REMINDER TO BOYCOTT EUROVISION

Here's a quick run down of everything they've done + why you should boycott

Despite banning Russia for its actions in the Russia-Ukraine war, Israel is still in the contest (despite committing war crimes, attacking Gaza with genocidal intent etc)

"But Hamas attacked first on Oct.7" - Then why is Israel also bombing southern Lebanon if Hezbollah and the Lebanese government aren't involved?????

Israel often uses ESC as a platform for propaganda

One key example is their promotions for their 2019 broadcast, where they tried to turn attention away from the occupation and portray the country as a liberal haven of democracy, with the lines "... it's a land of war and occupation. But we have so much more than that!" and pointing out its the only place in the middle east where "gays are hugging in the street". (as if the rest of the Levant INCLUDING PALESTINE isn't actually relatively chill when it comes to gay rights)

Another example is them sending an Ethiopian Jewish singer to perform a song called "Set me Free" the same year they stormed Al-Aqsa during Ramadan, which seemed to be very intentionally trying to shift the narrative away from Israel as a colonial occupier, and more as a persecuted people who have finally found safety

As well as the issues with Israel as a competitor, ESC is SPONSORED by MoroccanOil, an Israeli company (ik the name is misleading, but speaking as a Moroccan Israel just really loves to steal our culture while treating our people they stole like shit [I could go on an entire rant ab this but I won't])

So what this means is we can't just boycott this year and then forget about it the next. Until Israeli presence is completely removed from EUROVISION, your views and your money will be funnelled to support an Apartheid regime. I already know people who are still watching Eurovision despite not supporting the occupation, because they love the artists and the spectacle. But no spectacle is worth supporting an Apartheid regime. The best way we can help the Palestinians is by making Israel a pariah state, and pressuring politicians to cut all their funding. That way they won't be able to put down uprisings and maintain the brutal police state they have - at which point they can only resolve the conflict peacefully and end occupation, or find themselves in the throw of a violent revolution. It was these strategies that ultimately helped end the apartheid regime in South Africa, and it is these strategies which can help end Israeli apartheid.

I keep forgetting to post this here so here it is

Found out Kate Miller-Heidke voiced Chili’s mum in the new Bluey episode! She represented Australia in the Eurovision 2019 so here’s a Eurovision reference! Last time I drew Hatari was like 4 years ago so here’s a redraw of that iconic photo lmao

Also, the episode aired on the same day as Eurovision this year! :)

Okay so, when Netta was competing with Eleni Foureira in the 2018 Contest, she did say that Eleni's songs were popular in Israel and that Ti Kitas (What Are You Looking At) was a hit but I didn't realise that apparently Noa Kirel has released a cover

On the flip side, Foureira herself had released a cover version of Nadav Guedj's Golden Boy

Just thought this was cool

I know last year people were joking about how Måneskin were the logical continuation of Hatari because of their kinky vibes, but as much as I love Måneskin, during this entire pre-show eurovision it has become obvious to me that the true inheritors of Hatari's legacy in eurovision are non other than Circus Mircus. The humor, the attitude, the interviews, the outfits. It's like their spirit carried on through them.

Wish anyone had the guts to try something like this since.
