Why this petition matters

Started by Lotta Backman

This year the grand final in Eurovision is held in Malmoe, Sweden. A place with a large Palestinian refugees population.

UPDATE!!

The EBU stands rigid about having Israel as a contender in the ESC 2024

You all know what I think about this.....

Please take a minute to send an e-mail (or several) to tell the organizers and decision makers what you think.

First of all, Why is ISRAEL even a participant in the Eurovision Song Contest competition.

Second of all, nobody wants to see, hear or have anything to do with Israel as the state is a violator of so many human rights during its genocide in Gaza! Israel is committing serious war crimes on a daily basis in Gaza & the West Bank towards Palestinians. And as of January 2024 Israel are currently in court (ICJ) for committing genocide.

And why should people who watch the ESC in millions for entertainment purposes have to involuntarily support Israeli interests and unlawful actions.

Thou it might seem as a minor thing to stop Israel´s participation in the Eurovison Song Contest 2024, especially in times where they have increased and continue the vial crimes of killings of civilians in Gaza.

But a public "shaming" in a field where Israel feels safe is still a very important statement against their crimes against international laws and their continued killing of children and civilians in Gaza.

Also, me being a Swede, and that the CEO of the Eurovision Song Contest Mr Martin Österdahl is Swedish, is making this petition extra important for me to grow.

So please, feel free to share and promote this petition. Not only for the signatures, but also for more views on the information in the added links in the petition.

When Russia invaded Ukraine ESC was very fast and firm, banning Russia from participation and even made a "low key" celebratory Ukranian theme on the final.

Please help stop Israel from participating in Eurovision Song Contest in Malmoe 2024 and have them banned from the competition for all future shows.

Though it might be hard, since Israeli company Moroccan oil is one of the ESC ´s biggest sponsors...

  Why make Gaza uninhabitable?

  Hello and greetings my fellow petitioners. Today it is the 17th of February 2024 and the destruction and ethnic cleansing in Gaza has continued for over 4 months. Today it is called for a global action day, to stop the genocide on Palestinians, so please take time to walk (if only for a while) in your local protests, there is power in numbers and we know that by now. But back to my headline question.   It is now painfully obvious to many of us that Israels armed forces has executed, not only human beings, children, elderly, mothers, fathers, and even animals in Gaza. The number of casualties is on a constant rise and as of the latest number I saw that closer to 14 000 children has been murdered, You can´t even imagine how many children that is, how many schools, daycare centers and playgrounds would house 14 000 children. Unfathomable. As we see the complete destruction of Gaza, I can´t help to think about why Israels army are so determined to destroy everything. Living or dead (as in buildings) in the Gaza territorium. The hospitals in particular. Remember the "first" big news about a hospital being bombed i Gaza? How the news was "not sure" who had bombed? Was it Israel or was it a bomb from inside Gaza that failed? Well, as of today we all can see who did that bombing. And the plan Israel seems to have is getting clearer to us every minute. There shall be NO way for the Palestinian people to stay in Gaza to revive their everyday life and to recover, as a people, culture or inhabitants of the Gaza territory. The building of a "buffer zone" for people to move, from Gaza to Egypt right outside of Rafah is also very eerie and unsettling.    As I read thru the comments on this petition the other day, someone mentioned that the US only gets involved in wars when there is money, natural resources and things that benefit them financially, and that is very true. Then, when good old Joe B, the other day in a press conference, mistakenly said - Our operation, when referring to the ongoing Genocide in Gaza it became obvious that something is a given...   So I googled, (my favorite activity)"Israel", "Palestine" "Natural resources" and "Oil" and "Gas". And lo and behold, this is what i found. I found an article written in June 2021, by Mahmoud Elkhafif that was published by Aljazeera. Quote below. After Israel’s latest military operation, and the ensuing massive devastation in Gaza, the international community has pledged hundreds of millions of dollars to help with the reconstruction of the Strip. However, a lasting end to conflict between Israel and Palestine will not be possible without long-term investment in Palestine’s economic and human development, running into billions of dollars per year. An overlooked means of generating these revenues would be to allocate Palestine its fair share of benefits of oil and natural gas reserves in the occupied territories and the Eastern Mediterranean, which are currently being exploited only by Israel. And the article continues:   The Israeli military occupation of Palestinian territories since 1967 and the blockade of the Gaza Strip since 2007 have prevented the Palestinian people from exercising any control over their own fossil fuel resources, denying them much-needed fiscal and export revenues and leaving the Palestinian economy on the verge of collapse. The economic costs inflicted on the Palestinian people under occupation are well documented: tight restrictions on the movement of people and goods; the confiscation and destruction of property and assets; loss of land, water and other natural resources; a fragmented domestic market and separation from neighbouring and international markets; and the expansion of Israeli settlements that are illegal under international law. To read full article please go here   If this isn´t  a reason for the US to be so extremely invested in this genocide and complete destruction of Gaza, I don´t know what is.  But, what do I know. I´m just a girl who wants Israel out of Eurovision Song Contest.   This ends my update for today. But I hope we as a collective, can and will change the outcome for Gaza and it´s people. Free Palestine and end this ongoing genocide! Respectfully/Lotta

  If Russia is banned for invading, annexing and committing war crimes in another country, then Israel, who is doing the same but on a much larger scale, has no business being allowed in. If it's good enough for Russia, it's good enough for Israel.
  And for Azerbaijan.

  Clearly there is a genocide happening in front of our eyes. No matter what, the Israel response to anything should never be a genocide nor collective punishment. It is crimes against humanity.
