international relations, boycott eurovision, human rights, critical pedagogy, cats, deutsch, suomea. she/her/hän.
francesca albanese has cited eurovision, along with the olympics, fifa, fiba and other sporting and cultural events, as sheltering israel from accountability by not removing it from their competitions. if that is not a damning indictment of eurovision’s complicity in genocide i don’t know what is.

Irlannin, Espanjan, Alankomaiden ja muiden maiden lähetystoiminnan harjoittajien luoma momentum on tilaisuus painostaa Yleä liittymään historian oikealle puolelle.

All eyes on the Gaza Aid Flotilla. Demand Safe Passage.
🚨 ALL EYES on the Sumud Flotilla 🚨
As the Sumud Flotilla nears Israel’s illegally designated and enforced yellow zone demarking a maritime siege of Gaza, we repeat our call upon the international community to ensure the safety and success of the peaceful people’s aid mission.
My latest @theguardian.com: "Fifa banned Russia from international football. Now it must do the same for Israel." As Israel inflicts untold misery on Palestinians, it is time for soccer’s governing bodies to stand by the principles they claim to uphold www.theguardian.com/football/202...

the countries that pushed for russia’s exclusion in 2022 are particularly good pressure targets, appeal to their former conscience: 🇫🇮🇪🇪🇸🇪🇳🇴🇩🇰🇱🇻
also good to pressure countries that haven’t made a decision yet (poss open to persuasion), eg: 🇫🇮🇪🇪🇧🇪🇫🇷🇵🇹🇭🇷🇦🇱🇵🇱
This summer was the fourth hottest in European history, and its effects on the continent’s population have been widely reported. New research estimates that climate change caused 16,469 deaths in European cities this summer.

in the meantime hang in there, something will come soon!
all this liberal “we can set our differences aside” garbage was designed for like, making european centre-right capitalists and centre-right christian agriculturalists work together against labour movements. the “united” front has *always* been premised on exclusion, stop falling for it!!!

wild statement from the international cyclist union about la vuelta here.
we’re all used to cultural and sporting institutions claiming they are “non-political” and care about “unity” to avoid responsibility by now, but outright attacking a country’s ability to host events is a new low. shameful.

no worries I didn’t think it was! the bbc will definitely remain cowards, I just mean if they’re going to be obstinate we should be obstinate back and force them to have to at least confront the cowardice

15.09.2025 13:57 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0i totally get that concern but i think the effort is valuable anyway. public institutions generally have to log the letters and complaints they get from the public so it helps leave a paper trail of opposition to their decision and if enough people send letters it can force wider media discussion.

the momentum started by RTVSLO, RTÉ, AVROTROS and others is a huge opportunity right now to pressure the EBU to get israel out of #eurovision but we need to tell other national broadcasters that we want them to do the same! write to them today!
1/2
the time to contact your national broadcasters is now. with rté, rtvslo and others there is momentum here, but still-on-the-fence broadcasters need to know their audiences demand action. write every single week until december, get all your friends and family to do it too.

the finnish government has ceased recognising passports issued by the Palestinian Authority (and other refugee and stateless travel documents), despite having previously recognised them.
if you live in Finland, sign this petition. www.sumud.fi/en/petition/...
