Hopefully more countries do the same. This will be the first year I actively avoid Eurovision.

Is it, though? We failed to join SA in their lawsuit against Israel because of unknown reasons. All we do is being concerned, mostly. Meanwhile our universitiy is extending cooperation with Israeli one tied to their war complex, we are buying Israeli spy tools etc.

@Mihies didn't know that.

No worries, you couldn't know that. I really wish we could do anything meaningful, though.

Its funny how you can tell immediately whether any source is biased or not based on the words they use to describe "Israel's war"... Instead of calling it what we all know it to be - genocide.

Abd the world isnt just apalled at "Israel's conduct", we're appalled at the fact that they are literally doing ethnic cleansing, amongst numerous other war crimes.

Good on Slovenia though, as well as all other countries taking a stand against the genocider's sports/green/music(?) washing

@promitheas Yes, very much agreed, on all counts
