Israel BOYCOTTED By Ireland, Spain, Slovenia & The Netherlands At Eurovision!
Jimmy Dore: During this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, public backlash and cultural pressure have led a series of nations to withdraw unless Israel — which any student of geography will tell you is not IN Europe — is forced out of the competition.
This move from Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, and Slovenia highlights the growth in international outrage over Israel’s actions, and an increased push to pressure Eurovision not to participate in what critics calls “genocide by proxy.”
Jimmy frames the boycott as proof that cultural boycotts can influence global politics and hold state actors accountable, and closes by calling for more global solidarity and using popular culture as a tool against injustice.
