🇮🇪 BAMBIE THUG MISSES FINAL DRESS REHEARSAL AND RELEASES STATEMENT

[@dylan7003]

This year's Eurovision is going very smoothly.......😬

[@aggeliki007]

Stage will be epic I can feel it 😂

[@AnnaMaria-123]

Yea it is like a hurricane I wish we could have avoided 😬

[@Olivier-GM]

Martin Österdahl should resign.

[@lord123j]

Needs to go, tonight!

[@AnnaMaria-123]

He should have been replaced already last year.

[@Olivier-GM]

NRK has told about why Switzerland, Greece and Ireland have not gone to the flag parade. These teams were complaining about a member of the israeli delegation who took rude videos of them and posted on the social media.

[@PA-lf8sd]

@ceciliebille8501 Shock. Ireland has been gunning for that from the beginning... It's getting really boring.

[@Eva-mp7xg]

@@PA-lf8sd The boring thing is how EBU didn't react to this, while DQ'ed Joost for one verbal threat. Filming someone without their consent is illegal in Sweden.

This Eurovision is a circus. It could have been avoided if one country was banned

Didn't hamas attack a music festival in Israel last year.

[@magimixil]

Yes 500 ppl murder over there

[@HZ-fg9sf]

Yup they did which was heinous but did you also know that Israel has had blockade limiting resources and basic necessities going into Gaza for over a decade? There's even calculations to keep the population in Gaza on a calorie deficit, which is also messed up. People are desperate and desperate people do stupid things. But of course, 2 wrongs don't make a right, and 3 wrongs don't make a right. It is a vicious cycle where both sides have done wrong. But palestinians and hamas are not in the competition with propaganda, songwashing intentions here. I think people just want rules to apply to everyone equally.

[@PA-lf8sd]

@@HZ-fg9sf I think people just want these arsehole "performers" to stop fucking whining and to perform. Getting really really boring...

[@littlecatfeet9064]

@@HZ-fg9sfIsrael isn’t in charge of everything that comes in and goes out of Gaza, and by the looks of them not many people are starving. Plus they receive billions in aid from the UN, US, EU, Iran and Qatar yearly. If the situation is desperate enough I’m sure the three Hamas leaders who are billionaires living in Qatar will donate to help out.

[@docknightphilco4550]

Thanks for the updates folks. But what does statement by Bambi even mean???? Its just waffle and lots of words, with no real rhyme or reason for her actions!!

[@PA-lf8sd]

It's just a desperate attempt to get Israel knocked out... Sad.

[@zox120]

All these nonsense is stupid. I feel sorry for the people who purchased expensive tickets for the show and all other artists who are performing for their countries. This is bs. Politics shouldn't be part of the music competition. Leave it where it belongs.

[@mariosultana1478]

100% Well said!

[@sf757]

Socio-political circumstances are part of everyday life including any cultural event such as music competition. Unless you take strong tranquillisers and you live life without any awareness whatsoever. Organisers of this event HAVE NO RIGHT TO STAY SILENT also and play this stupid game of 'leave politics out of it'. Politics involves supporting Ukraine, fighting for LGBTQ rights, everything! IT is our DUTY to raise our voices against genocide, far right and fascist agendas that are sweeping across Europe and beyond. Wake Up People!

[@angelaburrow8114]

The problems is that the Israeli delegation is verbally attacking & threatening artists, members of other delegations & even journalilsts who have spoken out against the war at some point. RVTE complained after a Spanish journalist was threatened. He said that in 11 years he's been working at the event, he's never felt unsafe, yet he did when he was surrounded by people from the Israeli delegation as they were calling him names & threatening him. Bambi Thug's dancer was also verbally attacked by them within the last 48 hours. I wonder if her statement has something to do with that. It's not BS when people are being threatened. The EBU disqualified Joost yet are letting the entire Israeli delegatioon get away with appalling behaviour. It's nothing to do with politics, as such, but all to do with people trying to bully & threaten those who don't agree with them. One of the worst ones appears to be Dov Gil Har, from the vidoes I've seen when he was trying to push around the Dutch delegation before the incident that left Joost disqualified. They're pushing people around & getting away with it.

[@johnny11415]

What a mess!

[@Olivier-GM]

I've never seen this in decades. I watch the contest since 1987... It's very sad.

[@BB6_MM]

The one country that is not bringing politics to the table is Israel! Everyone talking about it are the ones making the ESC just about politics! And then they feel bad! This is about music! And this girl didn’t decided anything about any war! She probably lost friends and family during the attack and has to endure constant bullying from basically everyone! She rehearsed wit her team harassing her! Everyone is the victim but the actual victim! This brings me so bad memories from school! I would be bullied but at end still was my fault! I guess we’ll never learn and be better humans!

[@davebyrne1980]

In the public eye, they are not doing much... but behind the scenes, members of the Israeli delegation are intimidating other contestants and journalists... including taking video behind the scenes and then posting those videos on social media with derogatory and insulting messages

[@chiefd3]

If this cause is not about seeking personal political correctness and drama-seeking, here's a thought, go out and make a real difference by running for elected office, and changing governmental policy. In the meantime how about letting those who want to perform in a musical contest, merely SING for crying out loud!

[@PA-lf8sd]

This is all this about. Neurosis.

[@JNL76]

I agree, I am starting to be fed up about all particpants airing their opinions. I don't care about their opinions, the world is a big mess and I want music and joy. Do what your being paid for, your job, which is making music. And if you want to make statement, run for president.

[@JNL76]

But please, let's not give this more attention than necessary and give the example of spreading love 🥰

[@amandahamilton2987]

A real attention seeker this one

[@angelaburrow8114]

Attention seeker? Her dancer was attacked by the Israeli delegation. Her statement might have something to do with that. Will you still think she's an attention seeker if she's simply trying to protect her team from abuse & violence?
