Can Eurovision claim to be apolitical after banning Russia? | LBC debate

Ali Miraj wonders if Eurovision can claim to be apolitical after banning Russia following its invasion of Ukraine.
Israel's Eurovision singer Eden Golan was ordered to stay in her hotel room by her country's national security agency yesterday as thousands protested her entry into the competition.
Protesters lined the streets in Malmo to demand that Ms Golan be removed from the renowned song competition, including climate activist Greta Thunberg.

    LBC seems to have made a very sudden and hurried lurch to the right. This host suddenly and casually ridicules Thunberg for no apparent reason, other key presenters have clearly been spooked into saying nothing about fellow presenters curiously disappearing from the roster or else mumble something vague about listening figures being paramount...all very odd

As a result, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), the organization that manages the Eurovision Song Contest, requested a rewrite of the song in late February 2024. After multiple submissions and rewrites, a final revised version, titled "Hurricane", was approved by the EBU on 7 March.

    I believe Israel will win because of minority support thoughout Europe focussed on a single entrant. This will be seen in Israel as as support for Israel's war in Gazza.

    People are defending Israel's inclusion in the contest on the basis that the contest is 'not political'. Fair enough, but, firstly, the song was a veiled reference to 7 October (so, the song was political), and, secondly, many people have said they voted for Israel multiple times in order to demonstrate they were 'against Hamas'. You CAN'T have it both ways. Either Israel's inclusion and song isn't political, or it is.

    The Ukrainian broadcaster in the EBU (UA:PBC) filed an appeal in 2022 to ban Russian broadcasters due to them functioning as propaganda mouthpieces for Russia (and receiving state funding) since the start of the invasion in 2014. This wasn't enough to have them banned, it was only after Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland and Norway joined them and Estonia and Finland said they would not take part if Russia were allowed to that a ban was put in place.

    I am still struggling to understand why the European Broadcasting Union could ban Russia in 2022 after it invaded Ukraine but said that it could not ban israel for invading Gaza in 2023. What double standard and hypocrisy is that? And the cancellation of Sangita Myska on LBC. So much for the West's much vaunted rights of free speech and democracy. When it comes to Israel, different standards apply, don't they?

    It was easy to ban Russia since almost every EBU member state had cut diplomatic ties and issued sanction on it. I`d rather ask why no one is sactioning Israel at the moment. But sadly answer to this is USA. When you have a school yard bully with a bigger brother so no one dares to oppose him, you end up with a sociopath who thinks he can do what ever he likes. And as it seems, the bully is right.

    I kind of agree with the woman who called, she's not the one who's bombing Gaza and but in the same time, READ THE ROOM DEAR + she's contributing to Israel's propaganda (because of course her song is about October 7th!). Overall I'm a little conflicted about this one. I hate that she's there but let's just remember that shes a human being with emotions and that ultimately she's not the one we are mad about, she's just the face of it. Maybe we can hate her, but with moderation?

    I don't hate the singer. I actually felt a little sorry for her. She is no more to blame for Israel's actions than the US and Russian athletes for their own nations deciding to boycott the 1980 and 1984 Olympics respectively. That said, you're right that the song is a veiled reference to 7 October, and, thus, de facto Israeli propaganda. Thus, the song contest is being intrinsically political by allowing this artist to perform and without a counterpoint being provided by, say, a Palestinian performer.

Respect Aretha Franklin and one of the Eurovision royalties better known as ABBA MADE A POLITICAL SONG IN 1982 called The Visitors the theme is a protest against the persecution of political dissidents in the Soviet Union also she’s the Israeli singer is singing a political song so your argument just fall apart anyway because she already made a political with her song

    Precisely to the first point. I don't have a problem with an Israeli representative in the competition, just as long as there is a Palestinian one to even-up the balance, otherwise it's just propaganda (and bear in mind that the Israeli song, as heartfelt as it was, was a veiled reference to 7 October, and thus arguably a piece of artistic propaganda).
