Putting aside my own bitterness about my country not winning, the Eurovision began after World War II to promote peace and unity between Europe. To heal divides and create ties to prevent future wars between the countries. 
Israel bombed the Gaza strip today. What they are doing goes against everything the Eurovision is supposed to be about (costumes and glitter aside). What Israel did today should disqualify them.

also, the whole toxic masculinity “men need to learn how to be affectionate with each other and then they’ll stop hating women” bullshit is so america centric. there are many parts of the world where men would act in a way that, according to american standards, would be feminine. there are many parts of the world where men are touchy-feely with each other and wear bright colored clothing and guess what? those men still hate women. those men still think that women are beneath them.

it has nothing to do with ~toxic masculinity~ and everything to do with misogyny. stop insinuating that once men learn how to be ok with hugging each other they’ll stop thinking that women are useless bitches.

in argentina, men salute each other with a cheek kisses, hug each other constantly, are v affectionate with each other, and still, there’s one femicide every 18 hours !
