Watch: Australia’s parliament horrified that Oz gave Israel ‘nul points’ in Eurovision
Failure to vote for Israel in the Eurovision song contest is antisemitic — according to Australia’s Senate. Ozzie senators are apparently untroubled by Israel’s blatant rigging of public and panel votes. But they are deeply alarmed at the fact that Australia’s official judges dared to give the genocidal colony ‘nul points’. So much so that they want an investigation into the non-scandal:
Eurovision — colonial nonsense
Israel, of course, is not in Europe. Neither is Australia, which just goes to show what a colonial nonsense the whole thing is. Audiences are waking up to it, apparently, with viewer numbers collapsing and several core nations boycotting the whole thing.
US-Jewish journalist and commentator said the situation was “beyond parody” and a prelude to obligatory Israel-support in future contests:
Beyond parody at this point. They already eroded their free speech laws to protect Israel. Next: mandatory voting for Israel in song competitions.
Better than even odds that the UK gets there first, mind.

As an Australian, I support whoever was responsible – apparently 7 people in a jury appointed by SBS. Well done!
Yeah let’s also give 0 points to Hungary next year for being so anti migrant. And max points to Spain for boycotting Israel.
I don’t live in Australia, I live in Europe. As for Israel, it’s in the Middle East, so why is it in a European.competition? No idea. But the real issue isn’t location, it is genocide. Every day Gazans are killed, even in a ceasefire. Palestinians are imprisoned for no offence (well over 9,000 and rising). They are tortured, badly fed, humiliated and killed. Their homes and belongings have been destroyed. Family members have been killed by bombing. Over 260 Palestinian journalists have been killed – murdered. Doctors have been locked up and in some cases tortured to death. All hospitals were bombed, starting on day one of the genocide. Israel should not be in any music competition, nor in any festival of the arts or of sport. The committee in the Australian Parliament should be well aware of all of this, that is part of their job.
This ^^^
Why is an Australian senator wasting public resources on this?
Same reason the UK is wasting public resources locking up pensioners for saying they oppose genocide, I expect.
Rich coming from Aussies, soldiers openly talking about doing worse shit in Iraq than what Israeli soldiers get years in jail for.
