No, I'm still not over this. A Spanish reporter was begging the EBU to ensure freedom of press at the ESC because he got intimidated by the Israeli delegation yesterday. Like this alone should've warrant a fucking ban. Not to mention they shouldn't be here in the first place. Like in every corner of the world, Israel is allowed to break the rules and commit crimes without any repercussions. I'm so sick to my stomach. This is not what the ESC stands for initially. But money talks more than morals.

As of rn, Israel is still harassing other artists. They create an unsafe environment for everyone, the artists, and the audience. If this is the last contest ever, congratulations for ruining the legacy over a genocidal country that isn't even in Europe.

🍉 Bashar Murad - MASKHARA بشار مراد مسخرة

From a 2021 interview with Bashar, where he explains some of the choices behind his music video for Maskhara:

[...] Meanwhile, the coffee cup reading is a metaphor of family expectations, and the pink outfits, the pink lighting and filters, and pink roses stuffed into a military tank are a nod to pinkwashing – the promotion of the queer-friendliness of a political entity to distract from human rights abuses. As a gay Palestinian himself, the latter hits close to home. In 2019, Bashar attracted global headlines through his involvement in Globalvision, an alternative concert that was livestreamed simultaneously with Eurovision in Tel Aviv – which had been plagued with pinkwashing controversy. "We didn't get the same number of viewers as Eurovision, but it still felt like we were doing something important," Bashar recalls. "Eurovision is a very queer event. It's also a musical event, so it was not just pinkwashing, it was also artwashing. As a gay artist, it was so important for me to make a statement. "They were also emphasising the fact that Eurovision is not political when it's the epitome of politics. It's different countries voting for and against each other and flags being waved everywhere. "But when it comes to Palestine and our voices, we were shut down. We were told that no, this is not a political event, this is a party and this is a happy event."
