JERUSALEM - Israel has launched a PR campaign to counter calls for a boycott of the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest final in Tel Aviv, using Google ads which refer to the boycott but lead to a glossy website extolling Israel.
Internet advertisements on Google featuring the words"boycott" and"Eurovision" encourage searchers to click on a link that, in fact, leads them to a pro-Israel website which - in a play on the BDS initials - extols Israel as"Beautiful, Diverse, Sensational". "After its theft of Palestinian land and culture, Israel is now trying to appropriate a symbol of our nonviolent resistance," said Alia Malak, of the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel , which oversees the BDS movement's academic and cultural campaigns.
Security was tight during preparations amid fears that activists may seek to disrupt the competition. Last year New Zealand pop singer Lorde cancelled a planned trip to Israel, and Argentina's football team, with its star player Lionel Messi, called off a friendly match against Israel. BDS dismissed the allegations as"propaganda lies." A spokesman for Twitter said it had"suspended a small group of accounts for violating regular spam rules."
I would rather piss glass than having anything to do with doing business with israel. Until they end this occupation and act like decent human beings towards the people who's land they invaded 75 years ago. don't give that god said it's ok crap. there are 10 commandments by god.
Eventually, Apartheid will be a big a downer for Israel as it was for racial South Africa - this does not end well.
I ❤️ Israel

How Eurovision played into the latest flare-up between Israel and GazaMilitants in the enclave said they saw an opportunity to pressure Israel to ease restrictions. Don't call continuous oppression of Palestinians, who are in an open-air prison, who have constant human rights violations committed against them, as a 'flare up.' You get a flare up with hemorrhoids, not with systematic acts of genocide. Genocide in left'ish/democ.RAT'ish = Population increase of over double over the last 50 years. Murder and Gassing of Syrian civilians? Who cares, Jews aren't doing it. Hardly the song contest's fault...
