Aggressively refused to give a shit, AGAIN, they had a whole calendar year to correct their mistakes and mountains of haunting, indisputable evidence and still they were allowed to compete. The absolute temerity of the ESC to pull this AND a flag ban that also hurts LGBT people, disgraceful shit

Frankly, their silence about gaza and the whitewashing of whats happening makes more sense when you look up where is from their main sponsor Morocan Oil :///

Also they have been threatening spanish broadcasting for speaking up about whats happening and they displayed a message right at the begging siding with the Palestinian people

Eurovision is and always has been a huge propaganda machine for Israel, Netanyahu has even said it’s detrimental for the view of Israel in Europe. The Israeli government is behind the thousands of ads all across the world, even though its not allowed. Their broadcaster KAN is a giant mouthpiece for+

+the Israeli military and even had a song sung by children about how they’re gonna annihilate everybody (in Gaza) and make it their own (actually fucking real, look it up), this is not allowed either. It’s fucking insane with how much they can get away with that other countries simply do not…

There's also the pride flag ban despite Eurovision's whole aesthetic being "one big drag show/pride party" so honestly it's not at all surprising it's been slipping into fascism. Let it die, support indie artists independently

Plus they put millions into ads for it.

this is just one big disgusting PR move.

This is the exact reason why I did not watch #Eurovision this year as I didn't last.

It only comes to show were European money really is at. And that is with those who like warcrimes.

Russia was thrown out after it began the invasion of Ukraine, and rightly so, but I guess when it's Arabs being murdered by the colonial settler-state we helped fund and set up, a few thousand war crimes is no reason not to let them play.

Cant cast Isreal out cause of the thing called WW2 that happend.
I mean they should for starting a senseless war just with the whole purpose of a genocide, but somehow Europe fails to put up the courage and kick them out

The UN Human Rights Chief recently called Israel's behaviour "tantamount to ethnic cleansing" and do you understand how fucking bad shit has to be for a fucking UN official to use language like that about a long-standing, western-aligned member state with total US backing???

Just tatamount? That even sounds like it's skirting the issue.

The point is they pay a lot for eurovision, and eurovision execs are absolutely soulless, as they always have been

Also, the whole thing is fucking rigged to the bone, for example uk being second when ukraine won, because some countries "misteriously could not vote", the joost expulsion when he was the one being harassed etc

I shit you not. I got a YT ad from the Israelian singer, asking Swedish people to vote for Isreal in Eurovision. It is such a pathetic and desperate way to feel like you have the EU support, when most people living here don't want them.

Don't forget how western Eurovision members predicated themselves on false platitudes of democratic policies in order to actively vilify countries from the former Eastern Block!
