Israel refers to Eurovision | Israeli-Palestine conflict

When you think that Eurovision has reached the summit, glitter dried cliches, strangely dried cliches and local kliches and their local karaoke night dropped in 2025.

The leading in the competition, activists in Europe called on Israel. Seventy-two former Eurovision Song Contest signed an open letter to the Israeli and its national broadcaster and its national broadcaster. Protests, motions and campaigns have been swept on the continent, and the competition has called on the “European Union and Culture and Culture” systematically accused of two million and bombing.

However, Eurovision did not listen.

Instead, 24-year-old Yuval Rafael’s – 7-year-old Yuua Rafael’s 7-year-old Rafael’s 7-year-old Rafael – in most countries, the most professional jury preferred to the entrance to Austria.

Understandably, a surprising victory in the vicinity of Israel caused a wave of return. Like Ireland, the most voice criticizing Israel’s actions in Gaza – presently, the highest price of the rafaeli, the noise has been revealed. Spain and Belgium National Broadcasters have demanded an investigation into the potential manipulation of the television system and submitted official complaints with the European Broadcasting. Meanwhile, the voice analysis of the confrontation was revealed that the noise and sound of the voices of Free Palestine during Rafael’s live performance of the Eurovision organizers.

After this year’s competition, the calls to the removal of Israel from Eurovision are higher than before. Eurovision’s, nostalgic charm or nostalgic charm, but for many people who care about the life of international law and Palestine for many for many people who care about the life of Palestine

However, I believe that Israel believes in Eurovision and should remain in the forward race. Here is it.

For one thing, Israel’s continuous participation reflected the reality of European politics. Despite the grown public anger, many European leaders are unshakable in supporting Israel during the destructive campaign in Gaza. As the Republic of Spain and Ireland calls for a re-evaluance of the European Union’s relations with Israel, as usual for the majority of Europe.

In February 2025, despite the pressure from human rights groups, European Foreign Ministers met with Israeli counterpart and insisted that “political and economic relations were strong.” In a few months, seven EU countries have made a joint statement that ended the things that they describe as a “technological humanitarian catastrophe” in Gaza. But inactive, these words rose in vain.

Europe is divided into whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is international to arrest the International Criminal Court. Belgium said he would adapt to the Netherlands, Ireland, Lithuania, Slovenia and Spain. The United Kingdom, as always, hedging, he said that he was “in line with legal obligations in internal and international law.” Meanwhile, Hungary, Prime Minister Victor Orban, refused to impose the decision. And among the biggest European players – France, Germany and Italy – the answer changed to the dismissal of the accident. France, Netanyahu enjoyed immunity because Netanyahu was not a member of the ICC; Italy said he was arrested; Friedrich Merz, the newly selected Chancellor of Germany, even promised to call Netanyahu “roads and means”.

Given that the European leaders are responsible for the Israeli, Palestinian Solidarity continues to sing and dance in the ruins of the Palestinian life, only Israel continues to dance.

However, this union is not only political. Those who are introduced indicate that it is cultural and even “civilization”.

Many Western intellectuals are as long as a forpost of European values ​​in the wild region. After October 7, this narrative has been updated freshly urgently. French public intellectual Bernard-Henry Levy, while insisting on the “Human Rights Defender” in Israel, apartheid And all – as a spiritual beacon as compared to the usual “others”: Russian, Turks, Chinese, Persian and Arabs. The emperor ambitions claimed that Israel had a greater threat to “civilization from the political policy of colonial to the West Bank”. He even appreciated Israel’s “moral strength” and evaluated the words that did not go well after the 19-month-old pure massacre in Gaza.

American commentator Josh Hammer’s book, Israel and civilization: The fate of the Jewish people and the fate of the West is even more open. For him, Israel is the West’s “agent” in an area that faces violence and Islamic terrorism. Those who support the Palestinian rights, “Anti-American, anti-western jackal” in their words. British commentator Douglas Murray Demoes Demoes Demoes Demoes Demoes Demoes Demoes Demoes Demoes Demoes Demoes and Death Cultions Book: Israel calls Israel in a good way in a bad world.

Israeli leaders also accepted this language. Netanyahu, shortly after October 7, “Israel struggles with the enemies of civilization,” he called on the West to show “moral clarity.” According to this world, Israel does not only defend itself – defends all Western civilization.

All this can be sounded away from a song contest. However, Eurovision has always been more than sequins and key changes. This is a projection of Europe and Europe, as a concept, has always been politically. It is based on the colonial legacy that imagines Europe as clear, regular and rational and rational – an emotional and irrational non-European “other”.

This inherited colonial conquest and violence of faced rebellions. The massacres were thrown as the price of the charter; Ethnic cleansing, a cultured mission. Today, the same narrative, the Western frames live as a democracy that is a boldness against how Israel is built and barbarism.

Thus, people can not help Israel from Eurovision in connection with this year’s voting allegations, the mockery did not pass the red line of the genocide campaign in Gaza – but did not be deceived in a song contest.

If Eurovision will now expel Israel, it would never be the hardest punishment that the continent would be the nation and would not be to mix with pop music to kill.

Thus, yes – I believe that Israel remains in Eurovision.

After all, Europe and Israel deserve each other.
