🎼Music as a weapon 🇮🇱🇪🇺

from Veritas · host Truth

More than 1,100 artists and creators from around the world have signed an open letter calling for a boycott of the Eurovision Song Contest over Israel's participation during the war in Gaza. The protesters, including prominent figures such as Roger Waters and Macklemore, accuse the European Broadcasting Union of double standards compared to Russia's swift suspension in the past. In addition to boycotting the contest itself, the campaign is encouraging musicians to geo-block their content on streaming services within Israel. On the other hand, the article notes that there is also opposition to the move from Hollywood figures who support Israel's right to participate. Despite the protest, Israel is preparing for the contest with representative Noam Baten and the song "Michelle," which is set to perform in the semi-finals in Vienna.
