MODERATORS
As have Spain and the Netherlands
They're not gonna change anything until the viewership quits, plain and simple.
That's right! I quit today.
This.
And sadly there's a vast majority of European viewers of the ESC that are totally fine with Israel's actions. After all... it's over there to some brown people. Eww. Keep them away from Europe.
In the Netherlands one of the state channels organized the eurovision and did the broadcasting. They were the ones that decided on the boycott.
Now one of the other channels announced they will go the broadcast. Which is so stupid, because it completely misses the point.
Does the viewership make money or the sponsorships? Because an Israeli owned company is the top sponsor.
Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands and Slovenia had threatened to boycott Eurovision if Israel remained in the competition
That's the real answer, it's a fucking music contest, if that's too important for countries to boycott over this, then fuck those countries for their implicit support of ongoing genocide
Aight. So fuck Eurovision.
Israel's participation should bring down Eurovision.
They have a year and a bit to get the Trump City Gaza casino complex ready to host 2027.
Moroccanoil seems to have enough money to buy consciences
Goddamnit! Now I gotta find a new shampoo.
I guess they made a choice. We'll see what the consequences will be and how they handle them
Read the article. They didn't vote on Israel paricipation. They only voted on new rules to prevent televote stuffing.
So the headline is correct then. Israel remains in eurovision
Yeah - they could have though, but choose not to. Grow a spine
".. Truth is, I thought it mattered. I thought that music mattered. But does it? Bollocks! Not compared to how people matter."
I learned that quote from the sampling used by Chumbawamba before I watched the movie.
Shame on the EBU. I guess I’ll see if they learn their lesson in 2027.
