prevail!” screams the man on stage, as two leather-clad women gyrate in cages behind him. On a pedestal above, a man in a black leotard slices the air with a staff shaped like a toilet plunger. Meet Hatari , a self-described “anti-capitalist,[bondage-discipline-sadism-masochism] techno band”.
The politicisation of Eurovision is nothing new. The victory of a bearded drag queen from Austria upset social conservatives in Belarus and Russia in 2014. Russia was also peeved about Ukraine’s win in 2016 with a song about Josef Stalin’s deportation of Crimean Tatars. In 2017 Ukraine banned Russia’s candidate, who had performed in Crimea; this year Ukraine’s act withdrew to avoid a ban on singing in Russia.
No one has yet pulled out of this year’s event over the host country. But some fear Israel will not allow in contestants who have voiced pro-Palestinian views. Hatari think they might be banned by Eurovision’s organisers. The rules state that “no lyrics, speeches, gestures of a political, commercial or similar nature shall be permitted during the Eurovision Song Contest.” Save them for the wrestling match.
By all means, put on a performance criticizing Israel's policies. Then, criticize Shariah in your performance in any of the Arab countries practicing it. Have Europe evaluate the aftermath in each.
Apparteid appeasement.
I think that's not entirely accurate.
I don’t even care to read about it. Ew.
And who gives a fuck. Israel is not Europe and nobody watches this euro utopian garbage anyway. REALLY. I am Dutch and you already know which country is going to give what to another based PURELY on political ties. Turkey ALWAYS gives 0 points to Greece. Germany/France friends

Pro-Israel, Jewish NYU students file civil rights complaint for “extreme anti-Semitism” on campus“Anti-Semitism is real; it should be fought. But tarring NYU as tolerant of anti-Semitism is wrong and unfair,' said a university spokesperson. Yup it’s not because of Trump and the “Jews will not replace us crowd”. It’s because of liberals caring about Palestinians.
