Favourites Finland and Israel advanced from the first Eurovision semi-final on Tuesday, despite five countries boycotting the contest over Israel’s participation. Belgium pulled off a surprise qualification, while Croatia, Greece, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Serbia and Sweden also secured spots in Saturday’s grand final in Vienna.

I’ve been meaning to watch through Father Ted again, now’s a good time to start I suppose.
please steal it it’s very much created by the trans phobic guy in charge of the IT crowd
Goddamnit. That is disappointing, easier to separate art from artist I suppose since it’s not him in the frock but fecking hell, yo ho ho
What a coincidence. The head sponsor of Eurovision 2026 is once again an Israeli company. And Israel keeps advancing.
I wonder if the Israeli finale will just be the IOF executing Palestinian kids on a stage. That seems like it’s reminiscent of their culture.
I’ve refused to watch or even listen to theirs, same as any others (I haven’t been able to escape my country’s one though, it’s on news and all), and I won’t watch the show for the very same reasons (Israel).
So I don’t know what it is, and hopefully won’t. Which also means this is exactly as plausible to me as anything else. And I would imagine anyone still choosing to watch the thing would be more than fine with that…
I can’t believe an entity like Eurovision lacks the spine to do the right thing, even with some big participant countries/artists/broadcasters pulling out or boycotting otherwise.
I genuinely liked the concept, it was a fun yearly tradition to watch with friends and drink and eat well and all.
Oh oops, now you’re an anti semite
So ,my Samsung phone will explode by command off the mossad in 10, 9,8 .
Bro you joke but I was thinking about buying a used phone and laptop and this thought literally went through my mind.
Would you say the same thing about Palestinians because of Hamas or Russians because Putin or Americans because Trump?
Hamas is not a settler colonial force. The idf and israel are
Hear me out… The colonization of what is now the US was bad and I would absolutely say the same thing about the US and Russia has been ethnically clensing for far longer than Putin has been alive.
Not the first one. Just the last two.
Eurovision
Why the fuck is Israel in there in the first place? Fuck that shit, throw those genocide lovers out

X for doubt
In a perverse way, I kind of want them to win. I want the organisers to be forced to say the white part loud.
I mean nobody can blame you
Favorite sponsor
Death to Eurovision
My country still taking part in this is a fucking disgrace. I’ve been boycotting the shit for some years but people still like to pretend it’s not political, there’s nothing going on, it’s just a fun little music thing, absolutely nothing going on. It’s a farce
Well they have a tendency to murder the competition so it’s easy for them to secure the qualification.
Edit: i just went and listened to them for 5 seconds and it’s just trash, i don’t know if their language is supposed to sound so “whiny” “biebery” whatever that bleeding heart crap is supposed to be called and drums sound like someone is hitting empty barrels, serious cash changed hands for this qualification…
Singing and killing.
