spain threatens to boycott eurovision if israel takes part in it

[allegedly]

first, is israel an european country? why were they even allowed there?

was a genocide needed to finally people start noticing what israel is all about?

[Morrandir]

theya re a member of the EBU, that's why they are allowed to attend

[Sleepy]

Technically Israelis are Europeans (large % are genetically related to eastern Euros) so they're allowed.

The News suppressed a lot of information about Israel and politicians got hounded out of their jobs for speaking against them especially in the 2000s.
Now that has in theory changed.

that isnt how it works. Explain why Australia are in it then?

bah, anyone still watches that thing?

[Hapless]

None of what euros do will have any impact as long as the US supports Israel.

Australia is just an exception, they were invited only because it was Eurovision’s 60th anniversary and they had the highest viewing numbers for Eurovision so they showed a very high interest in the show

Australia isnt the only exception.

ive watched every Eurovision for the last 30 years

ill just say it.. the person that said because they are genetically related im still laughing..
(EBU) European Broadcasting Union, Israel used to be a part of via (IBA) hence why they are in the Eurovison..

i hope israel is let in IF and only IF their singer is vehemently pro palestine and anti imperialism

[lol]

blame the UK, hitler for signing the haavara act and the USA for creating israel in the first place

It was disgusting what they did to the Israeli in the last one, but that just shows their true colours. More than half of the people with her were murdered from a terror attack and she survived with PTSD. And they'd rather spit on her than have her sing about PEACE, ironic. Just more cold-heartedness, people who are pro-Palestine don't actually care about victims which is why they're not pro-both, they care about agendas, and they're not anti-[insert terror group]. Nevermind they fall for the terrorist lies. The war has been going on one-sidedly against Israel for over a hundred years. Technically, Israel is just the stronger Ukraine. Wait until they realise what from the river to the sea means. Jews support all of the Western modern nonsense, Palestinians are quite the extreme opposite.

yes true everything comes full circle, the israelis kill palestinians in 1948 and onwards when the west created it, and now the world is starting to hate israel, karma for actions
