I welcome the wave of countries recognising Palestine and threatening to boycott ESC, but it saddens me that it took this long. Gaza has all but been levelled to rubble and the west bank is being occupied. It feels a bit too late, and the cynic in me can't help but think this change of heart is exactly because Palestine is basically about to disappear.

They had to wait, in case palestinian had means of resistence. Surely you wouldn't want to support terrorists! /s

Hopefully the Global Sumud Flotilla can reach the coast and get the aid into Gaza.

And then? This will just be intercepted bi Israel and will help very little.

I did. I still don't see how Israel isn't just using this website too to track and block all boats?

I think it has more to do with Trump alienating everyone and countries in the world are using this as a pressure lever.

Also, this should have happened years ago just based on Israel ratfucking Eurovision specifically, on top of them being a genocidal terrorist state.
