What the actual fuck
The organizers of the glitzy singing contest said that attendees would be allowed to wave only the flags of participating nations ā includin
Organizers of the Eurovision Song Contest say they reserve the right to remove any Palestinian flags and pro-Palestinian symbols at the show
Boycott this goddamn song contest. Now. And forever.
Itās because Israel is a participating country, and Palestine is not - and every country has fans in the audience that will wave their countryās flag. Israeli flags at this event are not politically motivated - theyāre specifically showing support for their song to win a song contest. But people waving a Palestinian flag WOULD make it a political statement, as there is no Palestinian entry to be cheering on.
Eurovision is just trying to keep the contest from having politics mucking it up. Considering the idea behind the contest is supposed to be to bring countries together in friendly competition - similar to the Olympics - it makes sense that they would want to keep out something that would only be there to cause disruption and divide people up.
Let people enjoy a thing thatās supposed to be fun; there are a million other places/ways to show support for Palestine.
