As we enter April of 2024, and now we have 6 months of senseless murdering of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, it feels like the world consists of 2 sides.

The deniers and those who see and acknowledge the extreme warcrimes committed by Israel and the US.

It´s getting harder to deny though, information and facts are finally sipping thru the web of lies Israel tries to push thru and in to western media stations. It shows clearly that Israel is getting a bit annoyed and bothered by it, especially since they now wanna ban all broadcasts from Al Jazeera in Israel....A really BIG sign of HOW FASCIST Likud and Netanyahu really are if you ask me.

More media is reporting about the atrocities and crimes Israel are committing i Gaza, senseless murders of children, women, men, help workers, journalists and anyone residing in areas where the Israeli army sets foot.

With nowhere to go the Palestinian population is now trapped in the worlds largest death camp, wether death will come thru famine, starvation, bullets or bombs, it is imminent...

To stand by and watch this is heartbreaking and changes my soul to the core. I know a lot of us are committed to Gaza, and we have relentlessly worked to make the world aware and to help STOP the genocide on civilian lives!

 

One of our petition signers, called P Mac, wrote this in the comments:

"For anyone who's short on time then here's a copy of the email I sent to the EBU this morning, along with a similar one to each of the partners/sponsors of this event. Feel free to copy/edit and send it. There's power in numbers!

 

I have never written a letter like this to anyone but then again, I've never felt such a strong need to do so - until now.

I just want to say that for the EBU to allow Israel to participate in this year's Eurovision song contest when in January, its war on Gaza prompted the majority of ICJ judges to see a credible risk to Palestinians under the genocide convention is an absolute disgrace.

Israel continues to ignore the UN demand for an immediate ceasefire and to allow humanitarian aid to flood into Gaza, prompting the World Court to publish a new set of provisional measures last week ordering Israel to open more land crossings which up to now, have also fallen on deaf ears. Despite this, Israel now expects the world to dance and sing along to their Eurovision entry while innocent Palestinians in Gaza, including little children, are turning into skeletons - not to mention Israel's persecution of Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank. It's GROTESQUE!

In my opinion, it doesn't make good business or PR sense or any company to sponsor this usual joyous occasion if Israel participates, and as I stated in my emails to every sponsor of this event, I for one will certainly boycott all products and services of any company that does so."

I share this here so more of the petition followers can see it and PLEASE copy this and send it to the EBU and any of the sponsors of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.

 

I would also like to push once more for the genocide free song contest, called FalastinVision that still are taking in songs to their competition, be sure to submit your song before the 15th of April. They are also looking for volunteers to help make it happen! Please follow and support! 

We are all in need of this positive and supportive action for Palestine and it´s people. Also they do a great job to put a spotlight on how extremely sick it is that the EBU still are letting Israel compete i Eurovision Song Contest in Malmoe in May 2024.

 

This ends todays update.

 

Sending you all loads of love from a snowy and ice cold Stockholm.

Respectfully/Lotta
