At the very least, I think Eurovision next month will get even more awkward than it was already set out to be.
what's the best way to show my disgust?
I usually love Eurovision. But obviously need to register my disgust this year.
Good question. Some say boycott the whole show or just Israel's song, I suppose you can boo if you're on location or be loud in the chat on the official livestream, generally use the buzz on social media. Generally, they will be aware that people will want to register their disgust and will probably prepare themselves for that.
I'd say generally, participate normally in Eurovision discussion and then make noise or boycott when it's Israel's turn. The media that love to report on the event, as it has a reach bigger than the Superbowl, will pick it up when it's enough noise.
Also watch out if some of the artists will say or do something. Iceland is always very itchy and gives no fucks.
you make some good points. It's scandalous that Israel be allowed to participate to be honest. genocide does seem to go against some of the spirit of the show.
Pirate a stream of it or dont watch. Try to avoid creating buzz, no matter how small, on social media about the event as this helps them too. No ones gonna ask about how many negative comments they got when they brag about views and engagement numbers to their corporate funders when looking to sell ad space.
I would imagine the negative comments matter. some people might not understand the situation. there might be a lot of protest on the night and it might help contextualise it for some people.
Biden: vote for us or else Trump wins
Why risk a genocide-lover when you can have somebody who is guaranteed to be a genocide-lover?!
Trump: "Yeah, don't let Biden have all the fun!"
"unintentional harm to the members of WCK."
Pheeew! They were only harmed, not murdered.
And it was totally unintentional. No way any one meant to hit them with those precision weapons.
Why are there seven photos in the thumbnail? Was there a survivor?
No, no there was not
