    Eurovision Song Contest: “Hit Israel where it hurts” says Flemish liberals’ Gwendolyn Rutten


    Flemish liberal Gwendolyn Rutten believes the Flemish public broadcaster should not air the Eurovision Song Contest due to Israel’s participation, supporting a boycott initiative by over 1,000 artists. Rutten suggests hitting Israel economically by reducing viewership and impacting the festival’s main Israeli sponsor.

      Belgium should never have participated in the first place.

      But hey … 404 – no spine found.

      This could be the last edition of Eurovision. Especially when Israel wins (and they will).

      Hu I always thought the liberal family was close to the Jewish community. But probably that’s now limited to the MR and in Flanders it moved to the NVA.

      A useless small country says to another small country what he must do. So ridiculous.

      Imagine still supporting this farce of an event. Feel bad for whoever is participating and putting effort in, but it’s just shameless at this point

      My utter disinterest for that song contest aside, if Gwendolyn genuinely believes that will even put a dent in Israel’s warmongering, I’ve got an idea for a monorail around Aarschot to sell her.

      Bon, Rutten is verre van een persoon die staat voor principes en waarden, maar dat wil niet zeggen dat ze geen gelijk heeft hier. Boycotten die onzin in de hoop dat onze politici eindelijk is naar het volk gaan luisteren.
