Jan Böhmermann and Olli Schulz (Comedians who commentate for Austrian broadcaster ORF) are claiming that Estonia, Switzerland and Ireland don’t want to perform in the Eurovision Final. According to them, France only wants to perform if they are able to make a statement:
He was on the board, it’s not like it was his project or anything. Imo he wanted to create a protocol, not a platform. “Improve Activitypub” like they always claimed. But then Bluesky realized that they can simply build their own platform and be Twitter 2.0
Well as an event organizer they have a legal obligation to protect their production crew. I can completely understand the need to remove him from the premises if there is fear of him repeating his alleged behaviour to the crew.
Also to me it sounds like the EBU has concluded its internal investigation, it’s the police investigation that’s ongoing.
The EBU has also postponed the opening of the “Rest of the World vote” for the final until an ongoing investigation regarding the Dutch participant has been concluded.
I mean, to this date they never released any details about the 2022 ban on Russia’s entry and left the vague statement they originally put out. And their statements about the jury fraud afterwards didnt go into detail either. So maybe we’ll not even get a proper comment afterwards.
A Belgian broadcaster interrupted its coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest semi-final on Thursday night to display a protest message condemning Israel’s war on Gaza. In an act organised by a trade union, the screen briefly went black ahead of the semi-final coverage on VRT, Belgium’s public-service broadcaster in Flemish....
You’re pretty good at ignoring my arguments and making up pseudo-arguments that I never made, I’ll give you that.
People who think of this whole conflict as strictly two sides and nothing more will never understand why it has not been solved. You even allude to that yourself by pointing out the right-wing, Netanyahu-aligned murderer of Rabin. But don’t follow through with that logic.
Again: english is my second language, “Politbüro” is literally the German term for “political bureau”. See random german newspaper article to confirm the use of the term “Hamas-Politbüro” in german: n-tv.de/…/Hamas-Politbuero-spricht-sich-fuer-Ende…
Sorry for the confusion, it was simply a translation error I made. Because when formulating posts in english I might sometimes miss some proper English terms and use german ones by accident. Now please stop with the insinuations, I did not use that word to compare Hamas to communist parties or to “sound smart”.
