Eurovision 2024 Top 37 ranking (with comments)

and here it is, every song is released and we are back for another ranking and one of an overall very strong year at that especially as there are (almost) no truly bad songs! #37 Eden Golan - Hurricane (Israel) So... it's been decided that Israel is allowed to compete in this years Eurovision after all even after getting their original song "October Rain" rejected for being too political. So then what got accepted to the contest? Well of course basically October Rain just with like 3 lines slightly rewritten. Now what makes that song and really KAN as a broadcaster as a whole so problematic though to the point that I have decided to not even include it in the video proper? Well in short, writing a song like this clearly inspired by recent events is just not accepetable considering the suffering of everyone in Gaza that's been happening since. I think everyone can understand wanting to write a song about what happens on October 7th and while those events were truly horrific it is now impossible to see them separate from the following crimes commit by the state of Israel and the murder of thousands of innocent Palestinians.And despite the song now being accepted by the EBU it's main lyrical content hasn't changed and the intentions by the songwriters are still very clear. Because of both of that I currently can't support the participation of this song or Israel in general in the song contest as broadcaster KAN has been exposed multiple times for spreading propaganda and the fact that one of the first things they published about the contest after being accepted was essentially a (since then taken down) by spreading common right-wing anti-Muslim talking points about Malmö. Obviously there is so much more to this whole situation and I just recommend everyone to educate themselves about it and then come to their own conclusions about how to deal with it and there are obviously people much better at explaining everything that I can ever be but I hope the point still came across. Also please make sure to not confuse the actions by the state of Israel and the IDF into being by Jews in general. An entire religious group is never responsible for the actions of a state and no form of hate has any place in society whether that is racism, sexism, homophobia, antisemitism or anything else. I also hope that everyone in Malmö in May will be safe no matter if the Israeli delegation is gonna be there or not. Personally I'm just hoping that the senseless killings will stop soon and that in the long term people of all ethnic and religious backgrounds can live alongside each other peacefully. For now though, with all that is going on, I can't support an Israeli participation in the Eurovision Song Contest and especially not with a song like this. country theme graphics by Serarped:    • 🏳️ 2024 Eurovision Song Contest · Logo Fla...
