Velvet Night Posted May 9 Posted May 9 Unless some miracle happens and Israel gets banned, I've personally come to peace with not watching the show this year. After continuously seeing the atrocities in Gaza, my values are that human lives are more important than a song contest. I don't think I can support an event that promoted "unity" while allowing this to go on. 3 1
ZeroSuitBritney Posted May 9 Posted May 9 Half this thread being contributed by an anti-Palestinian dupe account. The obsession is real. 2 1
Both Sides Now Posted May 9 Posted May 9 (edited) Give me a break. Eurovision doesn't want to be political but the Israeli song was originally called October Rain hastily renamed to Hurricane. Palestinian flags are too political but there will be hundreds of Israel flags flying while same Israel flag that has been planted in Rafah. Eurovision doesn't want to be political but there is a song called Fighter sang by an Israeli-Luxembourgish woman who dedicated the song to her terrorist IDF brother. Eurovision is a propaganda tool that has no problem being political. They just are openly on the side of the genocidaires. Edited May 9 by Both Sides Now 13

Palestine already occupies all the media headlines. We don't want to hear about it at Eurovision. We Europeans don't want to hear about the genocidal state of Israel either, and there they are, imposed by the organization
byzantium Posted May 9 Posted May 9 The EBU might as well ban pride flags if they are going to consider the existence of a people as controversial and "political". This just proves all their behavior with Russia in 2022 was mere pageantry. 3

PoisonPill Posted May 9 Posted May 9 Good for the contestants for still daring to protest against the official rules! Though I feel bad for the Israeli teen contestant who's getting boo'd and receiving death threats. She didn't choose where she was born, she's just trying to fulfill her dream as a singer like all the other contestants. 1

Sure … Quote Golan was requested to change her original track, entitled October Rain, after it caused controversy. The song was thought to allude to Hamas kidnapping and killing Israelis and was then changed to Hurricane, which was approved by the EBU.

dumbsparce Posted May 9 Posted May 9 I don't undestand why Israel wasn't banned this year if only to avoid awkwardness and online backlash. I mean everyone still tuned in so I guess there was never any risk in the first place.

Quote Propaganda is the dissemination of information—facts, arguments, rumours, half-truths, or lies—to influence public opinion By saying Israel is not barred because they're not doing anything against EBU's rule and giving them a performance slot where they promote their country what exactly do you think they're doing? Lol
