Today is day 101 of the ongoing ethnical cleansing and genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

Israel has been in the ICJ in Hauge over the charges of genocide from South Africa. Interesting enough media choose to broadcast and show Israels defense day 2 and totally ignored the case South Africa presented on day one. What a world we live in.

People across the world continue to protest and raise their voices for Palestine on a daily basis, but many times media chooses not to depict and broadcast these protest attended by as many as 400,000 people all at once in some countries. 

In Sweden the singer and well renowned artist Eric Saade has taken to social media (instagram stories) to be very vocal about the atrocities committed by Israel against the Palestinian people. Eric himself has Palestinian roots and has competed several times in the Swedish contest Melodifestivalen and in the Eurovision Song Contest (2011) finishing on a third place with the song "Popular". 

I would like to commend Eric for doing this, knowing that he probably will get the "cold shoulder" from many of the "industry people" in Sweden for doing this.

Let´s show Eric love and support!

I just wish MORE artist competing and taking part in the Eurovison Song Contest would dare to take a stand for Palestine! 

Because as they say, being silent is also being complicit.

Finland, Norway and Island has been very active and vocal about boycotting and banning Israel from the Eurovision Song Contest.

In Sweden the silence is deafening.... SVT really are in the hands of Israel it seems...Scary and extremely sad.

Well, this ends todays update.

Keep being vocal, keep demanding ESC and EBU to BAN ISRAEL and demand boycotts if they do let them compete.
