@AJEnglish I think it’s time for ‘l2014 coup installed Kiev govt to give up fighting the Donbas Ukrainians. The Donbas Ukrainians opposed the 2014 foreign supported coup and defended their 2010 democratically elected President.
A Russian attack has damaged port infrastructure in Ukraine’s Danube River port city of Izmail, a vital grain-export hub, while Russian authorities said they had downed four Ukrainian drones headed towards Moscow ⤵️ aje.news/xdsfs9
@AJEnglish I think it’s OK for citizens of the Israeli regime to attend as long as they fly under an independent flag and in no way promote or represent the regime.
Bulgaria has won the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time as Israel, whose participation had triggered a boycott from five countries and protests over its genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza, came in second aje.news/mfu1ng
Este año no estaremos en Eurovisión, pero lo haremos con la convicción de estar en el lado correcto de la historia.
Por coherencia, responsabilidad y humanidad.
@AJEnglish Don’t forget the Israeli regime’s invasion of Lebanon, occupation of West Bank and Golan Heights as well. Just didn’t want you to miss any of the reasons many people won’t have anything to do with Eurovision. Was Lebanon, Gaza and Iran allowed to enter the competition?
@AJENews The 2014 Ukrainian coup kicked all this off. That coup overthrew democracy with ‘foreign assist’. The people voted in 2010 in one of the best attested democratic elections in history. The brave Ukrainians of the Donbas fought back.
@AJENews@AJEnglish Good for Iran. They continue to face down incredible sanctions, attacks, trade shipping blocks in Hormuz, etc, yet still trying to get their country on a good footing. You have to admit, a very resilient and courageous people.

@BRICSinfo Of course it’s not right. The US have attacked Iran, blockaded its shipping through the strait, sanctioned it and are complaining that Iran won’t let US shipping through. We now live in a Twilight Zone “Bizarro World”.
Cuba faces worsening nationwide disruption after officials say the country had completely run out of diesel and fuel oil, triggering severe blackouts and a partial collapse of the national power grid.
Residents in Havana have endured 22-hour electricity cuts amid a US blockade.
Israel’s Eurovision performance was disrupted by loud pro-Palestine protests during the Vienna semi-final, with chants condemning Israel’s war on Gaza heard throughout the arena.
Security removed several demonstrators from the venue.
@AJEnglish@elizondogabriel Does it ensure Iran’s intl shipping can continue uninterrupted. Does the resolution stop Israel’s attacks on Gaza and Lebanon. Does the resolution guarantee safety for Iran by preventing further US attacks. Otherwise, waste…of…space.
A Bahrain-led UN Security Council draft resolution on the Strait of Hormuz is gaining support, with 112 co-sponsors, and calls for the protection of maritime navigation through the waterway.
Al Jazeera’s @elizondogabriel has the latest.
@AJEnglish Eurovision rules & principles are a disgrace. It’s important that any winners not be recognised in any way and if Israel wins,Eurovision organisers should be indicted by the ICC for supporting/promoting a regime that has engaged in a genocide in Gaza & illegal invasion of Lebanon
Israel has advanced to the Eurovision 2026 final in Vienna as five European countries boycott the contest over its participation. Critics have compared Israel’s inclusion with Russia’s 2022 exclusion, while Amnesty accused Eurovision organisers of “blatant double standards”.
@AJEnglish@elizondogabriel Why don’t they put together a resolution to prevent further illegal attacks on Iran, Gaza and Lebanon to ensure Intl Law is upheld. Until they can do that and also stop the illegal blockade of Iran’s shipping, they shouldn’t be discussing anything else.
