How much sorrow can a heart bear?
Genocide at the Eurovision Song Contest
The video is very instructive - we never watched the 2019 Euovision (because Israel), so I had never before seen their happy little 'Ignore all the apartheid and the killings, look you can do some great shopping!' song, which made me absolutely speechless. (No, I am NOT exaggerating.)
If you go direct to the video there are instructions of how to contact your broadcaster.

ETA: Managed to forget this!
debunking the conquest narrative
facing one of the hardest narrative arcs in the Bible armed with the truth of what really happened

And I have posted this before, but it's important context: Vox: the Story of the Nakba

Onion article from 2018: IDF Soldier Recounts Harrowing, Heroic War Story Of Killing 8-Month-Old Child

And finally, Dimash's The Story of One Sky (I wonder what would have happened had they played THIS at Superbowl...):
Dimash Qudaibergen’s 12-minute work is dedicated to the unity of people on our planet. We are all divided into races, nations and religions, but we are all children of one planet and live under one sky. Life is the highest value.
No sacred book calls for the destruction of people. We must learn to be friends; it is impossible for a few adults to cause millions of children to suffer. The future of our planet, the future of people is in our hands, let there be peace in the world.
We are children of one Home, one Earth and one Heaven
It is painfully relevant. I have a post here digging into the story & the layers etc, but mostly I want to quote something Dimash posted on Instagram two years ago:
"Nowhere has it been that millions of adults suffer because of children, but millions of other people, including children, suffer because of a couple of adults.
Dear initiators of war and the slaves of billions of blood money interested in this, look at this photo [of planet Earth in space] and think about what your real greatness is before the Almighty."

Actually, let me finish with (utterly heartbreaking) poetry from Palestine:
Poem by Marwan Makhoul
Poem by Khaled Juma
ETA2: Crips for eSims for Gaza <- a simple way to help
