Spain, Ireland, Slovenia and Netherlands boycott Eurovision over Israel’s participation

Spain, Ireland, Slovenia and the Netherlands announced their withdrawals Thursday from next year’s Eurovision Song Contest after organizers decided that Israel will be allowed to compete.

Organizers of the pop music spectacle, which draws millions of viewers globally, met earlier Thursday to discuss Israel’s participation, amid calls for the country to be excluded over the war in Gaza and threats from some members to boycott.

An independent United Nations inquiry concluded in September that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and that the country’s top leaders have incited genocide. The Israeli government has maintained it is conducting the war in Gaza in self-defense and in accordance with international law, firmly denying accusations of genocide.

Members of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), the primary organizer of the event, decided not to hold a vote on Israel’s participation but said that “targeted changes” should be introduced to improve neutrality.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog said he was “pleased” with the EBU’s decision and thanked all those who “stood up for Israel’s right to continue to contribute and compete at Eurovision.” Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said he was “ashamed” of the countries boycotting the contest.

This naked aggression can’t go on much longer without exploding into something much bigger.

and the Netherlands

Did they track down any Jewish teenage girls in hiding? And then burn her diary for good measure?

Islamic feminazi s holes.

Ireland is depressing. I have family there still that had to move far out to the west of the island because everything the cities is infested with turd world turds. They have a young red head daughter who was relentlessly bullies and abused but the islami and African savages. The authorities do nothing. I can’t even chat with them on Facebook because anyone who sees any posts can report them for “hate crimes.”

“ This naked aggression can’t go on much longer without exploding into something much bigger.”

In the history books this time on earth will be considered the period that led to the Third Crusades.

The Netherlands had more Waffen SS volunteers than any other occupied country.

“In the history books this time on earth will be considered the period that led to the Third Crusades.”

I sometimes wonder about that. Somewhere out there there is a person with leadership skills and a country that will follow him of which all are just tired of this slow Islamic takeover. It might have to get much worse than it is now, but I expect it to happen. If it does not, then Christianity and the white race are doomed.

What’s truly evil is the white leaders of various nations are actually promoting the demise of their own kind.

Who knows, maybe the proud Germans will be the ones to finally say enough is enough and start to physically expel the hordes wrecking their culture. I do not mean expelling by a slow legal deportation, I mean forcing them out by any means all at once.

They have entered a covenant with death. These nations will not escape the Judgement of the Almighty. It will come down upon them, overflowing, pressed down, and shaken together. They must repent. Now.

Four countries with rich Judeo Christian and Western histories that should be doubling down on both. It is theatre of the absurd

Eurovision has degraded to fake wrestling gimmicks performances of bad pop songs.

I can “understand” Spain, Ireland and the Dutch, which are being rapidly taken over by Muslims. But why does Melania’s Slovenia have such hate of Jews? Hungary doesn’t feel this way.

Propaganda. They have their own version of CNN.
