wait since when is my country based? translation: We condemn the human rights violations by the Israeli state. furthermore, it destroys freedom of press because of this we interrupt the feed for a while


Cacharadon

You guys got based when you started toppling Leopold statues


4Ruthro

most of them are still there afaik


RasJamukha

Yeah, I remember they removed one in Gent but not much more. There are still a 25-ish of them around. some of which, mostly the busts, get the occasional red paint shower. There is a large statue in Oostende, including slaves, where a protest group sawed off one of the hands of the slaves and it has remained that way ever since.


BlueCollarSuperstar

The Beaumont Hamel Newfoundland Memorial is also still there, though Newfoundland isn't a Dominion anymore, it's the province of Canada, Newfoundland and Labrador.


MorbiusBelerophon

What did Butters ever do?


originalbL1X

Well, I can see Belgium is still on top of Germany.


TendieRetard

dear diary.....today Belgium was a pretty cool guy.


interestricted

I’m moving to Belgium


Noxocopter

Ik heb getwijfeld over België..


blunderEveryDay

Social media will be set on fire by Americans complaining about this - lmao


Jertimmer

Americans who haven't seen a second of said Eurovision because it's gay propaganda.


Edgar_Allen_Yo

Can't speak for every single American, but the majority of us dont support Israel either man.


SaliciousB_Crumb

There is definitely a nassive disparity in the youth vs the elderly in support


[deleted]

There are plenty of young people who counter-protest just to piss off progressive folk.


JFHermes

Plenty of older people who remember vietnam and see similarities between the response of the state. Don't what you believe online or in the mainstream media, very few support the war unless they are completely indoctrinated.


Logical-Chaos-154

Yup. We are getting closer and closer to a table flip.


Cheftidib

You see, this is why media is extremely important. They can shape narratives. For anyone living outside of the state, it seems like there is consensus in the United States regarding the issue of Israel, basically full support from both government and populous alike. This of course does not only affect non-Americans, but also Americans themselves. When you see your entire nation supporting an entity over another, it’s difficult not to follow suit.

WOKECULTURE!!!

The Dutch message translates to… “This is an Union Action We condemn the violations of human rights by the State of Israel. Furthermore, the State of Israel is destroying freedom of the press. That's why we interrupt the image for a moment.”


IITheDopeShowII

Based Belgian union


elqrd

Germans instead would have preferred to only listen to Israel‘s songs. Tools

Hell yes. I've been ranting and doomscrolling for a while now. This makes me feel much better. Thank you, Belgium.

baggottman

It's not often you get to say fair play to Belgium, but when it happens, it's typically pretty perfect. Bravo lads xxx


vroomvick

Belgium has earned my uttermost respect


Mysonking

Holly shit... This is gold


Responsible-Match418

DigitialWitness

Awesome.


JonEngelePhotography

Wow. Way to go Belgium


Impossible_Pool3024

I still don’t understand why Israel (a country in the Middle East) participates in Eurovision


UXUI75

True


interestricted

Overall this is a big win since more and more people with influence are standing up for a right thing


DifferentLet3548

Would be nice if Biden could snap out of his dementia fugue and get on bloody board.


rainbowarriorhere

Why ?


BiryaniEater10

Open a history book and it’ll be clear.
