Please, let's not. You are making a lot of assumptions in here. Eden is (at the moment, at least) no more guilty of the crimes her country/ies is/are committing than an average American is of the crimes the US committed all over the world since the end of WWII.

how can you people actually be this f*cking dumb?

That Joost incident is so weird I don't think we know the full story. Would they really disqualify him over his comments at the press conference? Cause I feel like in that case Ireland would be more in danger of disqualification...

Eurovision sent Joost home because they found out he was straight

Nemo will be performing, "see you tonight"

 

 

They'll all perform, of course. People are too dramatic in here.

 

There will be some shady comments here and there from the jury votes presenters but I don't see any major disruptions.

"camera woman does not want any contact with AT and Joost" okay so i get that she doesn't want to have contact with Joos because he was directly involved in the incident but her not wanting contact with AT (avrotros??) makes no sense.

I would like to remind everyone that:

• In 2022 6 countries (Azerbaijan, Georgia, Montenegro, Poland, Romania and San Marino) tried to cheat by rigging the jury vote in favour of each other. The EBU did not take any actions against these countries aside from nullifying their jury vote
• In 2013 Azerbaijan tried rigging the televote by bribing people in over 15 countries to vote for the Azerbaijani entry. The EBU did nothing because according to them, ''there was no evidence that any broadcaster has been involved in cheating''
• In 2009, a number of Azerbaijanis who had voted for Armenia's entry during the contest were summoned for questioning at the Ministry of National Security in Baku, during which they were accused of being "unpatriotic" and "a potential security threat". The EBU did not take any serious sanctions against Azerbaijan. Instead, the EBU fined the delegation a laughable 2.700 euros. 
• Later in 2009, a subsequent EBU investigation found that the Azerbaijani broadcaster, Ictimai TV, had blurred out the number for Armenia's entry and distorted the TV signal when the Armenian contestants were performing on stage. The EBU fined Ictimai TV an undisclosed sum and is said to have threatened to exclude the broadcaster from the competition for up to three years if further infractions of the Eurovision Song Contest rules are made.

The EBU did not ban any of these countries for these incidents, yet they found it fitting enough to disqualify an artist after merely a report had been made when they verbally lashed out at a journalist that did not respect their boundaries.

Israel really be controlling the behind the scenes politics, wouldn't surprise me if the 'person threatened by Joost' was paid by Israeli media to lie.

I wonder if a solution at this point will be strictly Eurovision to countries only in Europe at this rate.

I mean, everyone but Israel is getting punished - the EBU even double downed saying that Israel has done nothing wrong. How can one not be suspicious of what strings they're pulling?

I'm not serbian so I'm inclined to say it should be, but not really, it isn't

it's a nation, but not an official country

Besa going head to head with people on Twitter  this queen!

 

 

 

Not the ECHR  I love her 

 

[DUA LIPA]

also at this stage regarding all the information that we've been given, the entire joost dillema seems like such foul play on the ebu's part; how does the incident that was described in the press release (this and the other statements are the only ACTUALY official information we've been given so far) does not warrant one of the three possible solutions that were discussed in the (hour long) meeting that happened between the ebu and the dutch broadcaster/delegation. 

 

by reading the dutch statements i cannot believe they would release them and describe the incident in this way if what actually occurred would differ completely and be of much bigger gravity than how they seem to frame it.

[DUA LIPA]

i mean turkey could pretend they're alright with cyprus for years so there is some sort of case to be made to try to make kosovo happen as well.

lol not trying to be shady, I don't know much about the background of the whole situation, just an honest question. We should focus on Israel tonight.
