A new poll suggests that 82% Of British people want Israel to be removed from the Eurovision Song Contest.
The country’s continued involvement with the Song Contest is the subject of controversy, with Russia having been removed following its invasion of Ukraine.
The poll was pieced together by Pablo O’Hana, and utilised a survey sample of 1093, done in a nationally representative manner.
A noted Eurovision fan himself, Pablo O’Hana adds: “Eurovision isn’t just about songs and staging – it’s about values. If Israel is permitted to compete, the people of Britain believe we should walk away. The BBC must find its backbone before walking into that meeting today.”
It’s been obvious for a while now that it’s the British Political Class that’s pro-Genocide, not the British Public.
Judging by the shit that’s come out around Epstein, I wouldn’t at all be surprised if it turns out Israel has a ton of Pedophilia-related blackmail material on top Tories and Labour politicians.
Why is this a shock? We generally don’t like genocide, despite what our government may believe.
Can we be removed from the Eurovision song contest? It’s been crap for years now, it’s never been about the songs which are frankly mostly terrible, it’s an annual political contest.
I mean it sounds like you’d just be better off ignoring it, tbh.
Will the “will of the people” be followed in this so called democracy?
A significant portion of the UK government ministers have received donations (Definitely not just legal bribes) from Labour Friends of Israel, so it’s heavily unlikely that they do anything disparaging towards Israel.
It’s the main reason they’re having such a hard time admitting they’re complicit in an ongoing genocide.
Saw the parliamentary session questioning the police chiefs responsible for banning the Tel Aviv away fans to the recent football game. The MPs started the session with declarations of interest.
Chair: I welcome our first witness, on our first panel, in the one-off session that our Committee is holding to investigate the events surrounding the decision to ban away fans at the Aston Villa-Maccabi Tel Aviv game. Before we start, there will be some declarations of interest. I declare that I am an officer and member of the Conservative Friends of Israel.
Jo White: I am a member of Labour Friends of Israel.
Mr Kohler: I have received a donation of £2,000 from the Lib Dem Friends of Israel.
Peter Prinsley: I am a Jewish Labour MP.
Would be a very rare occurrence if so. Like the US, the UK government is notorious for being extremely unrepresentative of the needs and wants of the people regardless of who’s in power.
Not least classics such as zionism, cops, warfare, and education.
Australian here. IDK much about the feelings of Brits.
How could the populace feel so strongly about this divisive issue, while apparently such strong support for Farage exists, when I presume he would be pro-Israel?
… and seeing that I’m here, I have a bonus question: if Brits generally acknowledge that Brexit was a terrible idea, why isn’t Farage tarnished by his ardent support for it?
Most right-wingers also don’t like Israel anymore. However this usually is paired with heavy antisemitism. See also the rise of Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens in the US.
This isn’t how the BBC works 😔.
There needs to be a paedophile scandal at the heart of the Eurovision team at the BBC for any action to be taken by the BBC. Until then you’ll get weasel words and continued participation.
I mean, the IOF have been proven to rape their hostages and they abduct a lot of children, so DEFINITELY wouldn’t put child rape past the Beeb’s favorite apartheid occupation force…
