I found this article (About last year's Eurovision and the love of Israelis for Poles, i.e. making people feel guilty for the Holocaust, no, you can see what kind of propaganda they have in Israel)

"After the competition, the representative of Israel, Noa Kirel, commented on her performance in an interview for the Ynetnews daily and referred to receiving 12 points from the Polish jurors (the highest possible score).

However, when speaking, Kirel referred to… the Holocaust, and the artist's words were interpreted as accusing Poland of murdering Jews during World War II.

– To receive 12 points from Poland after almost the entire Kirel family was murdered in the Holocaust – it's a real victory! – said the singer.

– My real victory was to put Israel on the map, leaving a mark and making my country proud of me. These are my greatest achievements, Kirel added"

I found a petition related to the exclusion of Israel from Eurovision

Ah, yes, the most famous Pole in the USA, whom only 13-year-old boys like

Yes, this guy is from the same party as this guy

Yes, the guy used a fire extinguisher to put out the Hanukkah, but unfortunately, he didn't do it as a protest for the freedom of the Palestinians, but because "There is no place for religious acts in the parliament" (Yes, that was the reason, so don't count on it being the reason extinguishing Hanukkah, you could be noble, but still shitty, but at least there would be some "healthier intentions" than that)

There was also a guy in the same party who made a drama about Lola's bunny boobs, but it's not that interesting (I mean, in context)

Yes, I found something like this in Google Images, so it says a lot about our society (Although it's strange how many people supported Braun, in my country, because you know, the "Sejm" is not a place for religions, i.e. classes, ok, as I mentioned , I might have a different approach if it was a motive for rebellion against Israel, but in this situation there is no such thing and he's just a garbage person from a garbage government platform)

The guy looks like he's been attacked by whiteboard erasers

But yes, such strange things, from an Israeli artist suggesting that Poland was guilty of the Holocaust, a petition to cancel Israel from Eurovision and this strange guy with a fire extinguisher

Boycott Eurovision

[heritageposts]

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

[liesmyth]

btw! I was made aware that many people don't know that we're boycotting Eurovision this year, so.

we are boycotting Eurovision, as per BDS guidelines.

don't watch the stream, don't engage with the videos, don't post it about it on social media using hashtags that are going to trend. whatever you're getting from the show isn't worth it

the bds movement has officially called for a boycott of eurovision 2024.

While Israel actively commits a genocide and prepares to invade Rafah, Eurovision helps it spread its war propaganda. Boycott Eurovision.

[crazy-minded-girl]

The eurovision channel posted Israel's song on yoututbe. DO NOT INTERACT WITH IT AT ALL. I cannot stress this enough. Do not watch it, not even to leave comments in favor of Palestine. Not even to dislike it. The algorithm doesn't work that way. Just report it. Make sure to do the same on any other streaming platform you use. Block the artist. Report her even. But DO NOT engage with the song in any streaming platform. Also don't use the hashtag eurovision.

BDS has called for an official boycott of Eurovision2024

Everyone...you know what to do

[ID 1: text on a black background reading: "Boycott Eurovision: Artwashing Israel's #GazaGenocide". The Eurovision logo is edited such that red barbed wire appears over the heart in the center.

ID 2: a tweet from "PACBI - BDS movement" @/PACBI reading:

We call for the boycott of #Eurovision2024". We urge all participating broadcasters, national competitors, finalists, production crews, and viewers to boycott the contest following the refusal of the organizers @/EBU_HQ to ban genocidal Israel. #BoycottEurovision2024

End ID.]

🇵🇸 From BDS:

The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI), a founding member of the BDS movement, calls for the boycott of Eurovision 2024. We urge all participating broadcasters, national competitors, finalists, production crews, and viewers to boycott the contest following the refusal of the organisers, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), to ban genocidal Israel. Palestinians call on supporters to launch creative, strategic initiatives that can pressure broadcasters to withdraw, and appeal to all participants to refuse to be complicit in the EBU’s whitewash of apartheid Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza. Venues and events organisers planning Eurovision screening parties should refuse to do so, and instead hold Apartheid-Free or Genocide-Free alternative Eurovision events, including teach-ins/workshops/panels about Israel’s cynical pinkwashing and artwashing.

BDS has now, as of today (2 Mar), officially called for a boycott of Eurovision 2024, and for organizers to launch initiatives to pressure broadcasters and participating artists to withdraw from the competition.

For more info, see the BDS alert.

It's also worth noting that the song Israel will be competing with this year is called 'October Rain' (yes, seriously).

regarding the genocide song contest:

various past eurovision contestants are campaigning for the removal of israel and some national finalists are now choosing to boycott. olly alexander, who will rep the uk, condemned the palestinian genocide and was subsequently attacked by israeli media (in a blatant rule violation the ebu did nothing about)

slovenian broadcaster rtvslo is purportedly trying to negotiate the removal of israel

1000 artists from host country sweden are preparing to send an open letter to the ebu to ban israel; the swedish left wing has also called for israel to be removed immediately

iceland is officially threatening to boycott eurovision pending the removal of israel

word on the street is that if iceland does compete, it will send palestinian artist bashar murad who is openly anti-israel and has collabed with previous icelandic reps hatari, aka the guys who did this back in 2019

iceland is now leading in the odds whereas israel has been steadily dropping, suggesting that the bookies are aware israel is becoming increasingly unpopular

lastly, in a move so ridiculous i'm beginning to suspect eurovision is a figment of our collective imagination, israel is seemingly gearing up to enter eden golan, a moscow-based russian singer. while russia is still banned for terrorism.

if you're european: please contact your participating broadcaster and demand for the removal of israel, or try to contact your nation's selected artist to put pressure on the broadcaster. if you're swedish, please try contacting svt or authorities with security concerns regarding the inclusion of israel. if israel does enter eden golan, complain about her selection and ties to russia. and absolutely DO NOT vote on, watch or promote this show if israel does end up competing.
