SleepyCatten<p>We won't pass judgement on people watching the Eurovision final tonight, but we must say that we <strong>genuinely</strong> do not understand how anyone can watch it this year 😔</p><p>When the Russian state / military invaded Ukraine in 2022, it was justly banned from Eurovision 🇷🇺 That ban remains in effect.</p><p>Meanwhile, despite its state and military invading Palestine and committing actions that many would say meet the definition of genocide, no actions have been taken whatsoever against Israel 🇵🇸 🇮🇱 </p><p>We're aware that many Israeli citizens do not support or condone such actions, and have even protested against them.</p><p>In the same way, many Russian citizens did not and do not support Russia's actions in Ukraine.</p><p>In the same way, many US citizens and UK subjects (especially students) do not support their governments' support of the actions taken by the Israeli state.</p><p>Ultimately, you must all do what you feel is ethical.</p><p>For us, that means boycotting an annual event that we've otherwise enjoyed each year for decades.</p><p>We just hope that there will still be anyone left alive in Gaza by the time that the Eurovision final has finished airing :PleadingFace:​ 😞</p><p>And that Israel will finish last, ideally with nil points.</p><p><a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/Eurovision" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Eurovision</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/Eurovision2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Eurovision2024</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/BoycottEurovision" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BoycottEurovision</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/BoycottEurovision2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BoycottEurovision2024</span></a></p>
