Eurovision got in trouble last year for allowing Israel to join. Israel is in the middle east of Asia, not in Europe. The only thing European about Israel is that white people are committing a genocide to steal land.
Israel has been part of Eurovision since 1973, has won four times, and hosted the contest three times. Dana International was the first trans winner.
This year's artist, Yuval Raphael, was attending the Nova Sukkot festival on October 7th 2023.
Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunesia, Algeria, and Morocco are eligible to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest. They have been mostly boycotting it because of Israel's participation.
They didn't get "in trouble" though there was definitely some drama. I would argue that Israel should have been disqualified under the rules requiring independent national broadcasters, the way Russia and Georgia were.
Israel being part of Eurovision isn't a new thing. The only difference is that they've been going mask off on their genocide aspirations lately.
More the hypocrisy for having denied entry to Russia while allowing Israel's to remain.
The actual terms for entering are being a part of the European Broadcasting Union; which includes Israel and Australia, despite the "European" in the name.
Well, Australia is also in the Eurovision.
They spent years broadcasting the contest without a license and people loved it so much the state broadcaster even held voting just for fun. They only got an official broadcaster booth in 2012; before that they snuck their commentators in on press credentials!
In 2013 they submitted a short video about how much Australia loves eurovision that was played during the contest.
In 2014 they were invited to send an interval act, and they knew they had to really do it if it would get them an invite to the actual contest! They sent a good song and were invited to the 2015 contest! It was supposed to be a one off, but they keep getting invited.
Yeah, I love that story. To me, that's what Eurovision is about.
White people committing genocide to steal land. Checks out. That's the criteria for entry.
