I mean, regardless of your opinion on the current genocide, Israel is definitely, objectively, not in Europe.
Neither is Australia.
The Eurovision is not called that because only European countries can compete, but because it was created by the European Broadcasting Agency to showcase their new network standards that let you broadcast across Europe way back when.
That said, Israel should be excluded if for the genocide, for last year’s harassment of other competitors.
Apparently being a European settler colony is good enough to participate lol. Maybe America can join in too.
Nah, I’ve heard Eurovision is generally a good, well-liked thing, no reason to let us ruin that.
The Aussies earned the right to be included by simply being wholesome around the event.
Israelites at the event bullied their biggest competition into a bad mistake resulting in the most european song getting cancelled.
And while i don’t think the singer deserves personal backlash the fact that they dubbed it for tv to cencor the yelling of the audience sets a real bad precedent.
On another note “sponsored by marrocanoil” felt disgusting to read every time it came up.
Huh, TIL
