then all the crybabies in #Spain and #Belgium should maybe question their unconditional support for a terrorist organisation, because the #majority of the #Europeans stand behind #Israels right of #self-defense.

They are not here to support or demonise a state, they might have just enjoyed the music, and this is what the #ESC is about; music, artists expressing themselves and representing their countries. And in case that many people voted for #Israel because they wanted to show their support,

#Austria's #JJ, who won the contest - congratulations to #Austria and #JJ on this part - would have a higher jury voting, than the popular vote. Guess what? Both things are fine! People watching the #ESC are not professionals.

Publikumsliebling Israel - Sender beschweren sich über Zuschauervoting beim ESC Nach dem Eurovision Song Contest sehen mehrere beteiligte Fernsehsender Klärungsbedarf wegen der Stimmabgabe. Es geht um die Punkte für Israel, die im ESC-Finale eine auffällige Diskrepanz zwischen Ju...

Another article regarding the #ESC:

This time the author speaks of a "noticeable discrepancy between the public vote and the expert jury" when it comes down to #Israel, while #Austria is mentioned just on a side note:

my stance would be the same, as with #Orban #crying about the #EU: Don't like it? Leave it. It's not like we would miss anything out with #Belgium and #Spain not participating in the #ESC - or #Hungary becoming the next Russian Republic by its own.

would take a second to reflect on their position, and why it is important for THEM, that Israel is demonised beyond reason. To me this seems like underlying #antisemitism, but I'm of course just a random person on the internet, what do I know.
If I would have a say in this,

This is like comparing apples with pears. As for the voting: I think it speaks for itself, if the majority of #Europeans stand with #Israel on its war against terrorism and do condemn the #October7th #Hamas attack. Instead of suspecting #fraud, it would be better if the respective #Israel haters

and a TV channel in #Belgium. There are rumors of vote #manipulation and comparisons of #Israel with #Russia.
The comparison is btw. #bullshit; Russia invaded #Ukraine for its imperialistic goals, while #Israel is fighting a war AGAINST an invasion of terrorists from the #Gaza strip.

German press reporting on the #Eurovision: #Israel managed to become 2nd place with a very positive voting of the public of different countries - congratulations! Apparently this is now frustrating the borderline-antisemitic government in #Spain

Will #Trump or #Rubio join, too?

No, Elon, because you are an idiot with too much money and too much power, that so happened to fire tenthousands of people, without being entitled to it.
Imagine: the average working force getting mad, when you dump them on the street.
Real life is not Twitter.

You should laugh at anyone who says the president should have unlimited power because he was elected. His power has to be limited *because* he's the president. This is fifth grade level social studies

@clemensfuest.bsky.social möchte am liebsten das #Elterngeld abschaffen. Entweder hat er keine Kinder oder genug Kohle, dass er persönlich das Elterngeld nicht braucht.
Bin mir nicht sicher, ob hier auch mit dem Alter einfach die kognitive Leistung abnimmt oder ob es Wahlkampf für @die-linke.de ist.

Trump and Vance wanted Zelensky to thank them for an aid package that Vance voted against and Trump opposed.

After the Oval Office disaster, let’s remember :

Europe is wealthy,

Europe is strong,

If it wants to, Europe can deal with this.

Demand EU leaders take action! How? 👇

President Zelensky meeting with the leaders of Russia and North Korea... oh, wait...

These false allegations must stop and scientists as well as politicians alike must do their deed to prevent misinformation and terrorist group propaganda from spreading.

It also demonises Israel unjustifiable, equating it to the Apartheim regime in South Africa or in more extreme cases even to Nazi-Germany. This belittles the state practices and crimes undertaken by these regimes. Israel does not have racially segregated toilets or busses and no concentration camps.

Furthermore, the language used enables antisemitism, since - and this has been shown over and over again - the so called "anti-israeli" protests target Jewish students and Jewish teachers at universities worldwide alike, regardless of their views on Israel or their actual citizenship.

Further more: this is ahistoric and anti-scientific, since the person who put up that posting already violated the most important rule in research, which being open for any results.
It also frames palestianan history as a history of victimhood, which has been disproven by scholars around the world.

No, Hochul is absolutely right! Language in a job post, that already is frames Israel in a complete and utter contrafactual way, as an 'Apartheit state' or the war against Hamas as 'genocide' is not academic freedom - it is Hamas propaganda.

Thank you! I'm just a random person on the internet, who is interested in things, however.

The world needs to wake up and take the Palestinians into responsibility for their actions and for peace in the middle east instead permanently pointing the finger on Israel. If the Palestinians would not continually pose a threat, people like Netanyahu would have never been elected.

This is why on Oct. 7th not only Hamas fighters did go to kill innocent people, but civilians, people who even had their workplaces in Israel, people that were recognised as civilians. Oct. 7th basically proved, how twisted the palestinian society is.

And this perpetuation of practices like Palestinians inheriting their refugee status, framing them as victims of Israel policies , paird with an psychotic obsession of countless UN members with Israel, condemning it more often than North Korea, for example, is what defines the Palestinian society.

They are held hostage, by the people ruling over them, be it PLO, be it Hamas, be it Islamic Jihad and they are fed the same lies and the same hate every day. This is encouraged by countless European states and UN-personell, either by ignorance or because of some anti-israeli sentiments.

There is no progress on the palestinian side. You know, sure, Netanyahu, who is essentially the Israeli version of Trump, will also need to leave office to make way for real peace, but the good thing is, the Israelis will hold elections and he might just not win. The Palestinians cannot do that.

And here is another thing: Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah is in office almost as long as Russias Putin, put in place by Arafat and he will put another spiritual successor to these ideas on the throne, once time comes.

And Hamas and PLO are making sure to remind their people about this, not only by indoctrinating them, but also by enacting policies, that might punish any cooperation.

And islamism on the other hand, which claims the same under a religious label. This is why there is no effort on the palestinian side for any true and lasting peace. In this system, Israel is simply not allowed to exist.
