The Israeli symbol of the contest is formed by a union of three triangles, to emphasize the power of union and harmony of diverse elements. However, the usual suspects, refusing to accept this gesture of goodwill, began a campaign to prevent Israel being the host country, using a number of open letters in the British newspaper The Guardian. Though no objective individual is likely to perceive any logical connection between songs stealing across the meadows of one's heart in Tel Aviv performed by artists from many countries and unrelated Israeli public policy, the critics insist that the basic issue for removing the Eurovision contest from Israel is systematic violation of Palestinian human rights, land theft evictions, shootings, beatings, and worse by security forces. On September 7, 2018, The Guardian published a letter from 141 "artists from Europe," calling for the contest to be moved from Israel. Apparently, somewhere there's music, however faint the tune, but not in Israel.

“...women searching for and finding their voices.”


In my years on the planet, I’ve found that most women, and girls for that matter, have no trouble “finding their voices”.

personally I have zero interest in “eurovision”... couldn’t care less

but..
yes, this report does illustrate the anti-God orientation of parts of Europe (it is not ONLY the IslamoNazi and residual ThirdReichNazis, alas!.. its too easy to blame them Alone when there are some “regular” people that follow, support, endorse, or do nothing to stop...this kind of vile, Satanic hate coming from their countries)

I figure God is testing each of us, as well as each of our nations...(and some are, alas, flunking out royally). Genesis 12:3

I watched the Eurovision finals last year and that girl’s song was terrible. The fact that such drivel was even allowed in the contest, much less judged the winner, is pretty good proof that the Eurovision countries are fair minded even if a few individuals aren’t.
