Greta Thunberg accuses Israel of ‘artwashing’ reputation through Eurovision
Greta Thunberg joined a Stop Israel march in Malmö, Sweden, where thousands protested Israel’s inclusion
once again greta is right
She is a legend and I hope she knows it. I love how she sticks up to what’s right and doesn’t limit her activism to climate change alone. It goes to show how climate activism is all about human rights and dignity which makes her activism against the genocide in Gaza not that surprising to me.
If its true that you know a person by their enemies, Greta Thunberg deserves a state of herself in every city.
She's on Mastodon at @gretathunberg@mastodon.nu. Not the most active user, but not dormant either.
She deverses a statue in her state as well.
Didn't knew she was antisemitic. /s
Boycott eurovision
entering eurovision has never improved any country's reputation
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Greta Thunberg has accused Israel of “artwashing” its reputation at the Eurovision Song Contest after she joined pro-Palestinian protesters calling for a boycott of the event.
Israeli act Eden Golan, whose emotional song Hurricane was reworked from a previous track called October Rain, thought to be a reference to the Hamas attacks on Israel, will take part in the final on Saturday evening.
Thunberg said: “People from all over Sweden are gathering in Malmo this week, where Eurovision is taking place, to protest against Israel’s participation in the competition.
Israel has denied any accusations of genocide, which is a specific crime when certain acts are committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group.
The demonstrators, who were condemning Israel taking part in Eurovision amid the conflict in Gaza, walked through the streets of Malmo from Stortorget to Molleplatsen.
The event’s organiser said it would not censor the audience and encouraged the crowd to “attend in the spirit of the contest, embracing its values of inclusivity, celebrating diversity and being united by music”.

And then deployed anti-boo filters and artificial applause to censor the audience booing and shouting "free Palestine" as the representative of the fascist apartheid regime was performing.
