How it works

In every case, the environmental hazards were made known only by independent scientists, who were often bitterly opposed by the corporations responsible for the hazards.

Άδωνις Γεωργιάδης: Είμαι ευτυχής για τη θέση του Ισραήλ στη Eurovision - Οι Ευρωπαίοι στείλαμε ένα μήνυμα

Την ικανοποίησή του για την πορεία του Ισραήλ στην Eurovision εξέφρασε ο 'Ελληνας υπουργός.

"Είμαι πάρα πολύ ευτυχής που παρά το φοβερό μπούλινγκ έως και εκφοβισμό, απειλές κατά της ζωής της και όλα όσα είδαμε να έχουν συμβεί (η εκπρόσωπος του Ισραήλ πήρε την πέμπτη θέση στη γενική κατάταξη και τη δεύτερη στην ψηφοφορία του κοινού). Με τα γιουχαΐσματα μέσα στην αίθουσα από ένα κοινό εμφανώς εχθρικό προς το Ισραήλ, σε μια πόλη της Σουηδίας που έχει πολύ μεγάλο ποσοστό μουσουλμάνων. Ως γνωστόν, σχεδόν είναι όλοι μουσουλμάνοι εκεί. Με μια σύμπτωση πολιτών, αριστερών κινημάτων και αριστεριστών κινημάτων της Ευρώπης μαζί με τους ισλαμιστές σε πλήρη συμμαχία κατά του Ισραήλ", ανέφερε ο υπουργός Υγείας και προσέθεσε:

"Η κυρία αυτή όχι μόνο τραγούδησε πολύ ωραία, αλλά πήρε και τη δεύτερη θέση, [ TΕΛΙΚΑ 5η ] την ψήφο του ευρωπαϊκού κοινού. Οι Ευρωπαίοι πολίτες που συμμετείχαμε χθες όλοι στην ψηφοφορία της Eurovision, στείλαμε ένα μήνυμα. Αυτή η καινούργια περίοδος αντισημιτισμού που έχει γεννηθεί στη Δύση, υποβοηθούμενη από την ανοησία της άκρας αριστεράς, που δεν αντιλαμβάνονται ότι αν ποτέ επικρατούσαν οι δυνάμεις της Χαμάς στην Ευρώπη, δεν θα μπορούσαν να βγουν από το σπίτι τους", κατέληξε ο Άδωνις Γεωργιάδης.

Δεν θέλουν να εξασφαλίσουν καμία πολιτική ουδετερότητα, θέλουν να φιμώσουν. Οι Ουκρανοί χθες μια χαρά φορούσαν μπλουζάκια που καλούσαν σε απελευθέρωση των ναζίδων του Αζοφσταλ που κρατούν οι Ρώσοι. Κανείς δεν ενοχλήθηκε, αντίθετα με τον Ολλανδό που έκανε ένα λάθος σχολιάκι ή την Ελληνίδα που χασμουρήθηκε.

Πρόκειται για καθαρή υποκρισία: Οι περίφημοι χορηγοί δεν ενοχλούνται με τις πολιτικές απόψεις αλλά με τις αντίθετες πολιτικές απόψεις.
