Those persons so amoral that they voluntarily choose to participate in "Eurovision Song Contest" (ESC) with its actively and selectively targeted whitewashing of ongoing genocidal acts, war crimes, crimes against humanity, should therefore be considered a threat to society and to you, so you must shun those persons until they credibly demonstrate that they have understood that humanity is more important than their personal profit and/or believed fame, in perpetual infamy.
Such behavior can not be tolerated by any society claiming to value even the most basic of human rights such as to not be tortured or mass-murdered.
The ESC has always been extremely political, choosing to actively support and whitewash dictatorships and other atrocities while suppressing speech for democracy and human rights.
We MUST force them to progress from their old position of thus knowingly and actively choosing to support e.g. mass-murdering Fascist regimes of Franco and Salazar while suppressing protests against such from the start https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6JIgE4qeRY&t=3437s of those appearing even so publicly they could not be ignored.
For this reason I have for as long as I have been able to make my own decisions refused to have anything to do with the ESC, boycotting also every artist that chose to participate and so should you.

During the Eurovision Song Contest's semi-final event, once again whitewashing crimes against humanity as the extremely self-politicized event has been actively selectively doing at least since granting PR-aid to mass-murdering and mass-torturing Fascist dictators Franco and Salazar, this time of Netanyahu's genocidal war against the Palestinian People,
Public Service TV in Belgium broadcast was interrupted by a workers' union message
───
This is a trade union action.
We condemn the human rights violations of the state Israel.
Furthermore, the state Israel is destroying the freedom of the press.
Therefore we temporarily interrupt the transmission.
Israel's participant has also many times made personal statements to the press associating their participation with explicit endorsement of the ongoing atrocities, for example just before the semi-final saying "such and honor to represent my country, especially during these times".
It is a selective act by the competition management, as Russia (which is in Europe) was actively excluded over human rights violations, but when Israel does the same they claim to be "neutral" and refuse same response.
"Tens of thousands of people" participated in demo yesterday under banners of "NO TO GENOCIDE" and similar in Malmö, where the semi-final of the atrocities-whitewashing machine Eurovision Song Contest took place at the time.
As you can see it was very claim.
The police chief of Malmö even commented that "It has been calm and fewer crimes in Malmö than during a normal week".
Pro-genocide people have been spreading videos of violent clashes and destruction claiming to be from the demo to discredit it, but those videos are from 2009, 15 years ago.
People only fabricate facts like that if they know they must to win, because they know reality doesn't support their position.
Netanyahu made a statement regarding the anti-genocide protest claiming it was a part of a "horrible wave of antisemitism", once again implicitly declaring genocide as an innate ethnic trait of all Jews, an absurd statement which is pure anti-Jewish racism and a welcome boost for actual Nazis' propaganda and recruitment.
The defenders of crimes against humanity, cops, even had time to go chill at McMurder while waiting for more anti-genocide protesters to arrive.
This morning about 40 protesters occupied the lobby of the main office for YLE, Public Service broadcaster of Finland, to demand YLE boycott the Eurovision Song Contest over Israel's participation while Israel continues its war against the Palestinian People with genocidal acts and war crimes, which the protesters point out are being whitewashed through the song competition.
"There is space for more [people] and we also are not stopping people from coming to work but only want to remind them about what is happening in Gaza", said protester Wilhelm Blomberg,
also pointing out that YLE's director responsible for creative content and media, Ville Vilén, had said in January Finland may leave the competition if the conflict in Gaza would worsen, asking "My question to Vilén and to YLE is that when is it significantly bad to pull out of the competition? [...] They still have opportunity to show their support for the Palestinian People and to stand up for human values".
The protesters' demands were specifically for YLE's boss to talk to them regarding the demand for a boycott of the Eurovision Song Contest finale.
YLE's chief of security said that the protesters left about 10 a.m.
Now there is also an article in English on that

Another demo will start in 20 minutes against the Eurovision Song Contest allowing itself to be used by Israel to whitewash its ongoing genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, in the host city Malmö in southern Sweden.
The previous demo according to major news-media at the time had "tens of thousands of people" participating.
Pic of the people gathering now, from local Public Service TV:
A sea of cops from Denmark and Sweden attacked about 30 protesters at the Eurovision Song Contest area in Malmö, southernmost Sweden, uding pepper spray about 8 in the evening, while the protesters continued protesting that the competition has allowed itself to be used to whitewash Israel's ongoing genocidal acts against the Palestinian People in the Gaza Strip of Palestine.
The protesters responded by shouting "shame on you", "genocide enablers" and "no justice, no peace – fuck the police".
Greta was removed by the cops, twice.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in Malmö, the protesters attempted an unofficial world reconrd in participants of the folk dance dabke by surpassing 5050 particpants. It is unclear how many did participate, but the report mentioned that it is possible as there had been about 8000 demo participants on location.
Three videos showing the protest yesterday evening against Eurovision Song Contest choosing to aid Israel's ongoing war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, at the Malmö Arena, southernmost Sweden, where the finale was being held,
as well as the reactions by the defenders of crimes against humanity, etc, the police.
All three videos without commentary, from Public Service TV.
Police detained 20 people in total during their repression night to today of protests in the host city Malmö, Sweden, against the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) aiding the genocidal acts, war crimes and crimes against humanity of Israel by choosing to selectively provide whitewashing to Israel while e.g. having chosen to not let Russia participate based on it doing the almost entirely exact same thing, as the extremely self-politicized ESC has traditionally done for about as long as it has existed.
An estimate is that up to 20000 people participated in also the protests during the event's finale night in the host city.
Police's spokesperson said to Public Service radio that "in summary [...] the outcome is entirely excellent".
