Imagine throwing your wallets at Israeli artists when you can't bother to hear their performance.
Why the hell is Israel even in Eurovision? They ain't in Europe last I checked, unless Eurovision is just a code word for white people performing.
They're within the European Broadcasting Area like all countries adjacent to the Mediterranean Sea (plus some adjacent ones). Bring in the EBA is more important here than being in Europe is. There's no reason why Egypt or Iraq can't participate.
Okay, there is one – most Arab countries refuse to participate while Israel does. But if Israel didn't participate they'd be perfectly fine with showing up.
Oh, and there's one big exemption: Australia can participate because they've been such big ESC fans for so long that we invited them for the 60th one as a one-off and then decided to keep them in because they're cool. It's pretty wholesome, which is very much in tune with the spirit of the ESC.
That and Australia is an associate member of the EBU as it uses interoperable technologies.
Another one is that Moroccanoil, a big sponsor of Eurovision, is an Israeli-owned company.
Oh, and there's one big exemption: Australia can participate
Oh, another European settler-colonial project? Wow, what a wacky coincidence.
They're a European settler colonial project. I'm surprised Canada isn't part of Eurovision.
I mean Iceland's involved so I don't see any necessary problems.
Possibly since Australia is in Eurovision
Eurovision has been absolutely stupid for about 10 years now.
Okay, I'm as pro palestine and anti-isrsel as any reasonable person, but this is simply misinformation.
They were not dropped for being anti-genocide, they were dropped because they very litterally called on people to murder their local Tory MP.
And imo outright calls for political assassinations are pretty reasonable grounds to cancel someone's shows.
Wow, that's why they got dropped?
Kneecap just keep getting cooler
yeah man...what does the lgbtq spokeam from hamas have to say about it? nothing, rite?
"they don't support gay so killing their kids is ok"
Is that what you meant to say? Because that's what you said.
see, thats why they get so little support. your argument keeps falling short all the time. you fling shit arguments like if you dont hate on israel or do hate shitty iran proxy hamas you are genocidal. and you can keep shouting this shit as long as you want, but i am telling you this decreases support for gaza. if you cant say death to hamas, you are not in a position to talk about being humane. not at all. hamas is an evil terrorist group that rapes and kills, for example my favorite djane. with every time you reply like you just did, isreal gets another day of free genocide. it is you that is enabling the killing.
Nothing, he was killed a year ago, when Israel bombed a hospital. One of the 48 confirmed times they bombed a hospital. You know, that war crime that they routinely do.
He's asking Israel to stop massacarring gay Palestinians.
Sorry, I'm having trouble understanding you with that boot in your mouth.
