Isn't it funny how all the hate in this world is somehow linked to or fueled by some religious belief?

Sorry but from what is being reported in this instance the Dutch guy is basically the kid that starts things and then someone gets him back he can't handle it and turns violent. Not normal behaviour at all.
Nah I don't think I agree with that. People are just hateful and they'll always find a reason.
Religion, race, sexuality, gender etc. There's always something to hate.
Gaza is a colonial land grab framed as some existential crisis for the Zionists. They will make it about religion but it isn’t. The Palestinians just want their land and their rights. It’s not about religion for them.
Which doctrine and faith teaches that homosexuality is wrong? Where is that more prevalent? Yes there are naturally hateful people but they are heavily influenced by all these religious nutcases who uses their teachings as a way to brainwash them even more.
I was referring more to the point about Christians basing their prophecy on Jews being chosen to inhabit the earth etc.
It'll be interesting to see if any of the singers have the balls to protest while it's live tomorrow night. If they do it's an instant vote from me.
True but at the same time, that still exists and always will. Look at the police/black Americans situation that always pops up. Nothing to do with religion.
I think religion definitely adds to hate because of how people interpret things but without it, there would still be tribalism etc.
I think it's too simplistic to say religion is the main issue when the real issue is people themselves. Plenty of religious people live peacefully and fanatics ruin it for them and everyone else.
Didn't Iceland do some pro-palestine thing a few years back and got fined? I would vote for them if I voted.
That was it! fecking legendsIt was in Israel as well
Someone has to manage to sneak a Palestine flag on stage, although the cowards will probably cut the TV feed if they did.
BrilliantThat was it! fecking legends
That's a subjective view, the same way people or a culture can embrace racial views is no different to people being homophobic.
We all in some way conform to subconscious biases and presupposed judgements, that can be influenced by many things outside of religion.
Absolutely mind-blowing that we've gotten to the day and Israel are actually going to be allowed to perform. It's abhorrent.
It's a stain in the European history to be part of whitewashing an apartheid state for many years, and now whitewashing a genocide.

I read there were boos on the news, but I did not expect to be this big.
Fairly comprehensive thread of the rumours that were flying around. It's a total shitshow and the EBU should be deeply ashamed.

If the people were heckling him over his dead parents I hope he broke their jaw.
EBU statement:
"We are all cool with genocide, but with slapping someone we draw the line"
They banned all Kufiyahs at the event, fascism as a word can not even describe the situation, imagine banning a piece of clothes that is Iraqi in origin and not even Palestinian just to whitewash the image of an apartheid state.
Money talks as always (one of the reasons at least). Main sponsor of Eurovision is Israeli company.
Fecking hell, really?
As per that lengthy thread, members of the Israeli delegation are targeting the Dutch, Irish, Greek, and Spanish contestants. Completely against the competition's rules. The Spanish media team released a statement about them being hassled.
As a tweet said... It's the Eurovision! Who the feck behaves like this??
The EBU are actually going to kill the Eurovision this year.

I think it's because he did an Instagram post earlier this week about how they would be proud of him. Very very callous if true.
Before things get out of hand in this thread, according to the Dutch media Joost Klein threatened some female worker off the Songfestival organization.
I can't see them banning him because of an accused threat. He'll probably go on and win now.
Just reflecting how out of hand the Eurovision is
Can they just cancel the event for good?
Works for me.
Works for me.
I’m just happy my country sucks at it, so we don’t end up winning and getting the hosting responsibilities. It was a huge shit show last time that happened.
Hope so, got him at 15/1 three months ago
Ideal scenario is the whole event is cancelled. Would be amazing.
Threatening a woman? Ooo he’s hard
Netherlands disqualified. Just announced
Unlucky @Andycoleno9
they probably couldn’t endure having to listen his song againThere should be a walk off and let Israel compete with themselves.
The BBC is giving this garbage more coverage than the actual genocide.
Germany would still find a way to finish last if everyone else walked out
Hope not… UK are the most hated and nobody is going to take that away from us
We're so bad we'd finish last in the UK/Germany competition to finish last
