If Israel has lost Eurovision enjoyers, their reputation is officially in the shitter.
It should not even be able to participate, its in fucking asia.
Those protests were particularly vocal after the title of Golan’s entry was announced in February: “October Rain,” an apparent reference to last year’s Hamas attacks, in which Israeli officials say about 1,200 people were killed and 240 taken hostage. The European Broadcasting Union objected that the title and some of the song’s lyrics were overly political, and asked Israel to change them. Golan tweaked the song, which is now called “Hurricane.”
just in case anyone wonders why
"October rain" refers to the countless bombs raining down on Palistinians.
I thought it referred to the helicopter gunships blowing up Palestinians and Israelis indiscriminately when they rained down on 'suspicious' people in the concert in the immediate aftermath
“Hurricane.”
Al Aqsa flood 💯💯💯💯💯
Lol when even EBU is (marginally but still) on the right side of history, you know the hasbara is fucked up.
Dw they also said a pro Palestine song from Ireland has to be redone
Israel gets to be in Eurovision? What a sick joke!
They had a copium article in the Swedish press the other day whereas the headline asked something along the lines "why is Israel allowed, but not Russia?" and the answer was basically some bullshit that Russian public service didn't fulfill some criteria and this has definitely nothing to do with politics, as they kept reminding you that "Eurovision is not about politics!".
Lmao Serbian TV yesterday interrupted the Eurovision broadcast to show Xi arriving at the airport 
And here is at the airport, a perfect emoji
:xi-wave:
I'm from China, take me to Yugoslavia! 
Chants of "murderer" from the crowd
that's how you know you lost the plot
Speed running pariah state status lol
It's astonishing how shitty they've managed this. They could have just... um... not done pogroms against children in a concentration camp, but I guess the fascist blood lust and death drive is too powerful to tame. Not even the most "both sides" brained lib hidden behind 7 layers of carefully curated media obfuscation can ignore the dread they feel knowing children are buried alive in the rubble.
It feels so childish. Their "now it's my big shot!" logic came out after the Hamas raids like one of those 90s game shows where you got a shopping cart and 3 minutes to get as much shit as you can. And you're at home watching some kid get like 9 of the same toy while clotheslining shelves yelling "go to the video game section you fuckwit! BE SMARTER THAN THIS!"
Joe "Mr Beast" Biden: "Listen, Jack. Here's a $100 billion to spend on weapons, bribes and hasbara. You get to grab as much land and as you can, anything you grab, it's yours to keep."
Israel: goes for the hospitals, kinder gardens and journalists
It's ridiculously stupid. It's the sort of thing that makes me wonder if Empire's dominance really has lead to their next/this generation of legionaries/acolytes being totally inept.
It's moronic to wage an all out war, when really they could've probably turned it into a cheap labour pool like they did to Panama and El Salvador back in the day, while still maintaining total hegemony in the area. Give them their 'independence', but make sure all of their leaders are 'our [USA's] guys'. If they act up they get struck by the sanctions whip, the economic warfare that liberals are too poorly informed to understand.
People being blown up by missiles on the other hand? Liberals know it's poor optics to support that.
Here's a mirror on Streamable, in case your nation is bravely protecting your mind from Chinese CCP Communist Party influence.
or in case you don't want to deal with tiktoks deeply annoying webbrowser UI (thanks comrade)
i'm not going to be watching this year (or at least, not live or legally) but i really do wonder how much the BBC/EBU/etc will have to cover for. like, there is a 0% chance that NONE of the young, progressive, deeply online participants will say/do something on the night, plus the crowd, plus the occasional stage invader. one performer has already been bitched at for daring to wear a keffiyeh despite the fact that he is part fucking palestinian. genuine insanity.
like, all the EBU had to do was say that israel's song wasn't good enough to qualify this year and they could have avoided all this. instead, i've now had lib friends asking me what BDS is because they heard about it in eurovision discussions 
Will made a good point in the latest chapo ep. The frothing support for Isn'treal by the west is the wet dream of every anti-semite. If you do not know the ins and outs of Imperialism, you really are lead to believe that Israel, and by western definition jews, control the west.
Ireland's contestant was already ordered to change their Gaelic "Free Palestine" body paint after the semifinal.
Anti-genocide message: disqualifying
Eastern European Nazi state: here’s your automatic win, Sieg Heil
Genocidal settler-colonial “country”: you poor baby I would take a bullet for you
HOW DARE THE IRISH SUPPORT COLONISED PEOPLE 
hell yeah
YES
thank you Malmö for being based
love to see it
Honestly it’s little things like this and Kristi Noem eating shit that make my day brighter.
Can someone mirror the video? My government is protecting our children begging in the streets from TikTok brainwashing.

Sadly I could still see Israel doing really well. Even if most people think they shouldn't be there, you can only vote for a country, not against them, so a minority of hardcore supporters can carry them pretty far.
Israel wins Eurovision because of hardcore zionists voting 300 times each
Eurovision will be held in Tel Aviv again
The Zionist entity falls before the end of 2024
Can't wait for Eurovision to be hosted by free Palestine
"The Socialist Scandinavian Soviets awards..."
"12 points to reunified Ireland"
"10 points to reunified Korea"
"8 points to the United Native states of America"
no stop i need blood in other parts of my body too
This gives me some hope at least
Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
No anti-nautilism posts. See: Eco-fascism Primer
Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
its because of the European broadcasting network they share. Morocco and Lebanon have been past contestants.
