IMHO, THE ONLY WAY NOW FOR TO KEEP PARTICIPATE WORLDWIDE EVENT LIKE AND OLYMPIC GAMES WITHOUT PROTESTS IS ISRAEL SHOULD END THE WAR. @israel @palestine

The stench of hypocrisy surrounding the Eurovision this year was just astounding.

While Israel was performing at , their troops were murdering displaced Palestinians in Rafah, bombing UNDP building and invading parts of Gaza they had declared "safe" for refugees.

And then this POS hypocrite who was so strongly supporting the ban on Russia 2 years ago is now acting like "music and entertainment is not politics".

The Eurovision contest final reminded me of Catherine M. Valente's excellent Space Opera, that was heavily influenced by the European song contest.

This is still my favorite Valente novel and her flowery prose is very well suited to the audio format with an impressive performance by Heath Miller.

There's even a sequel on the way.

Israeli performance was jeered with booo and free shouts from the public I'm , last night.

They shouldn't be allowed to participate if it wasn't for disgusting double standard of the organizers and pressure from Swedish and German government.

/ Swedish pop star Eric Saade hits back at EBU criticism of scarf

"I got that scarf from my dad as a little boy, to never forget where the family comes from. I didn't know then that it one day would be called a 'political symbol'… I just wanted to be inclusive and carry something that's real to me – but seems to think that my ethnicity is controversial.”
