MoroccanOil is main sponsor of Eurovision, and it is Israeli company.
It’s all about he money, babyy
Ban Russia from everything, but obviously Israel is a “special case” where the rules of humanity has been suspended so they may do unto others, what was done to them.
Israel shouldn’t be allowed to participate in the first place.
They should have been thrown out once it got clear that their response to October 7 turned into a genocide.
They’re not in Europe, so they should have never been eligible to participate.
This is not the reason why they should be out. They are a part of the EBU and therefore eligible.
The war and genocide is a clear violation though and got Russia kicked pretty fast when they invaded Ukraine
They should be thrown out of EBU and any other European association a long time ago.
Well akshually you only need to be within the European Broadcasting Area to participate; Middle Eastern countries other than Israel just don’t.
Then how does Australia get a pass?
They’re a long time affiliate member of the EBU and big Eurovision fans, they were invited for the 60th Eurovision (IIRC) to mark the event and they’ve just stuck around.
Meh, same goes for Australia, but I see your point.
If Eurovision is non-political, invite Russia back to participate.
No fucking chance. The hypocrisy is astounding. Butchering innocent people is okay when the perpetrator is friendly to the west.
Lol, just now? Eurovision has been political charade the entire fucking time. It’s not “best artist wins” it’s friend countries voting for eachother.
Being a popularity contest is not a problem. It’s always been like that, it’s “whatever”. Like it, don’t like. Doesn’t matter.
But Israel manipulating votes to “artwash” genocide is a whole different bag of cats, and very wrong.
Its gotten worse for every year
