And now the cleanup can begin. Dear #EBU, you have a lot of explaining to do. Overdubbing the booing from the audience. Disqualifying the Netherlands. This years #Eurovision was filled with wonderful music and artists, but your politics, dear EBU, yes, YOUR politics at this event, where you loudly claim it’s unpolitical — it stinks.
@jwildeboer I thought I'd have more FOMO with boycotting it this year but you know what?
I don't think I'll bother watching it in the future, the silliness and fun has gone from it.
It's just another tool of global authoritarianism now, and that's not fun.
WEEK 24: The daily die-in outside the offices of the national broadcaster in Oslo continues, protesting the involvement of Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest.
I see one of the contestants at Eurovision got told off for wearing a keffiyeh wrapped round his wrist.
Flying the Zionist flag is cool though, because ...
I'm a huge fan of the Eurovision Song Contest, but this year I'm boycotting Eurovision.
Eurovision has always been political. Its purpose is political by seeking to unite Europe with the power of love of music over the power of hate and war.
In previous years, I celebrated the overt shows of support for Ukraine, LGBTQIA people, and other oppressed people.
But this year, the organisers of the Eurovision Song Contest have chosen ignore calls for BDS and allowed Israel to enter, and they have chosen to ban other participants from showing even support of the people of Palestine.
If you think the Eurovision Song Contest has chosen an appalling stance on this issue, you're not alone. The Israel singer was booed off stage, and there have been a record number of protests against Eurovision inside the auditorium, outside this year's venue in Malmö, and in many participating countries around the world.
This year's #Eurovision is an Exercise in Fascism.
It is the Celebration of a Genocidal Apartheid State, and the Denial of the existence of #Palestine
Organizers of Eurovision Song Contest ready to remove Palestinian flags or symbols. Organizers of the Eurovision Song Contest said Thursday they reserve the right to remove any Palestinian flags and pro-Palestinian symbols at the show next week in Sweden. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/sweden-ap-israel-malmo-geneva-b2538415.html
Nothing creeps me out more than Centrist heterosexuals using us Queers to defend the actions of Israel and supportive Colonialists, some gobsite centrist in the Guardian (of course) just now....
Just a reminder to #BoycottEurovision, lovers. Don’t watch it or engage with it other than to condemn it for allowing genocidal Israel to be taking part.

With Joost Klein we are seeing what happens to you in the Music biz if you stand up the Israeli regime's toxic lies.
And what of Bambi Thug? Will they be allowed to perform tonight?
What a fucking mess, and what an awakening this must be for some people.
In bending the knee to the genocidal regime they punish us Queers, see how it works? See what a crock of shit 'Queerwashing' is? We're just props to be used...
We don't know what happened with #joostklein, if he acted inappropriatly then he deserves to be removed.
We do know that Israel is currently committing genocide, and has murdered over 30k Palestinians.
