They can’t ban Israel, that would be “political” (banning Russia was a no-brainer tho)
Eurovision is the cultural arm of
Isntreal and being in Europe… LOL these people love saying quiet parts out loud

I mean, Azerbaijan is part of Eurovision, too.
You get to be part of eurovision if you are in Europe or doing ethnic cleansing. Them’s the rules.
pedant mode to say it’s not called Eurovision because it’s for Europe, Eurovision is the name of the television network (hence Israel/Azerbaijan/Australia)
calling it the Channel Six Song Contest would be the same thing
Remembering that time at Eurovision when Ukraine got the pity win and the lead singer shouted “Slava Azov!”
They really say the quiet part outloud by letting
compete in a contest called “Eurovision”Americans when they name their sportsball finals the “World championship”.
We have this discussion every year It’s because of the tv network they’re on.
is an occasional contestant and 🇱🇧🇲🇦 have been on it to.Yeah, but it’s not like they’ve historically been a part of EBU. They are the newest member, only joining in 2017.
edit: only sorta true
They’ve been in it since the 50s, just that they relaunched their public broadcaster in 2017.
Oh yeah, you’re right.
iirc there was some posturing about kicking out britain after brexit though
edit: i looked it up and i think it was actually just right wing tabloids trying to claim that the big scary EU was trying to bully britain over it leaving but it was basically invented out of thin air
Australia is also in it
Easiest boycott ever.
I’ll keep up my praxis of giving zero shits about this clown show
The only principled boycott America has ever participated in, even accidently.
I’m calling from now that Israel will win with a very emotional, musically bland song about “terrorists” and hostages
Their song is about October 7 but they’ve been asked to tone down the lyrics and while originally saying they would refuse they’ve now agreed to do it. They’ll engage in genocide but don’t even have the spine to stand up to spineless Europe.
Alternatively:
- A German love song to “Israel”
- Someone from the Reddit belt with an upbeat song about slaying the Russian orcs
- A terf islander singing about how she wants a man who is not woke
I’ve never paid attention to Eurovision.
But I’ll boycott them even harder this year.
This will be the easiest boycott ever, Eurovision is terrible and I have never cared.
Eurovision has always been terrible, which is why I’ve followed it religiously.
I’m gonna be watching Corner Späti’s Gyrovision instead.

Thought it was the time England got 0 points, but this is better

Look, you might not like this Eurovision, but it’s the Eurovision we have, and you have to vote. If you don’t vote for the Austrians, then the Ukrainians or the Israelis will win, and that’s just much worse. Abstaining does nothing, abstaining is a vote for Israel. I don’t like it, you don’t like, but that’s just the way it is.
Next year we can focus on doing good, but right now we need to vote out the fascists. And honestly there’s some fine songs this year, don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.I used to love Eurovision but over the last three years, as I slowly turned into the Joker, I just can’t be bothered with it anymore
Am portuguese, never cared about this shit and only had to pretend I did when salvador sobral won in 2017
I’m still mad about Sweden winning last year. My boy Käärijä was robbed.
the serbian twink also got robbed smh
Oh, I thought Ukraine was supposed to win until the war was over. I don’t pay attention to it
You o ly get one free Eurovision win when you’re having a war, otherwise Europe would be in flames
