Why is Israel in Eurovision?They are a full fledged member of the TV organisation EBU.
Why is Israel in Eurovision?They're part of the European Broadcasting Union, due to geographic reasons iirc
They're part of the European Broadcasting Union, due to geographic reasons iircAustralia are in it.
There are other non European countries that are in it too iirc
I'm sure Israel would rather withdraw over a 'principle', than be thrown out because of disgust at their ethnic cleansing of Gaza.This is true. I believe that Israel should have been thrown out like Russia and Belarus tho.
If they do that, the EBU won't have to make a decision either, so it would suit everyone.
This is true. I believe that Israel should have been thrown out like Russia and Belarus tho.They would also save a shit ton of money on providing security.
Sounds like they ripped off Guns N' Roses.
Russia was banned from Eurovision a couple of days after their invasion of Ukraine, when the civilian death toll was still in the hundreds.Something that has been used as an arguement to distinguish between Russia and Israel is that Russia attacked another member of the EBU.

Israel should withdraw from Palestine.Why are you being so antisemitic right now?!
Its not exactly the same. The Ukraine invasion wasnt instigated by a massacre of a thousand russians.Another difference is that Israel's rate of killing children is 138 times as high as Russia's.
Its not exactly the same. The Ukraine invasion wasnt instigated by a massacre of a thousand russians.True, it was instigated by several thousands of them.
But, I cant blame eurovision for feeling that way.

But theres not much else to compare with regards to how the two conflicts got started.You mean like how you get all pissy when people compare Israel's ongoing genocide to the Holocaust but in the same topic said:
What happened on October 7th was a mass murder event comparable to what the Nazis did.

On the slight chance people think you're arguing in good faith.
So Ukranians went into Russia and massacred a thousand people? Thats not what I saw.You think they were living hunkydory trading Candy and living in peace with sunshine and rainbows? Then suddenly went I dont like your candy, ILL KILL YOU!?
Say what you want about the atrocities in Gaza now, its all well deserved at this point, but the events of October 7th essentially ruin any claim Hamas has of being an organized resistance movement. You want to make comparisons about the IDF and Russia with regards to civilian casualties, fine. The numbers are what they are, and cannot be disputed.

Another difference is that Israel's rate of killing children is 138 times as high as Russia's.Isn't it well known that Hamas hides behind civilians? That might explain why civilian death rate is higher
And whereas Russia has been rightfully blackballed anywhere in the Western world, we still have people calling IDF soldiers 'heroes'.
Isn't it well known that Hamas hides behind civilians? That might explain why civilian death rate is higherOr it's because Israel is literally sniping children.

But terrorism is terrorism and is inexcusable.Unless Israel does it.
Unless Israel does it.
Then it's their God given right to execute Palestinians.
I really hope you didn't object to the Iraq war.
That doesnt mean I think the civilian casualties, or those disgusting reports of rape and mistreatment of civilians in this war are remotely acceptable, justifiable, or anything remotely consistent with Jewish values.You're just okay with it as long as it satisfies the vengeance boner, we read your posts.

Eagles has TonyKojima-levels of skirting just close enough to the line not to cross it and get banned.Kinda funny how we have mod discretion over things that are poorly worded but the intent is clear, but not over cases like Eagles and TK.
Although TK slips up here and there. They all do. Its only a matter of time, and the worse this gets.

Better yet we get modded for stating facts, which says a lot about the loser who marks them and the mod who actions it.In fairness, they're improving a bit. I've noticed a lot less bad moderations lately. And whereas in the past I had one overturn in about 15 years of on and off using the site, this time around I've had probably close to a 50% overturn rate when I've contested - including a few warnings.
If the mods cant do their jobs properly maybe they need replacing. I volunteer.
