Tel Aviv is pouring hundreds of millions into its Hasbara propaganda machine in an effort to reverse its reputational freefall

Public broadcasters from Spain, Ireland, and Slovenia announced on 11 May that they will not air this week’s Eurovision Song Contest in protest of Israel’s participation.

“For the next 10 days, instead of the Eurovision circus, the national television program will be colored by the thematic program series ‘Voices of Palestine,’” Slovenian broadcaster RTV said.

Featured documentaries and films will include Gaza Twins, Come Back to Me, No Other Land, The Voice of Hind Rajab, and The Teacher.

Just endless articles about our song and how it will surely be a winner.

spoilers, it wont be, it's way too "normal" and also just a meh song.

fucking disgusts me how we wont manage to land over the right side of history even once, you'd think we'd luck into it by accident but no. :finland-cool:

Not even once.

It's so pathetic that I just live in a permanent state of disgust around all the nato leftists, the eu stans, the endless slava ukraine bros and all the willfully ignorant smol bean fash who absolutely think their oh so funny "there's still space behind the sauna" humor isn't just deeply fascistic and gross.

Genuinely a country where the vulnerable dying from covid was shrugged away with the ever present eugenism that is like all there is.

Average Finnish person: "Solidarity, what even is that?"
