Eurovision Sucks And We Should All Boycott It For All The Years To Come
Firstly, EBU has a long standing opposition towards patriotism and ethnicity.
In 2016 they banned Kosovo flags because "Kosovo flag is rightfully banned as it is not part of EBU and not an official country".
This year, 2024, they banned all and any show of solidarity with Palestine in order to remain non-political.
However, by choosing to stay non-political, they choose a political side. The wrong one.
They have done it with Kosovo and are doing it with Palestine as well.
If the people that rightfully stand (tall and proud) with Palestine and its people were really so wrong, why does a flag, a keffieyh around someone's wrist threaten them so much?
Why is it a political stance?
This isn't only a political issue, to its core it is a humanitarian one.
Children are murdered, raped, mutilated, bombed.
Women are also murdered, raped, mutilated, bombed. Hygienic products are withdrawn from them which can lead to so many health issues.
Men are held captive, tortured, murdered, starved, mutilated, bombed.
The last kind of issue this is, it is a political one.
The politicians are making it politic so they can profit from this.
This horror didn't start on the 7th October, but it had to end.
