"Thus I clothe my naked villainy with old odd ends, stolen forth of holy writ, and seem a saint when most I play the devil"

F*ck Israel - this is what your state will forever be associated with now

And yet the world won't even ban you from Eurovision ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ

#Israel must immediately be *BANNED* from all sporting events worldwide, as well as #Eurovision, as was the case with #SouthAfrica during the abhorrent apartheid era. The #Olympics, #FIFA, #EuropeanSoccer and #Eurovision cannot allow this genocidal nation to continue participating...*BAN THEM NOW!*

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ #SLOVENIA: Future Eurovision Participation Under Consideration RTVSLO, the Slovenian national broadcaster, have released a statement regarding their future participation in the Eurovision Song Contest. RTVSLO, has sent a letter to the EBU calling for action toโ€ฆ

Damn RTVSLO! Go Slovenia! If only other broadcasters had an inch of their moral clarity. Slovenia has, the ESC would be in much better health. Let's all agree that Israel's continued participation both morally and artistically completely compromises the contest

Including Israel Has Brought Shame to the Eurovision Stage The Eurovision Song Contest claims to celebrate unity, diversity, and peace through music. But in 2025, those ideals are collapsing under the weight of hypocrisy. By allowing Israel to participateโ€ฆ

Eurovision 2025 will not go down in history for any music or performance.
The competition will be remembered as it should be, an awful attempt to pull the veil over war crimes committed by one of the members.

Isn't it crazy that Slovenia is the only country with balls in the entirety of Europe? Why aren't other countries doing this? Slovenia ATE as usual

Israelโ€™s Campaign to Win Eurovision Went All the Way to the Top

โ€œDaniel Levy, the president of the U.S./Middle East Project think tank, said that Israelโ€™s government was โ€˜desperately trying to find soft power venuesโ€™ and that Eurovision was one of the few opportunities it had left.โ€

"Absent real reform, we risk turning Eurovision into just another vehicle for state propagandaโ€”exactly the fate the EBU has spent six decades trying to avoid."

Spain's PM calls for Eurovision to ban Israel, the first European leader to do so

They're not. We just want Israel banned from Eurovision because being in eurovision not only normalises what theyre doing as something acceptable, but also goves them a platform to spread thsir propaganda.

Why is Israel still in Eurovision? The answer is more complex than you might think | Chris West The war in Gaza means the European Broadcasting Union is risking its liberal reputation, but to ban Israel would be to undermine the organisationโ€™s fundamental purpose, says author Chris West

"The current Israeli government is not a practitioner of peace. In the long run, the EBU must set clearer rules for eligibility so that the contest really is about โ€œlove, love, peace, peaceโ€. This year, Eurovision will not be an easy watch for the thoughtful fan."

Lol Eurovision wouldn't let the eastern bloc compete until the USSR fell while also letting Israel compete the whole time, even hosting one Eurovision on occupied Palestinian land

Anyone who claims Eurovision is apolitical is lying or stupid

If I was in charge of Eurovision Iโ€™d be desperately trying not to turn off a generation of viewers who will be integral to its survival rather than appeasing a genocidal regime? But thatโ€™s just me.

Meanwhile, @eurovision.tv keeps on fighting against everyone else, allowing Israel to participate the event.

What makes Israel different from Russia? Money ๐Ÿค‘
Shame on you, Eurovision!

About 60% of the countries have their own national selection shows to pick their act. This usually occurs between December - Mid March. Then, throughout April, there's a European tour for preparties and interviews etc. And then May is for rehearsals and the shows.

I just think it's a very weak joke song. Very one note, doesn't change, doesn't build, the jokes get repetitive and boring, and the staging is bad
