As Palestinians face famine and the death of 32,000 people at the hands of
Israeli forces, Israel is still set to compete in the Eurovision song
contest. 

Let's pile on and send Eurovision a clear message: Ban Israel or we won't
be watching.

John,

Palestinians in Gaza are facing famine at the hands of Israeli forces.
Gaza’s cultural heritage sites have been decimated by 6 months of bombing.

Meanwhile, singer Eden Golan is set to represent Israel in the Eurovision
Song Contest in May. 

By allowing Israel to participate, Eurovision is whitewashing Israel's
genocide of Palestinians, right on the global stage. 

Pressure is already mounting on Eurovision, with thousands of artists and
several lawmakers speaking out in favor of a ban. Let's pile on and send
Eurovision organisers a clear message: Ban Israel or we won't be
watching.

Russia was banned the day after Putin invaded Ukraine. Eurovision is
carrying out a double-standard by not banning Israel too. 

While a ceasefire resolution just passed the UN Security Council and
brings some hope for reprieve, it was only possible after vast amounts of
public pressure. Now with so much uncertainty ahead, we must keep up that
pressure until we see a permanent end to the violence.   

32,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, and hundreds of thousands of
people are on the brink of starvation. The only way we can end the horror
unfolding in Gaza is if we keep speaking out and demanding action.

Contest now.

For years our community has been fighting to end the illegal military
occupation of Palestine. From getting Ben and Jerry's to stop selling its
ice cream in illegal settlements, to pressuring Puma to end its
sponsorship of the Israeli football team -- we have been at the forefront
of these fights and we won't back down. Let's do it again and help make
sure Israel gets banned from Eurovision too.
