There is a carnage going on in Rafah as I write this.

Netanyahu and his murdering machine is bombing in an area where about 1,5 million people has been forced to relocate to. It was supposedly a so called "safe area", but it seems more as if the IDF has herded civilians in Gaza towards the boarder of Egypt to either force Egypt to open the crossing and by doing so force Palestinians to leave Gaza or, the absolute worst case scenario, continue to murder civilian Palestinian population trapped with absolute no where to go.

 

Netanyahu has been very vocal about this, and I quote the Prime Minister of Israel here:

" It is impossible to achieve the goal of the war of eliminating Hamas (*in his words, seemingly every Palestinian in Gaza) by leaving four Hamas battalions in Rafah.

Therefore, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the IDF and the security establishment to submit to the cabinet a combined plan for evacuating the population and destroying the battalions."

The following text is from BDS National Committee´s instagram account

"Netanyahu´s order, in total defiance of the ICJ orders to stop all genocidal acts, follows Anthony Blinken´s meeting with Israeli and Egyptian governments, indicating a US greenlight.

If allowed to be executed, this ethnic cleansing plan would lead to another wave of masskillings of Palestinians, adding to the toll of tens of thousands already massacred by the Israeli forces."

End quote

 

This is insanity. How can the so called "world leaders" stand by, watching like it was a football game?? IT IS INSANE I tell you.

What is the reason for the world to give Israel and Netanyahu a green card to eliminate an entire population in Gaza? 

Knowing the Western standards it has to be money...Money, natural resources, land, expansion, golden opportunities. *pukes in mouth....

 

As civilians, we are not helpless.

We can´t stop the carnage going on in this very moment, but:

We can boycott all brands connected to Israeli interests, we can contact our banks to make sure our savings (if we have any) don´t benefit Israeli interests, we can stop and ask where the fruits and vegetables we buy at our local store comes from, we can make sure friends and family gets involved in these blockades. We can put pressure on other federations, organisations and spaces where Israel are participating and make sure they are blocked.

That method has been proven to work before in trying to dismantle Apartheid in South Africa, and eventually it put an end to the Apartheid system there. 

BUT there was a difference...Back then the the Western world wasn´t as corrupt as it is today.

Today we see the level of corruption in the lack of action from world leaders and other international organisations. 

Sure, it is partly due to guilt from WW2 that has given Netanyahu and Israel a "free pass" to kill Palestinians without much or any interventions in the West bank and Gaza since 1948. Mostly because no one wants to be called an anti-semite, a word that Israeli Hasbara loves to throw in the face to anyone questioning the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and there is money, money, money invested in organisations such as AIPAC  

 

So, what has this to do with Eurovision you may ask?

This has everything to do with Eurovision, as the EBU in this situation is actively taking money from Israel (Moroccan oil, sponsoring ESC) helping Israel to maintain an image (Royal Caribbean crusies sponsors of ESC) of being a levelheaded and functioning state, when it for those of us who has opened our eyes clearly, and read between the lines, can see that there is a severe disfunction and a scary "cult like" leadership with all the tendencies of having fascistoid and extreme right wing ideologies. 

I just had to get this off my chest.

A FREE Palestine and the end of the genocide NOW!!
