francesca albanese has cited eurovision, along with the olympics, fifa, fiba and other sporting and cultural events, as sheltering israel from accountability by not removing it from their competitions. if that is not a damning indictment of eurovision’s complicity in genocide i don’t know what is.

we’re all used to cultural and sporting institutions claiming they are “non-political” and care about “unity” to avoid responsibility by now, but outright attacking a country’s ability to host events is a new low. shameful.
