Cuba's Health Miracles While Under Blockade (5 June 2026) Nuvpreet Kalra, co-ordinator for the international Bases off Cyprus campaign & CODEPINK’s Digital Content Producer [1,826 words]

Cuba makes these miraculous achievements for humanity while facing a blockade that causes shortages of medicines in pharmacies across Cuba, blocks researchers from accessing health journals, and prevents the entry of equipment, spare parts, and laboratory materials that could make it easier and faster to conduct research. The U.S. blockade should be seen as an attack on humanity itself. This is a genocidal act of war against a population that exports doctors across the world by an empire that exports bombs, fighter jets, and invading soldiers.

[...]

The U.S. enforces its blockade on Cuba so that it can try to claim Cuba is a “failed state”, which also means its universal, free healthcare system “fails”; all so it can maintain its abysmal healthcare system that operates purely for profit, despite the level of death, bankruptcy, and suffering it causes to poor Americans.

The truth is that even with this genocidal blockade, Cuba maintains the principles of its revolution and the motivation to better the world.

I know Wplace is kind of a shitty website, but if anyone wants to come help restore the Palestine flag, it would be appreciated. It's located near Fargo North Dakota.

This is what the flag used to look like

Major media outlets have largely told the story of Cuba's medical missions through the voices of U.S. officials, politicians and U.S. government-funded "experts" who portray Cuban doctors as victims of "forced labor." Rarely do audiences get to see the missions themselves — or hear directly from the doctors still serving in them.

In our latest documentary, From Cuba to Calabria, we follow Cuban doctors as they travel from the island to work in public hospitals in one of Italy’s poorest regions. The film offers a rare inside look at a Cuban medical mission, letting the doctors speak for themselves about why they volunteer to leave their families and travel thousands of miles to care for patients in another country.

THE 2026 EUROVISION Song Contest was watched by 131 million viewers, organisers said Friday, down 35 million on the year before after Ireland and four other countries boycotted over Israel’s participation.

Bulgaria won the contest for the first time with Dara’s catchy floor-filler “Bangaranga” sweeping the 70th edition of the world’s biggest live televised music event, with Israel finishing in second place. The UK finished last.

RTÉ joined broadcasters in Spain, Slovenia, Iceland and the Netherlands in deciding not to send an act or air the contest in protest at Israel’s participation amid its war on Gaza.

The 2025 contest was watched by an average audience of 5.8 million people in Spain, and 3.5 million people in the Netherlands. In Ireland, RTÉ’s broadcast of last year’s contest garnered an average of 268,000 viewers.

This year’s Eurovision was held in Vienna, with the grand final taking place on 16 May.

Protests were held in Vienna over Israel’s participation, and chants of ‘stop of the genocide’ could be heard during Israel’s performance in the semi-final.

The contest is run by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), the world’s biggest public-service media alliance.

“While some of our figures are naturally lower without those of our five members who chose not to participate this year, we remain committed to doing everything possible to find pathways back for them in 2027,” said Eurovision director Martin Green.

Big Nordic audiences

The biggest share of viewers watching Eurovision was recorded in Finland (93%), Sweden (86%), Norway (83%) and Denmark (79%).

Across the board in 35 measured TV markets, the grand final attracted an average viewing share of 42.6%.

The share for viewers aged 15 to 24 was higher, at 54.8%.

The EBU noted that viewing figures were down 3.8 million in Poland, 3.7 million in Britain and 3.3 million in France, compared to those for Eurovision 2025, held in the Swiss city of Basel.

Eurovision garnered more than a billion views for content on Instagram this year.

“It’s fantastic to see the impact the Eurovision Song Contest is having on young audiences globally,” said Green.

“The hundreds of millions reached via our digital platforms also underlines the Eurovision Song Contest’s 70-year evolution from a TV show to a true global, cultural, multi-platform phenomenon.”

People in 148 different countries and territories cast votes for their favourites.

Outside the 35 participating countries, the biggest votes were received from the United States, the Netherlands, Canada, Spain, Ireland, Slovakia and Turkey. Continue Reading - https://www.thejournal.ie/eurovision-viewers-down-israel-7062161-Jun2026/
