Over 100 artists publish open letter calling for boycott of Eurovision in Israel

14

The 21st century nazi movement is international. BDS is the 21st-century version of Kristallnacht. Remember that the Nazis began their actions against the Jews by holding boycotts of Jewish businesses in Germany. Eurovision is not a Jewish business, but when it is held in Israel it amounts to the same thing. BDS leads directly into the genocidal rhetoric of the “Palestinians,” and to the actual genocide of the Jews. That’s what Roger Waters and these other “artists” are working toward, all the while cloaking themselves in a mantle of self-righteousness. They are anything but righteous.

“Artists call for boycott of Eurovision in Israel,” by Elad Benari, Israel National News, September 8, 2018 (thanks to Mark):

A group of more than 100 artists on Friday published an open letter in the British Guardian newspaper in which they are calling for a boycott of the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 if it is held in Israel.

“We, the undersigned artists from Europe and beyond, support the heartfelt appeal from Palestinian artists to boycott the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 hosted by Israel. Until Palestinians can enjoy freedom, justice and equal rights, there should be no business-as-usual with the state that is denying them their basic rights,” wrote the artists.

The letter claims that on May 14, days after Israel’s Eurovision win, “the Israeli army killed 62 unarmed Palestinian protesters in Gaza, including six children, and injured hundreds, most with live ammunition. Amnesty International has condemned Israel’s shoot-to-kill-or-maim policy and Human Rights Watch described the killings as ‘unlawful and calculated.’”

The violent riots in question took place along the Gaza border on the day the US relocated its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

At various points during the riots, IDF soldiers were attacked with guns and various explosives, including grenades, pipe bombs, and firebombs. Hamas openly admitted, contrary to the artists’ claims, that the majority of the rioters who were killed were members of the group.

The letter further states that “Eurovision 2019 should be boycotted if it is hosted by Israel while it continues its grave, decades-old violations of Palestinian human rights.”

“We understand that the European Broadcasting Union is demanding that Israel finds a ‘non-divisive’ location for the 2019 Eurovision. It should cancel Israel’s hosting of the contest altogether and move it to another country with a better human rights record. Injustice divides, while the pursuit of dignity and human rights unites,” it concluded.

Among the signatories to the letter are former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters, who has for years led calls to boycott Israel, as well as British composer Brian Eno, a longtime supporter of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement who in 2016 ordered an Israeli dance company to stop using his music.

Israel is due to host Eurovision next year due to the fact that it won the 2018 Eurovision contest, which took place in Lisbon on May 19, with the song “Toy” sung by Netta Barzilai….

They should boycott Muslim countries instead…such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey, Iran.

Eurovision 2019, the biggest televised music event on the planet, will be held in Israel and will be breathtaking. Mark my words. It’ll be one of the most positively memorable editions of this contest. Beyond all the BD-ASS noise there are many Europeans who see beyond the childish one-dimensional portrayal of Israel on the media. Israel won Eurovision 2018 because the European public itself, simple people, gave it the first place out of 26 countries in the Grand Final. Countries that are full of Israel haters, according to the media, gave Israel a high number of points. Am I surprised? No. The media doesn’t reflect reality. And people who appreciate Israel in Europe simply don’t exist according to it.

Take a look: (12 points is the maximum)

100 “Artists”, who gives a $ h i t. Those “Artists” are the Wurst
But yes, why not hold an A r a b v i s i o n for the best dressed “hijab” wearer? Competition of the call to hate?
Best dressed j i h a d i? Best “Festival of Eid slaughter” with plenty of screaming/suffering animals with blood, guts galore.

On second thoughts, why not hold all those quaint customs in the open in London, Berlin, Paris? give the rest of the native born a view of what’s coming.

Only hatred for Jews can bring together radical feminists and 7th century barbarian men who treat women as their personal property. I firmly believe that such hatred is so bizarrely intense that it has a Satanic element.

Under Islam you ufking artist will be the first to get killed, burned alive, quartered and beheaded. So this is not about concern for Palestinians, but hatred of Jews.

You fcuking MORONS!

I’m always puzzled by all this newly rabid hatred of Jews in America and around the world….why?
Since Hitler nearly wiped them out, why all this hatred for Jews? What have they done? And more puzzling is the hatred of Jews by OTHER JEWS!!

There is hardly any country that didn’t participate in the freeing of Jews from Hitler’s horrific camps. What has changed since then?

America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles….who is it in our country who doesn’t understand that?

I’m always left with the conclusion that it is driven by Muslims -the 14 centuries of the Death Cult – that not only hates Jews, but Christians as well. And, aided and abetted by Godless people who are like sheep following the path to destruction.

Why is it okay that we allow these people in our country? To spread their hatred, their evil against women and children, and specifically against Christians and Jews.

Why is it they are given the loudest microphone to spew their hatred? Why is it our leaders and politicians put their hand on a Bible and swore to God to uphold our laws and every day, in every way they participate in activities to tear down our country?

Look at the once venerable news outlets….newspapers once the bastions of truth and honor of what they put out to the public….now they are nothing more than propaganda rags…bought out by anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Jew globalists….

When did the Republican party change to “republican in name only”? When did the once decent Democrat party turn into words like DIMMS, Socialists, progressives? These are all words and meanings that were applied to Communists, Marxists, Fascists, etc., decades ago.

When did any party in the past became associated with BLM, Antifa…like the Democrats of today…..aren’t these the kind of destructive forces that got millions and millions of people wiped out in Russia and China before they became totalitarians?

Why are we even tolerating one of them spewing their hatred and destruction across our great land?

We have become so lazy and uninvolved in our great country’s elections…..It took President Trump -a non-politician- to come along and wake us up….

WE ARE AMERICA….THE SHINING CITY ON THE HILL….we have become less bright….our light is dimming…because we let Freedom hating scavengers into our country and then coddled them in their destruction of our country. We gave them food, housing, medical, and a microphone to spew their destruction….all on our hard earned tax dollars….

When do we say NO MORE?!!

self-hating Jews and those raised in the democrat voting (only) households are apparently with the thoughts of the liberal/pro(re)gressive/socialist/communist leftest (wrong) side and opposed to the conservative/freedom loving/country loving/patriotic/free speech side of the Constitution and United States of America.

The fascist left has no problem with the Muslim countries where rape victims are stoned to death and gays are thrown off buildings.

Up to 40% of artist/entertainers are on welfare at any given time. Most of them are also Tax Cheaters as I know personally some who were doing well on the side and never reported the extra income. Most are heavy drinkers and quite a few are dopers. They can’t/don’t want to hold down a steady job and in the case of Waters can’t hold a steady woman-he’s had 4 wives. Quite a few are guilt-ridden buggers and buggees. They ,in my opinion, are trying to conquer their guilty conscience in one fell swoop by jumping on the Blame-Israel/Jews bandwagon.
Would any intelligent reader side with them!

That is why they are artists and musicians. The thinking part of their brain has atrophied and serves little to no purpose. Why do these famous people seem to think that we give a rat’s ass about their opinion on anything? Humble much?
