BOYCOTT EUROVISION FOR ISRAEL PARTICIPATION.
I am the Eurovision gay this time of year, I love this show. Not only is my country hosting 2024 but it's also in a city I love, but I can't watch as people sing about peace and love while Palestinians are getting killed by one of the participants.
I've complied a couple of petitions, open letters and information regarding Eurovision: Eurovision isn't the highest priority regarding Gaza, but this show is marketing & tourism for countries, Israel is using it to pink wash their politics
According to SVT, Swedish television network in charge of Eurovision 2024 in Sweden Malmö, Eurovision is apolitical, and therefore Israel qualify. They refer to any calls for boycott meaningless ( via )
SVT statement:
Eurovision has always been political, and was created as a celebration of peace after WW2. Songs are statements, and EBU took action by banning Russia and Belarus for the invasion of Ukraine. It's a way to show sympathy and solidarity, which Gaza is in need of now.
Why Eurovision is so important to Israel is the opportunity of pink washing, and appearing liberal and LGBTQ-friendly, that the show encourages. This leads to great marketing and tourism for the country, alqueerian on twt did a great thread about it:
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Here are a couple of petitions, open letters and links to encourage the ban of Israel in Eurovision
And if all fail: we boycott
Here are two petitions for the ban of Israel:
Petition 1
A list of emails and contact information for broadcasters regarding Israel participation: copy, paste and send.

It's created by verilybitchie on YouTube who also made a great call to action video I can recommend
And for Swedes, I think it's extra important for us to speak up; here's what we can do:
Open letter via Björk & Frihet, a charity in Skåne offer letters to sign but also have pdf version to print at home!
This is also a letter regarding the contest being held in Malmö, a city with a long history fighting for Palestine!
Sign here
Meanwhile, don't forget your daily clicks to help Palestine while we wait for EBU to stand by their words and prove we are united by music!
Wait you know what, reblogging again with my additions in the notes:
If you email the Ukrainian broadcaster, SUSPLINE, make sure to heavily include the fact that the Israeli entry is Russian and is financial benefitting from Russia.
Other worthy ones to email are the Slovenian broadcaster, RTVSLO who has called for the EBU to expel Israel.
Iceland (RÚV) and Finland (YLE) previously said they are considering leaving if Israel takes part. Finland’s representative, Windows95Man, has not yet confirmed if he will be attending as he wants Israel out.
If you’re aiming at other broadcasters, Belgium has their continued support for UNRWA and has one of their buildings in Gaza attacked because of that. Their broadcaster for this year is RTBF (don’t contact VRT as they’re not dealing with this years edition).
If you contact the UK (BBC), make sure to point out that (after the Israeli government attacked Olly Alexander with a thinly veiled threat), they attempted to lobby the UK government to convince the BBC to fire Olly as the UK entry. Countries aren’t allowed to interfere with another nation’s selection process.
Remember that Russia only got excluded because several countries threatened to withdraw. The EBU did not exclude Russia out of the goodness of their own heart. They did so because the money they would lose by keeping Russia would be greater than the money they would lose by excluding Russia.
Heavily criticise the song Israel send if they get to that point. They’ve already mentioned they want their song to “tell their story” meaning the song will likely be political propaganda. In 2021 Belarus got a 4 year ban for sending a political song (they were allowed to change the song but send an even more political one). In 2009 (when the contest was hosted in Russia) Georgia got slapped with “political song” with their entry “We Don’t Wanna Put In” (geddit) an were told to change it. They withdrew rather than change it.
Also do not stream or support Luxembourg’s song either. The singer is also a Zionist and the song is about her brother in the IDF.
Anyway, stream Casa Mia by Ghali and Onda Alta by Dargen D’Amico, who both spoke out during Sanremo and both got in trouble for it.
Isreal has so much to offer yet they send the dude in your gym that always hits on girls that are not interested
Thanks for at least not bringin a ballad…btw who misses the golden bois from last year?
