Default Reasons Why Israel should be banned from Eurovision and kicked out of EBU entirely

Quote:
- Broadcast a children's choir singing a song calling for the "annihilation" of everyone in Gaza
- A KAN news editor called every artist who signed Friday's statement as "pro-Hamas"
- Has said that the Israeli artist and song should "tell the Israeli narrative" - despite songs not being allowed to be political.
- Their presenter gleefully autographed bombs while joking about the damage they would do
- Released a comedy skit featuring stereotypes of Christians, Muslims and Palestinians
- Released videos explaining the "Islamisation of Malmo"
every bad **** the israeli broadcaster KAN has done

also expelled by UEFA if possible, and can IOC sanction them too, like they did with Russia

There's no reason whatsoever that Israel should be barred from a song contest.

The Israeli people are not the current really awful Israel Government.

I agree Joey but you could say the same about Russia - the Russian people are not Putin - and no one kicked up any fuss when Russia were out...

I do agree.

I'd prefer to think of music as a uniting vehicle not dividing.

I see Nicky's flipped again. Or is it flopped? I can't keep up.

And I guess the difference between Russia and Israel is that Russia invaded an innocent country while Israel responded to an horrific attack, the murder of 1200 people and the kidnapping of hundreds more. They are two entirely different actions.

I said in the other thread that I'd never argue that the Russia and Israel situations are the same or even particularly comparable, it's more baseline than that - I think you can either exclude an entry on political grounds, or keep politics out of it. As soon as the answer to that political question becomes a "maybe" then a can of worms is opened and various countries would be seeking for each other to be expelled. Someone (and who?) would have to define the "line" that can't be crossed.

It's a song contest so - in my opinion - the easiest and most obvious solution is simply to keep politics out of it entirely, and also make it a rule that the songs/campaigning around the event isn't political, and that political figures and organisations within countries shouldn't be involved with the acts in any way.

"Separate Eurovision from State", essentially. (For the mostpart) it works with The World Cup/Olympics etc. so it should be the same thing here IMO.

It's they same as sport really, politics is not supposed to enter into it but if other countries refuse to play a country unless they are thrown out, there is no alternative.

However lets not forget that a world cup was hosted by Qatar and all the teams were happy to compete even with all the human rights issues in full view.

It's never a fair and consistent decision

the majority of Palestine is also a innocent state though


whom started it, back in 1948, hunger to claim more territory as yours, oh yes Israel


why was Hamas created in the 70's, yes as a means of defence against the israeli aggressor



murder of 1.200 people oh boo hoo, while israel murdered over 90.000 innocent palestinians, lured them first to Rafah before commiting genocide at them


1.200 or 90.000 hmmmm idk which one is more horrible? Netanyahu and his IDF aren't any better than Hamas honestly



i am not one who is ignoring or boycotting Israel at sports or entertainment events though, i have said my honest opinion of their entry for ESC, i was rooting for them at the euro quali's and will also not ignore them during olympics but one can also ask, maybe withdraw out of safety measures to prevent more terror attacks

everything needs to be properly sourced, so i doubt what they post is fake, they also remain neutral regarding this conflict (another one of their rules) they call Hamas a militant political organisation (so not just the BBC who did that)


BBC kinda acted the correct way too, then by remaining neutral to a conflict what is none of your business

Israel is the only big stain on what would otherwise be a perfect ESC year, if not for their attention seeking and drama


oh boo hoo 1.200 people died and as an answer IDF go murdering thousands more innocent lives, yup then you don't get sympathies from me anymore if you answer cold blooded murder with cold blooded murder rather than trying to go for the cleanest approach to fight terrorism (another bull**** excuse from Netanyahu to justify those murders with the fight against terrorism) murdering people who wait for aid ain't fighting terrorism!

This is the second time you've said this in this thread and you wonder why you and I aren't friends anymore. You're a troll.

Tbf doing Satire on Christians and Muslims reminds me of old school Family Guy or South Park.

If anything, well done to Israel for still knowing what Comedy is.

I do agree personally.

While I don't necessarily support all of Israel's actions, I can morally understand their actions a lot more than Russia's actions, which were executed just to be pure evil.

Isreal has the right to declare war on any country that doesn’t give Isreal their 12 points

threads like these are necessary for lovely attention seeking, creating Israel more into a victim, for sympathy votes (which i know it works like that, the more hate Israel gets, the more votes they get)
