I think an important thing to note is that the ban on palestinian flags or mentioning palestine in any capacity this year in eurovision, wasn't the decision of EBU but SVT (the swedish broadcasters). However, EBU has clearly supported and enforced this ban.

That being said, it's disgusting and appaling that SVT would ask eric saade, a half-palestinian man, to perform at eurovision, and then trash him and make official statements berating him for wearing a palestinian garment while performing, because he "made it political".

The reason why eurovision exists is inherently political. Half of the most successful eurovision songs are political. This whole thing is nothing short of a farce and absolutely disgusting.

not watching eurovision but apparently eric saade, who performed in the opening number, wore a keffiyeh wrapped around his wrist, which goes against the EBU's "no politics" rule

for those who don't know, he represented sweden in esc in 2011, and he's been very open about his support for palestine, as he's half palestinian himself, and his intent with taking part in this year's show was always in protest of israel

his part of the show is the only one not officially uploaded to youtube

Anyways I’m boycotting ESC like everyone should but I saw on Instagram today and wanted to share

Swedish-Palestinian singer Eric Saade who placed 3rd in Eurovision 2011 was one of three opening numbers in this year’s ESC. In his performance he wore a keffiyeh on his arm and his is the only of all three performers that weren’t posted to the official ESC instagram account.

He had this to say:

Anyways I’ve always been indifferent to Eric Saade but right now I respect him so fucking much 🍉

Seeing as Eurovision's social media accounts haven't dared upload this (shout out to BBC for doing it instead) here is Eric Saade, one of the three who opened the show yesterday
