Queer artists urge UK’s Eurovision entry Olly Alexander to boycott competition over Israel
Euronews ^ | march 28 | By David Mouriquand

Posted on 03/30/2024 8:39:48 AM PDT by RandFan

More than 450 queer artists, musicians and writers have signed a letter calling for Britain's Eurovision 2024 entry Olly Alexander to boycott this year's competition.

The group, Queers for Palestine, include the actors Maxine Peake and Brigette Lundy-Paine, band Goat Girl, and writers Sarah Schulman and Jason Okundaye.

Their letter – which can be read in full here – comes after a number of countries and organisations lobbied for a mass boycott of the event due to Israel's involvement in the competition.

The letter reads: "By refusing to expel Israel from the competition, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) is providing cultural cover and endorsement for the catastrophic violence that Israel has unleashed on Palestinians."

May they all go to “Palestine” and be introduced to the sport of BASE jumping without a parachute.

“By refusing to expel Israel from the competition, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) is providing cultural cover and endorsement for the catastrophic violence that Israel has unleashed on Palestinians.”

Years of poking the tiger and all of a sudden the tiger really responds and they’re all “ceasefire” and “catastrophic violence” ...

The enemies of Israel. Send them to “Palestine” and dee how long they last. Buggered, then murdered, likely.

If these queers actually went to Palestine they would be thrown from a rooftop within 24 hours. And the world may actually be a better place.

None of these useful idiots ever cite the barbaric violence and barbarities unleashed against Israelis citizens and others by Hamas on October 7th. Or that peace could be had today if Hamas surrendered.

Moron queers. Any Muslim would just kill them - homos are the opposite of a protected class in Islam.

“Queers for Palestine,” Could there possibly be an idea for a group more suicidally stupid?
