A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

What a coincidence. The head sponsor of Eurovision 2026 is once again an Israeli company. And Israel keeps advancing.
Eurovision
Why the fuck is Israel in there in the first place? Fuck that shit, throw those genocide lovers out
Singing and killing.
My country still taking part in this is a fucking disgrace. I've been boycotting the shit for some years but people still like to pretend it's not political, there's nothing going on, it's just a fun little music thing, absolutely nothing going on. It's a farce
Death to Eurovision
favourites
Israel
X for doubt
In a perverse way, I kind of want them to win. I want the organisers to be forced to say the white part loud.
Favorite sponsor
I wonder if the Israeli finale will just be the IOF executing Palestinian kids on a stage. That seems like it's reminiscent of their culture.
I’ve refused to watch or even listen to theirs, same as any others (I haven’t been able to escape my country’s one though, it’s on news and all), and I won’t watch the show for the very same reasons (Israel).
So I don’t know what it is, and hopefully won’t. Which also means this is exactly as plausible to me as anything else. And I would imagine anyone still choosing to watch the thing would be more than fine with that…
I can’t believe an entity like Eurovision lacks the spine to do the right thing, even with some big participant countries/artists/broadcasters pulling out or boycotting otherwise.
I genuinely liked the concept, it was a fun yearly tradition to watch with friends and drink and eat well and all.
Oh oops, now you're an anti semite
So ,my Samsung phone will explode by command off the mossad in 10, 9,8 .

Well they have a tendency to murder the competition so it's easy for them to secure the qualification.
Edit: i just went and listened to them for 5 seconds and it's just trash, i don't know if their language is supposed to sound so "whiny" "biebery" whatever that bleeding heart crap is supposed to be called and drums sound like someone is hitting empty barrels, serious cash changed hands for this qualification...
