Mic up the audience instead of the performer, it sounds like what they're saying is more valuable.

It's probably a pretty safe bet both that Israel would not send a pro-Palestine competitor and that a pro-Palestine person would refuse to represent Israel at any event.

Israel has been a full fledged member of the EBU for decades. EBU is the TV-organisation that own Eurovision.

Same reason Israel and Israeli leagues play in the European soccer confederation. Because otherwise they would be in Asia with the countries that hate them.

Organizers of the Eurovision Song Contest said Thursday they reserve the right to remove any Palestinian flags and pro-Palestinian symbols at the show next week in Sweden.

Just a quick reminder that Israel is permitted at Eurovision yet even waving the Palestinian flag isn't allowed

No, the song had to be renamed because the title directly referenced October 7th and Eurovision songs aren't supposed to be political, although the rest of the song is still the same.

Ukraine got full sympathy and support from Eurovision. Their invader even get banned. Complete opposite treatment for Palestine. I'm guessing Palestine has never even been allowed in.

I disagree with it but bringing flags of countries that arent part of Eurovision has never been allowed so it is not a new thing. Still dumb though and it is of course highlighted this year due to Israels atrocious gencidal actions. The Armenian delegation was fined/reprimanded for bringing the flag of Nagorno-Karabakh into the green room in 2016 for example.

I know it's all supposed to be apolitical but it is a little surprising since Europe has seemed more sympathetic to Palestine in general than the US over the years.

Swedish police and prosecutor are investigating a case of unlawful threat and there are two different reports floating around. The one about Israeli press and one about him attacking a female Swede working with the Eurovision production.

They basically have a lot of laws that specifically restrict a lot of the rights that aboriginal people have. Basically stuff that's in the same vein as the Jim Crow laws we had here in the US.

Yep. The conversation about racism never reached critical mass in Australia as in the US, and politicians here would rather pretend everything is fine.

Around a decade ago the government introduced measures to ban indigenous people living in the outback from accessing alcohol and pornography, and all welfare payments were put into a specific card that can only be used for groceries and necessities. And many scummy shops responded by overcharging their times 10x times.
