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

As Palestinians face famine and the death of 34,000 people at the hands of Israeli forces, Israel is still set to compete in the widely watched Eurovision Song Contest. 

We have just 72 hours. 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 widely watched Eurovision Song Contest, happening in just days. 

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. 

Add your name: Ban Israel from Eurovision

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

Despite the UN ceasefire resolution, Israel has started its invasion of Rafah. Now with so much uncertainty ahead, we must keep up that pressure until we see a permanent end to the violence.   

34,000 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. 

Sign the petition calling on Eurovision to ban Israel from the Song 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.

Thanks for all that you do,
Angus, Rewan, Rosa, David, Eoin, and the team at Ekō
