Israel doing well in Eurovision is a completely predictable result of the boycott. The people who are watching & voting in Eurovision are now at best willfully ignorant and apathetic and at worst actively pro-Israel, meaning there will be a disproportionate amount of people willing to vote for Israel and even people voting for them because of the boycott.
But saying that means that boycotting Eurovision was the wrong call completely misses the point of the boycott. The point is not "Israel should not win Eurovision", it is "Israel should not be allowed to compete in the first place". The point of the boycott is not to give the EBU views or money, so if you've been boycotting... don't give the EBU money by voting for someone tomorrow to prevent Israel from winning. If Israel does win, that does not mean boycotting failed; it only further delegitimizes the competition and we should burn the whole thing down.

kinda very confused as to how people are saying Kendall had never really been violent to Roman before the finale when, not only have we seen Kendall lay hands on Roman at least twice before now, but Roman has mentioned Kendall hurting him. I always interpreted Kendall's "protection" of roman as an extension of Kendall's hypocrisy surrounding his dad. i.e it's another thing Kendall hates his father for that he himself also has within him. Even the scene in 4.02 when Kendall calls Logan out for hitting Roman, it's not because he's actually appalled by it, it's because it's something he can throw in Logan's face that's tangible. Roman undercuts it by contradicting him, saying everyone hit him, and so many people interpret that as him downplaying the trauma out of shame. that's part of it, but it's also true. everyone hit him, we've seen Shiv hit him, seen Kendall lay hands on him, and Connor verifying memories of them all torturing him as a game. To me the stitch-popping scene in 4.10 is Kendall masking off. he's not even pretending he'll be different from Logan anymore, and he's not even going to try. in fact, he was going to treat Roman the same way their dad did, which is how Kendall had already treated him in the past, only now he was going to do it intentionally and unapologetically, and with open eyes.
i'm worried that palestinian fundraisers have been slowing dramatically the past few weeks because people think their goal numbers are 'a lot of money', and ignore them.
so, as the one-year mark of this ongoing genocide approaches, i'd ask you to think seriously about how much money it costs just to keep yourself alive for an entire year. $15,000? $10,000? could you live off just $5,000? for a whole year?
since losing his job and his house to the israeli bombing, mohammed iwais has been supporting his 27-person family on gofundme donations equivalent in total to about $50k USD, or roughly $1,852 per person.
i am asking you to think about the reality of what this means for a family undergoing repeated displacements, bullet wounds, other medical emergencies, and now homelessness—in an occupied country that is being brutally price-gouged and cut off from even basic humanitarian aid by military border blockades.
mohammed's fundraising goal has not yet been met, and he's going to update his gfm page to reflect that as soon as he gets a stable internet connection. until then, there's really only one question.
could you live off what the iwais family has raised so far?
