Fellow no rule gang members, remember to watch Eurovision Song Contest this year https://youtu.be/byI2jM_xcjU?si=HXZSu0bZS0sbA-yL

Remember to not do that since EBU refuses to exclude Israel. Listen to the songs on YouTube and Spotify all you want. Support the artists who worked hard to get there, but don't support the EBU. They claim to be ApOliTiCAl but fighting for and defending human rights should be trivial.

The EBU isn't apolitical they suspended Russia over their war of aggression, but it would indeed be unprecedented to bar a country from the ESC without it being suspended and Israel has been occupying Palestine pretty much since it was founded.

I will definitely be watching it, the audience reaction could get interesting during Israel's performance. The Haaretz had the good sense to call for a withdrawal from the ESC but the rightoids of course aren't listening.
