oatmeal<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Palestine</a> / EBU Urges Israel to allow foreign journalists access to GazaThe <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EBU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EBU</a> calls on the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Israeli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Israeli</a> government to unblock access to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaza</a> for foreign journalists, who have been banned since October 2023. The EBU highlights the critical role of Palestinian journalists and the need for international media to support their efforts by reporting from inside Gaza. Unrestricted access is crucial for press freedom and independent reporting.<a href="https://www.ebu.ch/news/2025/05/ebu-urges-unrestricted-access-to-gaza-for-foreign-journalists" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ebu.ch/news/2025/05/ebu-urges-unrestricted-access-to-gaza-for-foreign-journalists</a>This appeal follows a similar request from the EBU last year. Israel’s participation in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Eurovision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eurovision</a>, despite restricting access to Gaza for foreign journalists, may be seen as inconsistent with the obligations of its membership. Shouldn’t this lead to KAN’s ineligibility to participate in the Eurovision, at least? You’d think that an ongoing genocide makes the absurd arrangements the EBU is insisting on seem somewhat redundant. More than 70 media and civil society organizations, including the Associated Press, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BBC</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EBU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EBU</a> and The New York Times, have signed an open letter urging Israel to give journalists independent access to Gaza. They highlight that no independent media access has been permitted since the start of the war, increasing pressure on local journalists and creating room for misinformation. The organizations emphasize that over 100 journalists have been killed since the war began, and those remaining face extreme deprivation. <a href="https://cpj.org/2024/07/media-organizations-urge-israel-to-open-access-to-gaza/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cpj.org/2024/07/media-organizations-urge-israel-to-open-access-to-gaza/</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@palestine</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@israel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GazaGenocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PressFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PressFreedom</a>

oatmeal[followup] Audio analysis confirms <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Eurovision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eurovision</a> producers selectively removed audience boos and "Free Palestine" chants during Israel's 2024 contestant performance, contradicting <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EBU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EBU</a>'s public denial of censorship. This fact alone challenges Israelis on social media, interpreting Eurovision public voting count as support for their position rather than what they term the "Hamas narrative" promoted by anti-genocide protesters. Beyond debates about voting patterns and allegations of Israeli-organized voting campaigns, technical examination of broadcast feeds reveals concrete audio manipulation that preserved cheers while eliminating protest sounds—raising significant questions about Eurovision's claimed political neutrality amid controversy over Israeli participation during the ongoing genocide in Gaza.<a href="https://theintercept.com/2025/05/17/eurovision-censored-israel-booing-free-palestine/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theintercept.com/2025/05/17/eurovision-censored-israel-booing-free-palestine/</a>

Rook 🏳️‍⚧️Israel continuing to be allowed in <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Eurovision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eurovision</a> and facing zero consequences - even when obviously breaking the rules of the contest, multiple years in a row now - is a clear sign that the <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/EBU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EBU</a> either don't care about Israel's crimes against humanity, or they straight up support it. Either way, the <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/ESC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ESC</a> is dead to me. I didn't watch last year. I didn't watch this year. And at this point, even with a complete turnaround - including exclusion of Israel, lifting the flag bans, and removing the anti-booing tech - I wouldn't be able to ever truly enjoy it again. They have betrayed the public and their fan base repeatedly, and deserve to be forgotten.

Ken M SweeneyIf the result tells us anything, it's that the voting system for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Eurovision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eurovision</a> is capable of being totally manipulated. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Israeli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Israeli</a> agents across <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Europe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Europe</a> and the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/world" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#world</a> without a shadow of doubt made a blatant attempt to steal a victory.

oatmeal[followup] Who would be interested in watching an Israeli performer in Basel while Israel plans to establish a concentration camp for 2.5 million Palestinians on the outskirts of the Gaza Strip?
