.@Eurovision 2024 is a reflection of the global dynamic. The media, UN, and music elites represent the woke, oppressor, dogma while the vast majority of Europeans and Americans support Israel (and Ukraine) against the evil that is Hamas and Putin. Hence the public vote. 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇦

Norway threatened to boycott Eurovision if Israel participated - finished in last place.
Olly Alexander supported boycotting Israel and received 0 points from the audience.
Eden Golan finished one place ahead of the hateful Irish Blood Witch.
Karma is a bitch, so we don’t have to be 😉😘🇮🇱

These venues shutting down from London to NY & beyond to not air a 20 year old Israeli girl singing in the Eurovision really is a cultish, xenophobic, immoral, racist, dystopian flex. We’re living in a time where the cruelest, most bigoted people genuinely see themselves as light warriors. Our collective consciousness at this juncture is so catastrophically bleak.
Following a massive campaign, yet another LGBTQ venue in London will be shut down for a day to avoid airing Israeli singer at the Eurovision Song Contest.
LGBTQ spaces are supposed to be a safe space.
Queer spaces are not safe for me as a gay Jewish Israeli.
No other people are abused this way. Not Russian gays, not Chinese gays, not Syrian, Iranian, or Qatari gays, not even Palestinian gays from Gaza. Everyone is welcome to celebrate their identity at these spaces.
It is only us Israeli gays who are being targeted.
London is turning into a dark place.
This is excellent

👀 Do you see that ❓❗ It's the first train to use the newly completed railroad infrastructure at #Charlotte Gateway Station.
#NCDOT completed Phase 1 of the project on time and on budget! We can't wait to see more trains in the next few years!
Those trillions could buy us a lot of transit!!
If the USA spends as much as Qatar spent on the World Cup as a % of GDP, it would spend $28.06 trillion for the 2026 games 💀

Would love Northern Pacific to be a success. Essentially the Icelandair of Alaska. I’d definitely be interested in a layover in Anchorage on a trip to Asia. airlinegeeks.com/2022/10/27/…
