Anti-Eurovision Boycott, another list of w.hores Archived Message Posted by Raskolnikov on April 30, 2019, 11:13 am Public figures including Stephen Fry, Sharon Osbourne, Marina Abramović and pop mogul Scooter Braun have signed a letter speaking out against a proposed boycott of this year’s Eurovision song contest, which is to be held in Tel Aviv in May. Their letter states that Eurovision’s “spirit of togetherness” across the continent is “under attack by those calling to boycott Eurovision 2019 because it is being held in Israel, subverting the spirit of the contest and turning it from a tool of unity into a weapon of division”. It continues: “We believe the cultural boycott movement is an affront to both Palestinians and Israelis who are working to advance peace through compromise, exchange, and mutual recognition. While we all may have differing opinions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the best path to peace, we all agree that a cultural boycott is not the answer.” Chortle. So much utter bollocks in so few paragraphs. Non-profit organisation Creative Community for Peace (CCFP) are behind the letter, which has more than 100 signatories. Also among them are Gene Simmons of the band Kiss, comedian Al Murray, Countdown co-presenter Rachel Riley and Spanish singer/songwriter Conchita, AKA Maria Concepción Mendívil. I wonder when this particular collection of bastards was formed and who they are.... Creative Community for Peace was founded in 2012 by David Renzer (Former Chairman/CEO of Universal Music Publishing) and Steve Schnur (Worldwide Executive & Music President, Electronic Arts) and is comprised of prominent members of the entertainment industry who have come together to promote the arts as a means to peace, to support artistic freedom, and believe in artists and their ability to affect lives and effect change. Members of our Advisory Board and Professional Networking Committee work for some of the entertainment industries premier entertainment companies, including: Warner Bros Records, Sony/ATV Publishing, Geffen Records, Atlantic Records, Columbia Records, William Morris Endeavor, Interscope Records, Ultra Records, AEG Presents, Capitol Records, and Amazon among many others. Our Mission: Creative Community for Peace (CCFP) is an entertainment industry non-profit organization that represents a cross-section of the creative world dedicated to promoting music and the arts as a bridge to peace, while supporting artistic freedom, and countering the cultural boycott of Israel. We understand the power that music, film, and television has in bringing people together of all backgrounds and believe that the arts are crucial to help bridge cultural divides. We are also an apolitical organization that strives to provide balance to the discourse regarding the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and encourage artists to travel to the region to experience it for themselves. Not a single goddamn word about peace or occupation but instead "come to Israel/deny BDS". You don't have to have x-ray vision to see through this bullshit. https://www.dumptheguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/apr/30/celebrities-denounce-proposed-boycott-of-eurovision-in-israel-stephen-fry Message Thread: Anti-Eurovision Boycott, another list of w.hores - Raskolnikov April 30, 2019, 11:13 am Letter from September 2018.
