Obviously boycott Eurovision, but glad to read elsewhere it’s descended into chaos.

Netherlands suspended from rehearsals, organisers panicking, audience booing drowning out the singer from Israel, Italian singer apparently singing ‘imagine’ outside the venue in true cringe fashion.

Thank you dear Eurovision audience. Not only a black ocean but also booing but what did the tv station do? Fake cheering....but at least we know how it really went down. I am so not watching btw

[redfoxincutesocks]

This year we're rebloging only one eurovision post

Just boycott that shit

[bisexual-detectives]

A reminder not to watch eurovision and not to vote - even if you're scared israel will win. this is not about who wins and who loses, this is about the Palestinian BDS movement asking us to enact cultural and material boycott of a TV show that's plaforming a genocidal ethnostate. don't give them your money.

First of all, boycott eurovision. However, I AM loving all the various stories of pro-palestinian rebellion that are coming out surrounding eurovision.

Apparently security surrounding the event is through the roof, and the Eurovision team literally frisk searched all the contestants to make sure they didn't smuggle any palestinian scarves or flags in, but despite this:

there was the guy who wore his father's kufiya as a wristband during his performance

there was a performer who painted "CEASEFIRE" and "FREEDOM" on their face using ogham script, and who then did a post on social media talking about it and how EV officials (who had found out the meaning of the facepaint by then) refused to allow them to do it again for a later round.

there was the indigenous Australian who used his body paint to paint a watermelon on his chest and later made a statement drawing attention to it and stating that he stands with the Palestinians

there's the 10,000-strong pro-Palestine protest that happened in Malmö, the city hosting the ESC this year

there's the crowd, who booed Israel during their dress rehearsal and shouted Free Palestine so loudly that the performance itself was nearly drowned out and the broadcaster (clumsily) tried to alter the audio so that the audience couldn't be heard

It's great, I love it. They can try all they like to block every mention of Palestine, but they haven't been succeeding and they'll continue to fail.

Fuck Israel, fuck Eurovision, and Free Palestine. 🇵🇸

🇵🇸 Happening right now in Malmö, Sweden.

A huge crowd of pro-Palestine protests have gathered ahead of tonight's Eurovision semi-final in Malmö, where Israel will be one of the participating countries.

Israel's representing artist, Eden Golan—who was initially supposed to perform tonight with the song "October Rain," before the EBU forced Israel to rewrite it into the little less overtly genocidal "Hurricane"—has promised that the first thing she'll do after returning from Eurovision, is to join the IDF:

Reminder again to BOYCOTT EUROVISION 🇵🇸

And if you're in Malmö, please join the protesters!

Eurovision act dealt huge blow as Norway spokesperson withdraws from role

Taking to a video relayed on social media this Saturday, May 11, Alessandra Mele has announced she was withdrawing from her role as Norway's

The Eurovision Song Contest fiasco continues with a setback for Norway's Gåte after Alessandra Mele has announced her decision to leave her role as spokesperson. Mere hours before this Saturday's final, the Italian-Norwegian singer took to social media as she shared her decision in a video. In the short clip originally relayed on TikTok, Alessandra explains she made the decision to quit over Israel's participation in the song contest. As a result, she will not be giving out Norway's points during the final. "Even though I’m thankful I was given the opportunity to do so, I’ve taken the decision to withdraw", she said. "United By Music — Eurovision’s motto — is the reason I do music. Unite people, bring them together. But right now those words are just empty words." Alessandra added, in reference to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict which reached new heights in October, 2023, on the Gaza Strip: "There is a genocide going on and I’m asking you all to please open up your eyes, open up your heart. Let love lead you to the truth. It’s right in front of you. Free Palestine." NRK presenter Ingvild Helljesen has been selected to replace her.
