israel at eurovision / mention of genocide
there's no point in discussing the proportionality of the israeli reaction to october 7 with people who think israel shouldn't be allowed to exist in the first place (i.e. support genocide if it is jews who get killed). who do not care about the jewish people who were displaced from muslim countries because it doesn't fit their narrative. people who deny what happened on october 7, people who cried genocide the moment israel reacted to the atrocities. i won't discuss with people who only ever demand a ceasefire from israel not from hamas.
i understand and share the compassion, grief and fear for palestinian life. but it can't come at the price of completely dehumanizing israeli people.

The UN and everybody else is going to find out sooner or later that famine is the objective. Actually, no.

Israel-Hamas war: Children begin to die of hunger in Gaza
It’s not just Israeli bombs that have killed children in war-ravaged Gaza. Now some are dying of hunger too. Officials have for months warned over the risk of famine in Gaza under Israel’s bombardment, offensives and siege. Hunger is most acute in the north, where at least 20 people — almost all children — have died from malnutrition and dehydration. That's according to Gaza's Health Ministry. But also in the south, where access to aid is more regular, particularly vulnerable children a…
