Once again, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) flaunts its colonial hypocrisy and shameless complicity in Israel's genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza. With its latest justifications for allowing apartheid lsrael to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest as it carries out its genocide in Gaza, while Russia was swiftly banned for its illegal invasion of Ukraine, the EBU proves its utter disregard for Palestinian life. The EBU has failed to ban genocidal Israel, failed to stand up for contestants who disagree with Israel's participation, and failed to listen to millions of fans calling on it to drop lsrael. In a desperate attempt to shift the blame, it now points the finger at human rights supporters. The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of lsrael (PACBI), a founding member of the BDS movement, reiterates our call on all Eurovision contestants to be on the right side of history by immediately withdrawing from this year's tarnished contest.
