Eurovision Used to Be a Campy Joy – Yet It Has Become a Cynical Way to Whitewash War.
An recent acronym came to light a couple of months following the onset of the intensive bombing of Gaza by Israel. Referred to as WCNSF, it means “Wounded child, no surviving family”. This term is found only in Gaza, according to medical experts such as paediatricians. Ordinarily, it is uncommon for physicians to care for a minor who has been bereaved of their complete family. Yet, there has been no semblance of normality about the genocide in Gaza, where whole bloodlines have been obliterated and the number of children who have lost limbs exceeds that of anywhere else in the world. Nothing ordinary about many doctors returning from a landscape of rubble with accounts of children being systematically aimed at.
A Living Nightmare In Spite Of a Reported Truce
Conditions in Gaza persist as an utter catastrophe. Essential medical supplies are not getting in those in need, and groups like Amnesty International have stated that genocidal acts are continuing. The Israeli government has denied these claims, consistent with how it denies everything it is accused of. Yet as young survivors are now suffering from the cold in makeshift tent camps, there is some ostensibly positive news: nothing is going to stop the international singing competition from pursuing its declared purpose of “togetherness and artistic sharing.” The contest will continue to roll out a prestigious stage for Israel, although several European countries have now pulled out in protest. Because this, we are told, is what global togetherness resembles.
Eurovision, of course banned Russia from competing in 2022 due to the “grave situation in Ukraine”. Yet the conflict in Gaza appears to be completely different.
A Selective Vision
Forget the fact that Israel was criticized for irregular participation methods last year in what seems to have been an bid to manipulate Eurovision. Set aside the news that a young child was allegedly fatally struck in Gaza on a recent Sunday. Pay no mind to the evidence that attacks by settlers and forced displacement in the West Bank have escalated. Disregard the condition that global media are still prevented from freely reporting in Gaza. None of this, apparently, should be allowed to get in the way of Eurovision’s self-proclaimed spirit of unity.
The Contest Continues While Ignoring Staggering Tragedy
Eurovision turns 70 next year – nearly twice the current lifespan of an individual in Gaza now. The broadcast will air, but it will likely never recapture the whimsical pleasure it once represented. An institution that was originally built on harmony has transformed into a transparent instrument to sanitize military aggression.
