As a big fan of Eurovision, it pains me to boycott the contest this year but I can't stomach the thought of endorsing mass-murderers.
The EBU banned Russia from competing after their invasion into Ukraine (after a lot of public outcry, I must add), so why can't they ban Israel as well? If the problem is they "don't want Eurovision to be political", well tough luck, it already is and has been from the very start.
The answer, of course, is money.
Rapper Macklemore went after President Biden in a new song on the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza and recent pro-Palestinian student protests.
“The blood is on your hands, Biden, we can see it all,” the rapper says in a video featuring the song, titled “Hind’s Hall,” seemingly in reference to what pro-Palestinian protesters renamed a building on Columbia University’s campus when they took it over last week. The video was posted Monday to the social platform X.
Macklemore was previously a speaker at a pro-Palestinian protest in the fall of last year in Washington, D.C., shortly after the current conflict between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas began.
