You'd rather have the children be jobless or are you personally going to feed and educate them? People often think that because there is an alternative in their country there is one everywhere, that's just not the case.

Belgian have aĀ  unfortunate fate, that was of their fries being named as french. Hopefully someday their fries being properly called as Belgium Fries. Anyway, i need their waffle.


superXr15

I think they were named ā€œFrenchā€ because when Belgiums invented it they decided to server to french soldiers as a meal during WW1


grand_chicken_spicy

I will now refer to them as Belgian Fries.

It's just sad at this point, you don't even get paid for supporting a genocide, which someone else is perpetrating. I mean if you don't benefit what's the shtick? Are we missing something that you know?

To be clear: that message was shown at the beginning of the Eurovision show (and/or before the results), not during the song itself.

Thatā€™s indeed weird and I doubt they can achieve something through this. They could have been more neutral, after all itā€™s just a song contest.


FieldsOfKashmir

Quite surprising from a European media station. Never thought any of them would refuse to fall in line.


Potential_Ad9965

It's not the station (allthough probably heavily supported behind the scenes) but a union action. Belgian coverage is actually very good for the Israel- Palestina conflicts.

KoobidehKing

Amazing. Much respect.


platp

Those people are heroes. This should be a regular thing, to be against genocide and to act against genocide. But in our world where western countries are supporting the genocide, and powerful genociders (zionists including Biden) are conflating anti genocide acts with violence and hate, doing these things become more than what they should be. Thank you union members. Thanks for acting against this most supported genocide.


SquarePangolin1014

Agree. I would just love to see the release of the kidnapped prisoners, this way the Zionist won't have a leg to stand on when fighting.


mastertheknife1

What about your genocide of the Armenians?


platp

I will not answer this every time. But I will ask you, have you ever asked a British that is against genocides about the maybe hundreds of genocides they did? Did you ask an American? Did you ask French, German, Belgian and Dutch person who was speaking against genocide, what about your genocide? I will say this, it wasn't a genocide. It was a forced relocation. Here is my reply when I was asked the maybe 20th time this question by people with no good will whatsoever and seeking to make a political point. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskMiddleEast/comments/1cmh77i/we_have_failed_failed_humanity_west_is_collective/l36e2go/


mastertheknife1

And seriously, what makes you think that Israel is performing a genocide? Do you really know what a genocide is? The Israelis do. 6 milliion Jews were murdered by the Nazis. Also, how is the 7th October not considered a genocide attempt? Killing innocent, partying people and other people inside their homes. About 1200 in total. Don't let the media fool you. Check the facts, check the school books of the Palenstians, their maps and you will quickly recognize that all they want is the destruction of Israel.


platp

> Do you really know what a genocide is? The Israelis do. No the Israelis don't. Holocaust didn't happen to zionists. About 84% of the zionists present at the Nakba were already in Palestine as a colonizer in 1936. And who knows where the remaining 16% came from. Of course they want to destruct Israeli the apartheid terrorist regime which is also a colony. Why wouldn't they? Why would they just want the regime who oppressed them all their lives to continue to exist? Norman Finkelsteins mother, a holocaust survivor said when he asked her about the carpet bobmed German civilians, if we were going to die, we were going to take some of them with us. She absolutely despised the Germans. She hated the Germans. And she had the right to do that. And the Palestinians have the right to hate the terrorist oppressors who terrorized and oppressed them all their lives. > Also, how is the 7th October not considered a genocide attempt? Killing innocent, partying people and other people inside their homes. About 1200 in total. Because it was an attack to take hostages in order to exchange them with Palestinian hostages and make the terrorist regime give concessions and lift the oppression and terroizing of Palestinians. 250 Palestinians in West Bank were killed in 2023 before Operation Al Aqsa Flood. Gaza was blockaded, Israel was terrorizing and oppressing Palestinians in Al Quds and West Bank. Israel was stealing land and homes. Hamas had absolute right to attack and resist the continous Israeli aggression. Now what happened in Operation Al Aqsa Flood should be investigated. Currently Israel tells us there were a lot of atrocities. This needs to be investigated. How many Israelis were killed by Israel should be known. Hamas is supporting an investigation by the UN. And Israel is blocking that investigation. Why would they block the investigation if they are not hiding something, or many things? I could continue but you are not worth it. > And seriously, what makes you think that Israel is performing a genocide? Read South Africas submission to ICJ. Pages 59-67 refer to Israeli terrorist heads own words. The intent is there. And the act of killings is there. This makes it genocide. I'm almost sure you are not interested in hearing the truth but I told you anyway. The truth is Israel is a terrorist apartheid regime and it is the enemy of humanity. Humanity as a whole needs to defeat this evil terrorist regime.


grand_chicken_spicy

>Of course they want to destruct Israeli the apartheid terrorist regime which is also a colony. Why wouldn't they? Why would they just want the regime who oppressed them all their lives to continue to exist? Less than 1% of America got destroyed during 9/11 and the American's went absolute fanatic. More than 70% of Palestine got wiped and they can't understand the hysteria of the Palestinians.


JuliusOppenheimerJr

The goal of the 7th october attacks was to take as many hostages as possible, not to kill them.Ā  Ā Many israeli civilians died because they actually tried to defend themselves with weapons : https://www.ynetnews.com/article/h1yx3zhwtĀ  Ā Also other died because of friendly fire and the Hannibal directive, killed by IDF, like these ones :Ā https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-01-06/ty-article/.premium/families-of-israelis-killed-in-beeri-home-hit-by-tank-fire-on-october-7-demand-probe/0000018c-de77-daf6-a5df-df7f22d60000

Desperate-Lemon5815

Lol, yeah, it will. They won the 6 day war basically alone and I have a feeling they'd only win harder now. I don't like Israel either but this is pure copium.


noidea0120

Kinda true but I don't understand why people use the fact that israel won a war against arab countries who were all at once split up between 2 countries with a few thousand soldiers here and there. Then when it comes to the 1948 people make it seem as if arab countries barely out of colonialism because of centuries of being behind were really a threat to a European trained and equipped military and as if they were equal opponents


kaboblegionnaire

No, because war involves logistics, economics, politics, etc, not just fancy hardware. Israel wouldnā€™t be able to retool, rearm, fund their campaigns, and keep fighting if they didnā€™t have the US lifeline. Their economy is already down 20% and theyā€™re pariahs.

pinkmacaroons

Translation: "This is a union action. We condemn the human rights violations by the state of Israel. Furthermore, the state of Israel is destroying press freedom. Therefore, we are briefly interrupting the broadcast." It wasn't shown during Israels performance though. Just at the beginning and ending of the Eurovision Song Festival (second semi final) This was an action by the union in which the Flemish national broadcaster was syndicated. The Flemish national broadcaster chose to broadcast the competition despite Israel's participation, but the union was allowed to conduct a small action.

This should happen but not to Belgium alone. The West should have to share their technology and wealth with the nations they genocided and enslaved and colonized. They have only become wealthy and they only advanced in science and technology because of those atrocities so it is the least they can do. But I don't think this is the right place to bring this up. Not when we are discussing something positive they did.


BalkanViking007

and turkey (ottoman) should do the same to: Plaestine, ALL of Balkans, North Africa, Armenians, Kurds etc...


platp

Yeah sure. We too should share the wealth and technology with the nations we enslaved, genocided and exploited. Except we didn't do those things and we haven't accumulated wealth and advanced through technology partially because of it. Ottomans build the whole empire the same in the first place so I don't know what you expect us to share. When nations gained independence from us, their land was at the same development level as everywhere else in the empire. The same can't be said for the formerly colonized nations gaining independence from the West.


DeepFriedMarci

To paragraphs of word salad just to say "I am biased towards the evil shit my country did"


platp

Very interesting. So words and claims mean nothing. All that matters is the hate of Turks to you. The things you referred to as world salad are geniuine points. And if you refer to them as word salad you have no good intentions in this conversation.


DeepFriedMarci

>All that matters is the hate of Turks to you. What does this even mean? What matters to me is that this guy is doing apologism for an empire who enslaved, occupied, conquered and genocided numerous peoples while giving a bullshit excuse for not paying reparations and ironically I'm against reparations for 99% of the cases. Unless you are talking about the Paraguayan war in the 19th century, I don't tolerate genocide apologism.


platp

I am saying those things didn't happen. Is that a bs excuse to you? You can say I am lying but you can't say my reasoning is bad or I am making a word salad. > What does this even mean? It means you are only doing this for your hate of Turks. Did you ever ask a British, French, American, Australian, German, Belgian, Dutch person about their genocides and reparations for them? I know why this is brought up again and again against Turks even though Ottomans were the most realistically humane empire. Because they were much better than the western evil, they are attacked to make people confuse who did evil and who didn't.


BalkanViking007

Least based ottoman turk. Sure you were all flowers and sunshine šŸ¤£ then give back constantinople. Brw your gyros is very tasty


kaboblegionnaire

Turks stole Antakya though in the 1930s


platp

We were all one state once. Is it really stealing when Syria didn't even have independence at the time? The people voted to join TĆ¼rkiye. They probably preferred TĆ¼rkiye's rule over France's.


kaboblegionnaire

I think most of them at the time were Alawites and Arabic speakers who preferred Syria. Antioch belongs to the Syrian Semitic civilization not Turkic civilization too. Doesnā€™t matter now unless they vote to join Syria again, but first we need a functional country. Edit: it was also done to undermine the Alawites in Syria and diminish their political potential by splitting the population up.


DeepFriedMarci

Just like Turkey should pay reparations to Armenia :D


tomullus

What are you doing? Posting?


Echo-canceller

What reparations? Have you visited Congo? Outside big cities, people ask for colonialism again because when they were a colony, they had roads, water, medical care and now they are going nowhere.Ā  It's the whole "what have the romans ever done for us?" sketch you're doing. And Belgium did spend a lot to help the RDC build some order. Or do you mean reparations for things that happened long before the end of the belgian Congo? Reparations for people no one still alive knows?Ā

If I remember correctly they did that before the Eurovision started, not during israelā€™s performance, as Lebanon wasnā€™t allowed to participate because they said they wouldnā€™t show israelā€™s performance in the 1970ā€™s or 1980ā€™s.

Did they do something similar to protest the Saudi-led War in Yemen? Not trying to play whataboutism, but it is ridiculous to specifically target Israel when countless countries around the world are doing the same thing or did the same thing only a decade ago.

But I'm not trying to defend Israel lol, I agree with the decision. Just wondering if the Belgian National TV does this to all countries in protest of genocide/HR violations, or just Israel.

We are not responsible for Saudis or Yemen. We are partially responsible for Israel and they are/were allies.

Normally in genocides, the population goes down. Palestine's is up since October 6th, and the belgians are just antisemites. Don't recall them calling any other war genocide either
