In short, Israel will be allowed to compete at Eurovision this year.
What it shows is nothing shocking: that there is nothing – morals, legal consequences, human rights of European citizens themselves – that is above Europe’s desire to maintain its relationship with Israel.
Knowing this was the decision the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) just made, I leave you with one invitation.
It’s rather simple: if you watch Eurovision, yield your power as a consumer.
It’s not much, but you have it.
By using it, you’ll answer two questions that will sound harsh, I know. These are not pleasant parallels.
One, will your love for Eurovision be above anything else — just like the EU’s love for Israel is?
Two, will your desire to watch Eurovision disregard its appalling politics — just like when Zionists defend Israel, no matter its crimes?
It’s all – and more – in my video.
If you have been finding value in my political commentary, I invite you to contribute to rebuilding my friend Mahmoud’s media company. It used to employ Palestinian talent, and he wants to do exactly that again ✊🏽 Find my personal invitation in a video format if you scroll down to my selected Instagram posts.
As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
❤️💔❤️
