israel has now officially been announced as one of the countries participating in eurovision 2024
meanwhile russia is still banned, for the third year in a row. the double standard is just sickening
if you’re european, you should 1) put pressure on your national broadcaster to withdraw from the contest. if the national selection goes through, then 2) pressure the individual artist(s) to withdraw from the contest. if come may, and israel is still participating, you should 3) boycott eurovision as a viewer, 4) pressure local establishments (clubs, gay bars etc.) to cancel their eurovision events, 5) intensify the pressure against your national broadcaster and its representing artist(s). never let them forget, even for a moment, the genocide they’re complicit in.
also, if you’re swedish, you have a special responsibility to protest as you’re this years host country.
