tell me how that isnt deserving of a top 10 finish
lets take the time to mourn wild youth’s tragic deaths and move on to the next robbed act: CYPRUS
someone please tell me how he got 126 points in the final??? like i didnt even realise until the results were finished that he got to where he was on the scoreboard?? and then i was hit with such deep and profound waves of sadness because HOW. HOW DID CYPRUS GET THERE?
you know what, im going to be appreciative instead of bitter because you cant break a broken heart (rip ireland), and im going to say that im so glad that this beautiful song appealed to so many voters all across europe and the rest of the world because, frankly, i was terrified for andy’s chances in the final, and i didnt grasp how many people could appreciate the niche of love-island-shirtless-man-kisses-bikini-lady-as-they-make-up-from-a-5-second-fight-with-BOOM-wiwibloggs-eque-sound-effects (as opposed to the more popular genres like latvia’s)
im so happy for you, andrew lambrou, and even though i know that you and your grippers were robbed, i just want to say i that i wish you (and your grippers) a lifetime of success, and i hope that you (and, you guessed it, your grippers) receive many more 12 points from the greek jury in the future.
moving on to another robbed act.. POLAND
first of all, let me just mention how much hate blanka got, especially during the preparty season? come on guys, eurofans arent meant to be like this - we can’t just go and send so much unfounded hate on someone because what did blanca even do wrong?
im gonna try and be more positive for this one too... blancka went out there and did ONE OF THE BEST dance breaks ever in EUROVISION HISTORY - like, shes rivaling the likes of chanel and eleni
ok for those of you that dont understand, let me analyse a bit...
Blanka dances with a certain stiffness, and her movements may even be described as slightly robotic, which may, at first glance, seem like a bad thing to the untrained eye. But, the lack of fluidity is far from a lack of skill, its an act of storytelling. Blanca is nervous, she’s afraid to express herself to the fullest. She’s scared of going solo. Even though the lyrics of the song are filled with positivity and a sense of freedom, Blanka expertly reveals that she is terrified of being independent again, and I think that showing such vulnerability through her inflexible and reserved dancing to Eurovision’s immeasurably large audience is so, so beautiful.
AHEM. cough.
and after all of that, she still got paid DUST by the juries (like 12 points? really?). this here is the sole reason why the jury should be abolished, or at least reformed in eurovision. the juries are meant to vote for the objective best song and the best overall package but hello? where are blanka’s votes?
disgusting.
ok, next up is.. unfortunately, QUEEN NOA KIREL FROM ISRAEL
i can’t believe she only got third place
