The Israeli Goverment Has Become The Monster

[Bartholomew Gallacher]

Israel won the Eurovision popular vote in 2025 in countries where polls show it is deeply unpopular — and a New York Times analysis of voting data found that only a few hundred people voting repeatedly could have tipped those results, the paper reported Monday in a major investigation.

ESC being rigged is nothing new, this is normal. Eastern European countries are normally sticking together voting for each other, also in the South. We are used to that.

Also when in 2022 Ukraine won the contest this was also a political signal, not because the song was the best of that year.

So Israel being a member of that club as well is only mildly surprising at best. Of course the record labels are trying to rig it, because they always do. And all other involved parties as well.

I mean it's the same with the Academy Awards: big bribing budgets often win.

I have not seen this before - it is from a larger video produced by Al Jazeera 2 years ago:

Much of this was discredited by Israeli press before the western press made any efforts to investigate the lies.

Your post makes me acutely aware of western press self-censorship and fear of Israeli displeasure and all that entails.

Who should we trust, or at least take a look at?
Double Down News, for starters, The Young Turks Live YouTube with Cenk Uygur, who is often loud and passionate in his support for Palestinians, while co-presenter Ana Kasparian is one of the bravest women ever. Then there’s Al Jazeera, middleeasteye.net, Owen Jones, and Mehdi Raza Hasan's Zeteo.com news portal, any more?

Btw, on ZAKA

The makers of the documentary Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, which was dropped by the BBC, have won the Bafta TV Awards in the current affairs category.

The makers of the film slammed the BBC during their acceptance speeches at the awards on Sunday, renewing controversy over the broadcaster’s decision to shelve the project before it was later aired by Channel 4.

Some background

A high-profile documentary about Palestinian doctors working amid wartime conditions in Gaza — which the BBC decided not to broadcast — is now getting a global release, thanks to its acquisition by journalist Mehdi Hasan’s media startup Zeteo.

This is insane on so many levels

However, these peddlers of stolen land get a free pass. And we're smeared as "antisemites" and "supporters of terrorism" for being against it.

Oh, there goes the "Palestinians raped Israelis on Oct. 7" myth... And now, how will the pro-genocide Labour and Corporate Dem shills spew their BS?

 

[Mona Eberhardt]

How exactly am I supposed to view someone who's been trying to discredit the anti-genocide cause here as a person of dignity and principles when they've been rabidly supporting a regime that has DOGS RAPE HUMANS?

 

[Mona Eberhardt]

They're bragging about having dogs rape Palestinian prisoners (more like abductees, actually).
