By not voting either Republican or Democrat or anyone sold to AIPAC. Let us rot if needed. When fund is out for us, we won't have money to support the genocide. May be people will realize that we are giving handouts to Israel.

Republicans and Democrats are only in the US. What is the rest of the world doing?

[-] GoodOleAmerika@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

True. Specially Germany. Supporting genocide like it's 1940s

You know when all those nutjobs kept saying that Israel-Gaza was a fight of civilisation against barberism. Maybe they were right but had the actors the wrong way around?

Some of worlds oldest Christian churches were in Gaza and it's not Muslims destroying them.

They have been doing this since 1946.

Germany’s foreign ministry said on Saturday it is “deeply concerned” about the situation in Gaza, and that the offensive “could put the lives of the remaining hostages, including those of German hostages, in danger”.

Saw another post about an arrest of a pro-P Feddit mod, and generally about DE siding with Israel to bizzarre/dystopic lengths. Didn't know they had hostages in the mix as well. Could that be a reason? Relying on Israel force to get them freed? Hm. *format edit

German government moved from openly supporting the massacare of Palestinian civilians to doing it behind closed doors.

Their words hold no importance. Look at their actions only. Germany supplies 30% of the weapons for the genocide.

How many are starving or dehydrated to death everyday?

Try to wipe out just one little ethnic group and no-one will ever shut up about it.

Position of the Spanish Public TV and Gov

Spain's public broadcaster RTVE defied Eurovision rules by airing pro-Palestinian messages during the 2025 contest, despite warnings of sanctions from organizers[^1][^2].

Before the May 17 finale in Basel, RTVE displayed text stating "When human rights are at stake, silence is not an option. Peace and justice for Palestine"[^1]. Their commentators Julia Varela and Tony Aguilar also cited Gaza casualty figures during broadcasts, prompting the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to threaten financial penalties[^2].

The controversy escalated when Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called for Israel's exclusion from Eurovision, claiming "double standards" compared to Russia's 2022 ban[^3]. RTVE is now requesting an audit of Spain's public vote after Israel received maximum points, questioning the validity of the voting system[^4].

The Spanish broadcaster had previously requested formal EBU discussions about Israel's participation in April 2025, citing "concerns raised by various civil society groups in Spain regarding the situation in Gaza"[^5]. The EBU maintained that all members remain eligible to compete while acknowledging "deeply held views around the current conflict"[^5].
