#Eurovision's most significant and damning effect is to whitewash #Israel's #genocide in #gaza.
They can heave a sigh of relief Israel didn't win, but the important point is that they allowed Israel the chance, and coming in second place shows that the system - however you define it - does not care about genocide.
The world is a dangerous place and not just for Palestinians, when genocide becomes something that does not matter to people or those who determine who gets to play.
