'It's just racism': Eurovision roiled in controversy after criticising Palestinian scarf

Competition organisers said Eric Saade's keffiyeh 'compromised the event’s non-political nature' while supporters of the pop star underlined

The Eurovision song contest is facing intense scrunity and accusations of discrimination after it rebuked Swedish-Palestinian pop star Eric Saade for wearing a Palestinian scarf in the opening act of the semi-finals. Saade, whose father is of Palestinian origin, kicked off the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo, Sweden on Tuesday evening with a keffiyeh, a traditional Palestinian and Arab male headdress, wrapped around his wrist. [...] In response, the organisers of the contest, European Broadcasting Union (EBU) released a statement saying it "regretted" that Saade wore the scarf. "The Eurovision Song Contest is a live TV show. All performers are made aware of the rules of the contest, and we regret that Eric Saade chose to compromise the non-political nature of the event," it said. [...] Eurovision later posted clips of the performances of the other two opening acts on its social media pages, but did not share Saade’s, prompting social media users to share the performance on their personal pages to show support for the artist.

Waving Palestinian flags, wearing traditional Palestinian garments, or if we're being honest, just being Palestinian, is now officially "too political" for Eurovision.

Literally, all Saade did was wear a keffiyeh around his wrist—while being Palestinian—and that was enough to get a statement from the EBU, and have his opening performance scrubbed from Youtube.

If you're not already boycotting Eurovision this year, then what the fuck is wrong with you?

Below are two statements from Saade. The first one, giving his reason for participating, was posted a few days ago, and the other was in response to the EBU accusing him of 'compromising the non-political nature' of the Genocide Song Contest:

Reminder again to BOYCOTT EUROVISION 🇵🇸

Czech pronouns (in all grammatical cases)

Sooo, Duolingo confronted me with personal pronouns in the accusative case without explaining any rules or contexts. So i looked up the rules myself and thought that some of you might find them useful too

(the tables are in German, but they were the best ones i could find. I've added some translations underneath for the explanations in the second column)

betont = stressed

unbetont = unstressed

nach Präposition = after prepositions

Hey sorry to be weird but I immediatelly recognized your header because I went to that station like, everyday in the past 3 years and i take Kujón (the train) to school and home sometimes, I just wanted to know if it was somehow related to you or if it's just a random picture you found?👀 Cuz it's such a small village im surprised it would be out in the wild lmao sorry sorry i got excited lol

Hi ! No problem no problem. It is not a random picture I found and I tried to write an explanation but I am not that advanced so I'm really just using my book and trying my best to make something coherent :

Mým přitel bydlí vedle Uničov a je poslal mi fotce vlak.

And in case I made any mistake : my friend lives in Uničov and sent me a picture of the train.

If you are from that region go you because it's a really lovely place and I had a great time there :)
