Eurovision Postpones Voting on Israel, Not Its Genocide
Al-Monitor reports that following an 'apparent reference to the Gaza ceasefire,' the noble task of deciding if Israel can sing its way through an ongoing slaughter has been put on hold. Austria, bless its heart, even appealed to nations not to boycott. This is the same Austria whose government, along with many EU members, consistently abstains or votes against UN resolutions holding Israel
accountable for its actions in the Palestinian territories. One might wonder if the European Broadcasting Union ever considered calling off a vote due to the *actual* two-year-old conflict, or the preceding 76 years of displacement. No, it takes a PR nightmare to make 'developments' visible. Call us when they postpone the arming, funding, or diplomatic shielding of the actions Eurovision is
nervously tiptoeing around.
