“alleged war crimes”
God, I hate the guardian. The idf is literally videotaping and bragging about the war crimes they’re doing, adding “alleged” is just insulting at this point.
Those are simply “videos of alleged war crimes” obviously
For real, them and basically all the big outlets weren’t leaning into calling shit “alleged” when the IOF and Israeli media were making false claims about Palestine (along with calling Israeli children kids/children but calling Palestinian children shit like “youths”).
I think it is kind of darkly funny that “small country that is in the Eurovision despite being wholly located in Asia and should be banned for commiting ethnic cleansing/genocide” is actually a category with more than one member. Because they also let Azerbajdzjan in every year.

Wasn’t aware Australia was in Asia
Australia also competes in the AFC Asia football cup.
Why is Israel in EUROvision to begin with?
Lol, just kidding, I know why.
Also: Israel competes in UEFA while every country they border is in the Asian or African confederation
The people there are mostly of European decent. I will respect their ancestral claim to their European homeland.
Icelandic artists being cool doesn’t surprise me, but the Finns coming in clutch was a pleasant shock.
The Finnish ones just hate Jewish people
I was gonna say, Finland going anti-Israel is gonna be the first time the “X-country is just antisemitic!” accusations are true
Maybe it’s just the groups I follow but Finland has had pro-Palestine protests basically every week. They’re pretty small, but I could see an artist or two coming from that crowd
I’m mostly just joking around, I don’t know much about Finland other than “The Axis member who didn’t get bad press for it,” I live in the Great Satan and there are decent people even here.
I mean you’re basically right lol
The average Finn isn’t likely to be anti-semitic. They make up for it by being incredibly racist towards Roma, black people and Muslims

Man, that’s a lot of words for “Finland was a member of the Anti-Comintern Pact that was allied to Nazi Germany during the Holocaust, which they knew about because they saw Germany summarily execute people for being Jews.”
This is a communist community, “Look they weren’t really antisemitic, they just hated communists sooooo much that they had to ally with the Nazis” isn’t going to play well.

Do they even have any Jews in Finland to hate in the first place?
Well not anymore.

I can’t see Israel participating. Eurovision has a lot of young viewers, and young people have overwhelmingly negative opinions about Israel. They can’t vet the entire live audience.
Disgusting the way they say “alleged war crimes”.
Literally everything we do matters. Fuck yeah. Ban those fuckheads
pff, this kind of meddling will turn eurovision into a JOKE!
It’s finally happened, a post about Finnish people on Hexbear that doesn’t make me wince
i’d think making them stay in Eurovision would be punishment enough.
