In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

Israel’s INGO rules are barring organisations like Save the Children and the Quakers from Gaza and the West Bank. Helen McCue asks why humanitarian aid and reporting are being treated as “delegitimisation”. #Auspol #Gaza
Israel’s NGO rules are shutting out humanitarian aid from Gaza
Rules introduced by Israel in 2025 are being used to block humanitarian organisations from operating in the occupied Palestinian territories, limiting aid delivery and silencing advocacy.

So sorry, but this is my fixation this evening. Earlier news reports suggest the rapist's barrister successfully argued for his identity to be suppressed. Today, after he was convicted, the judge gave him and his family time to say goodbye in a private courtroom. Two counts of patriarchal bullshit.
I get that the accuser's identity is protected unless they consent to being identified. But on what grounds is the convicted rapist's identity still suppressed? If you have the legal knowledge I would love to know!
Why is it that some people can have their names suppressed when they have been found guilty of a crime? Would the 'legal reason' be in support of the victim or the perpetrator?

People need to boycott this show and not just half ass. Shame everyone who plans on watching it. This isn't about Eurovision, it's about Israel getting away with committing genocide because THERE ARE NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES. They should be untouchable by now. Everybody needs to walk the fucking walk.
Eurovision has allowed Israel to compete in 2026.
Ireland, Spain, Slovenia, and the Netherlands have pulled out of the competition following the decision.

It’s all transparently bullshit and immune to rationality, but if struggling to stabilize half a burning boat to avoid drowning is “getting back in the fight,” what they’re really saying is there’s nothing the survivors could have done to avoid being killed. And that definitely isn’t the law.
