Last December, members of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU)
decided that Israel would be allowed to participate in the annual singing
contest despite the ongoing conflict in Gaza (and now in Lebanon/Iran too).
EUROVISION will be organsized in Vienna on May 16.
Now, the No Music For Genocide organisiation, which encourages artists
and rights-holders to pull their music from streaming platforms in Israel, is
calling for artists, broadcasters and fans to boycott the competition.
An open letter shared today has been signed by artists including Brian Eno, Kneecap,
Massive Attack, Paloma Faith, Paul Weller, Kneecap, Hot Chip, Of Monsters and Men, IDLES, Primal Scream, Sigur Rós, Young Fathers, Mogwai, Black Country New Road, Erika de Casier, Nadine Shah, Dry Cleaning, Ólafur Arnalds, David Holmes, Nemahsis, Macklemore, Roger Waters, Peter Gabriel, Vacations, Smerz, a number of former Eurovision finalists and
more.
