Narcissistic Jewish supremacy at the Eurovision

Every sane moral person opposes the State of Israel today. This includes Israelis like me. I am against Israel at Eurovision. ■ I oppose this on moral grounds. It disgusts me. When I see pictures of starving children in Gaza, the Lord is either to blame or He does not exist.

The Eurovision song contest exposes the blind and foolish nationalism of most pseudo-liberals in Israel. The sight of Palestinian flags at the dress rehearsal in Basel causes even staunch opponents of the government, such as Lucy Aharish and Keren Peles, to voice in two separate programs the bizarre argument that those waving Palestinian flags around the world misunderstand the humanitarian essence of the wonderful State of Israel. Aharish and Peles ignore the indiscriminate mass killing of Gazans, their starving out, the intention to “ship”’ them through Transfer, war crimes, the deepening of the heinous apartheid in the West Bank, and the invasion of Syria.

Every sane moral person opposes the State of Israel today. This includes Israelis like me. I am against Israel at Eurovision. In Basel, Yuval Raphael represents a country that has gone off the rails and openly declares its intention to commit war crimes. The inability of Aharish and Peles to understand that hostility towards Israel is justified reminds one of white Afrikaners in the 1970s, who sincerely believed that Apartheid was necessary and beneficial.

During the interview with Peles, a video was played in the background showing the delegation leaving a dress rehearsal. Peles was also there. At the head of the cheerful procession was Raphael. Everyone was waving Israeli flags and sang together, hugging “Tamid Ohev Oti” which Wikipedia describes as religious Pop Song inspired by the Gaza war , “ (The Lord) Always Loves Me… and it will get even better, and even better.” As an Israeli, I would refuse to march in such a delegation, in such a context, and to sing this song. I oppose this on moral grounds. It disgusts me. When I see pictures of starving children in Gaza, the Lord is either to blame or He does not exist.

[The rest of the column deal with an internal religious matter.]
