The Ukrainian army has also been killing and destroying lives, should they also be banned from all events?

 

oh god. Well I guess Ukraine are defending themselves against an invasion from an overwhelming more powerful country, whereas Israel are killing and destroying 1000s of lives because of a terrorist attack. So a few nuanced differences.

Maybe if Palestine was a european country we'd feel differently?

I'm sure there's some simple and straightforward reason that they're not in the EBU.

Commentator 1: Wow, this is a very strange entrant compared to what we are used to from Ireland.

Certainly not Dana, that’s for sure😊😉

Exactly. It's very nuanced. Ukraine was attacked by Russia. Israel was attacked by Hamas. Just because Ukraine is struggling to enact as good as a response as Israel, isn't really the performers fault.

I’ll be honest, I’ll take Bambie Thug over Dana any day! Much more interesting and beats the hell out of us sending a Turkey puppet! 😁

Anyway. Thread locked soon.

Ukraine was invaded by Russia. Hamas are a terrorist group that carried out a terrorist attack on Israel, and which Israel has responded by basically destroying Gaza and killing shitloads of innocent civilians.  Subtle differences.

Check out this c**t who thinks that history started on 7th October.

 

 

 

Lol. I see you're a well-balanced individual with a broad understanding of the issues at hand. 

 

 

 

[steviewevie]

anyway, off the back of all this and the fact loads will either boycott or vote for a particular reason I wouldn't be that surprised if Israel won and then the internet goes into meltdown.

Sure, that's right. Any innocent lives killed in any war, dating back to centuries, is a horrible consideration. But perhaps if Hamas didn't use schools and hospitals as bases for their military operations this number would be a lot lower. Their use of human shields is well documented. Accordingly, if Hamas gave up the hostages, the ceasefire would be signed.

Ok, so bomb them anyway and blame Hamas?
