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.
❤️💔❤️

Israel: The Only Country Whose Actions Never Represent Itself
If it is not its ministers, navy, police, prison guards, people marching on the streets, nor settlers protected by the army, who, then, actually represents Israel?
