Journalist Michael Walker challenges Eurovision’s exclusion standards
During a panel discussion on Piers Morgan's show, journalist Michael Walker highlighted inconsistencies in the Eurovision song contest’s standards questioning why Israel hasn't faced similar consequences as Russia. He pointed out the ongoing occupation and settlement expansions in the West Bank as violations of international law.

Moral quandry piers knows when to be a lawyer and call out war crimes and when not - how convenient
"Maybe it's you guys who should leave the West bank." The pain I felt after my jaw dropped was insane.
I like how Piers had nothing to say at the end and just says I'm not a lawyer when asked whether that thing you just said that was indefensable was a war crime which it is. I think you can make a video of Piers condemning all kinds of things and quoting international law repeatedly in his arguments during these Gaza interviews, but now he's not a lawyer. 😂
And yet, you quickly condemn Russian.
It is remarkable how the Israeli apologists like to present the Oct 7attack as the beginning of an unjust war. And they can, because they know that Western audiences have never known what the IDF did to the Jenin refugee camp a few months before the Hamas attack...not to mention how they have treated Palestinians on a daily basis for decades.

How about we go all the way back to 1948, when the Arabs first rejected their own state, then tried and failed to destroy Israel?
Trying to reason with fools is very tiring
Aljazeera proved iof were swarming in the area at the time 6 year old hind rajab was shot and there was no evidence of hamas being in the area. Hind herself called palestenian red cresent before her death and told them she can see iof soldiers but didn't mention hamas, so it wasn't "cross fire" nor was it "human shield"

The University Network for Human Rights (Yale, Cornell and other law schools) conducted a thorough legal analysis and concludes that Israel has violated its obligations under the Genocide Convention and therefore commiting geno-cide. the report ist out now on their website.
Israel compared palestenians to amalekites, that was a genocidal reference since day 1
He is even way to nice and accommodating. The most important thing is for anyone talking to israelies and most Jews is that these people practice the « Pilpul » thought in the Yeshivas. It consists in opposing non arguments just to occupy the visual sound and gesture space to give the impression that they have a cosmetic impression of an argument. When what they say is always absurd, notwithstanding the fact that they also believe in the Kol Nidre prayer where lies are a religious obligation, it’s all about deceiving the interlocutor with fake non arguments 🤷🏻♂️
