Still a word about the total lame references to peace that seemed charged with unsaid words, I felt especially embarrassed by #Portugal's Mimicat and Iolanda. If the issue was so important to you and you have such a one sided view, then go all the way and boycott it.
But just like the "online boycotters" they really wanted to be a part of #Eurovision, they just wanted to exclude others from it but unwilling to the minimum personal sacrifice. Shallow morals, deep ignorance, lame, embarrassing.
Putting aside all the monstrous differences between both situations it all comes down to the fact that several countries, including the big5, said they wouldn't participate at #Eurovision if Russia did. No country (not even Muslim #Albania and #Azerbaijan) did the same about Israel. And in the end all Western Europe and Australia gave 12 televote points to Israel.
Okay.. also für #Azerbaijan gar nicht mal soo schlecht. Viel Gefühl und Arabesken halt. #esc@esc (Boah ey.. möchte den Kommentator inzwischen knebeln.)
