The one positive to come out of this awful incident is that the section of dual carriageway where it took place has had its speed limit reduced from 40 to 30mph.
This has taken place largely as a result of campaigning & hard graft by @betterstreetsforbirmingham.org ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿

I get that but Israel is a sovereign state outside of Europe.
It's never made sense to me.

Again, you have to ask 'why?'.
At a geographical level, Israel is not in Europe so why was it ever a member of the European Broadcasting Union?
None of it makes sense apart from projecting soft power to make its apartheid more palatable to western nations.

It is crap and our world feels smaller as a result.
Eurovision should be and has been a unifying event.
However, it has given us greater strength to support each other and find alternatives that aren't drenched in blood.

It's been a firm fixture of our calendar for decades. You have to ask why Israel were included in the 1st place?
We didn't attend Birmingham Pride this year after decades of attending too due to unsavoury sponsors linked to the Gaza genocide. Great performers have stepped away for the same reason.
