Pendulum Posted March 29 Posted March 29 1 minute ago, FOCK said: Yeah.. and that is of nobody's interest. Just boycott Eurovision or pretend as if Israel is not participating and move on. Discourse that could've actually have an impact should've happened months ago, not now. Any potential pro-Palestinian entity at this point will be backed into a corner unfortunately. 1
Green Tea Is Green Posted March 29 Posted March 29 The whole excusing genocide cuz its against an anti-lgbt state thing is weird as ****, all states were anti-lgbt at some point, did they deserve to DIE? there'd be no one left atp if that was the case, a state can't evolve towards better rights for all of their people when there's no people left, the amount of dumbasses around is incredible In regards of the withdrawing thing, I get it'd be dangerous for one artist to do so but if all these people who chose to made an statement decided to withdraw together things would be very different, the EBU can't afford to lose that many competing countries (and hopefully more joining in) even if Germany isn't happy about kicking out that shithole
Dante Posted March 29 Posted March 29 putting Serbia in death spots 3rd year in a row is so xenophobic

This user is Lebanese, and I'm telling you, artists dropping out is the course of action I'd like to see. An organisation advocating for Queer Palestinians is telling artists, dropping out is what they want to see. These western saviour complexes and presuming they "know better" what the Palestinians need & want is high key pathological at this rate. Okay, great. No one is telling you not to express your opinion. I disagree that it’s an effective course of action. 1
elvenOCEAN Posted March 29 Posted March 29 It is mind boggling to me that so many people would think the EBU -- European Broadcasting Union -- would even consider, let alone actually decide, to ban -- Israel --- out of all the countries, knowing our recent and still very much relevant history. Not to mention the fact that Europe (all of our governments, first and foremost) as a collective firmly stands behind Israel in pretty much everything and will likely never (or at least not in the near future) do anything that could jeopardise the relationship we've established with them. There may be a great deal of people who are (rightfully) outraged at what is happening in Gaza, but there is a decent amount of (less vocal) people (not including those in positions of power) who are firmly on Israel's side in all this. Random artists dropping out of the contest literally wouldn't change anything. If anything, their participation and potential "protest" (in whatever shape or form) during the season/contest might end up more effective. 1 1

Televote is also gonna be way lower than Loreen's I agree. The jury pattern since 2021 seems to be: top 3 consisting of 2 accessible ~baits + 1 well executed pop bop, and #4 being televote winner/huge pre-contest fave. The first two are probably France and Belgium, the pop girlie is for sure Italy. And The Code is definitely not winning televote (or ending up in its top 3 for that matter), so... I'm not seeing where the points for a Switzerland win are supposed to come from
