Ireland, Slovenia, Spain, the Netherlands and Iceland have already signalled they are unwilling to participate if the EBU permits Israel to compete, as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to intensify.
Well that sucks but not unexpected :( Thank you the nations who have not taken the knee
I went to the SBS website to submit a complaint, before realising that you actually can’t submit a complaint unless you specify a date of the program. And then I realised…we’re talking about an event that’s a year away? Surely that’s excessive. The last one wasn’t that long ago.
But yeah, our public broadcasters should not be promoting genocide. They were more than happy to boycott Russia immediately for their war of aggression. Why is Israel given special dispensation for genocide?
Because we live in capitalist dictatorships and Israel commands a huge amount of capital, with pro-genocide cronies across the leadership of most western economies.
