Normally I look forward to Eurovision as a fun, over-the-top little music competition.
This year, I'll be taking part in the boycott unless they choose to relocate.
Would you have a problem with a Eurovision in Russia? Or is it just the Jewish state that can't win a competition fair and square and get a reward because antisemites hate successful Jews?
Yes, absolutely. It shouldn't be held in any state that condones widespread human rights abuses.
I'm not going to address your second question as it's completely asinine.
Oh, what about Belarus then? Serbia? Turkey? How about any sporting event in America, whose airstrikes harm more innocents and who, unlike Israel's army, doesn't warn innocents with flyers telling them to evacuate before airstrikes, an effort which sometimes harms the military goal of killing terrorists who are directly targeting Israeli innocents? For that matter, how about Britain and France and basically any other NATO nation who participate in these strikes?
People like Roger Waters always choose to target the Jewish state for protecting the security of its own citizens. Doesn't matter, though- this movement, indoctrinated by antisemites, is pathetically weak and lacking influence.
Alright, I understand that it is largely futile to debate Israel with you, however just to make it clear where I stand - Should there be a widespread call to nonviolently resist capitalist imperialist and colonial actions taken by the ruling classes of any county to preserve their hegemony (including the United States) whether it be air/drone strikes or other atrocities, you are damn right I would stand with it. It doesn't matter to me which particular country commits such acts, but I would consider it undeniable that Israel is among this group. In my view, rancid human rights violations should not be validated by holding a massive, celebratory entertainment event in any circumstance.
As an aside, murdering innocents is not a passable offense if you warn them first.
