      And what’s that supposed to achieve, besides appeasing your xenophobia?

        What does that have to do with Xenophobia? You a liberal throwing around baseless accusations?

        Not that I care about the political show of Eurovision, but it’s made for Europe. Meaning only Europeans should participate.

          Not that I care about the political show of Eurovision, but it’s made for Europe. Meaning only Europeans should participate.

          It is made by the EBU, for its broadcasting area. That has always, since the very start, included the whole of the Mediterranean.

          Not to mention that musically the Arabs are deeply intertwined with Europe to to millennia of cultural exchange over the highway called the Mediterranean. Morocco participated in 1980, but generally Arabs boycott the contest because Israel participates – but that doesn’t make them non-members of the EBU.

          What, in the everloving fuck, but xenophobia could make you want to kick out founding members of the EBU. Do you also want to kick out Turkey?

            Nice speech, but I do not care.

            Yes I’d kick Turkey out too. As much as Turks want to pretend, they’re not European either.

              Ok xenophobia it is, then. You are literally advocating to ethnically purify the EBU.

              Shall we also kick the Spaniards, Greeks and practically all of the Balkan out because their music is too “oriental”, not adequate for your refined northwestern European taste?

                Liberal really throwing a fit here. European is European. An European event is by definition for Europeans.

                  The EBU is called the European Broadcasting Union because it’s centred around Europe. Not because it is European. In the geographic sense, it never was. Which I explained amply.

                  Just looked through your comment history and apparently you even think you’re a leftist while overtaking LePen on the right. So get out of here, Strasserite or Nazbol or whatever you are.

                    Overtaking LePen on the right. Yeah right. Funny talk coming from a liberal. How about you get your shitty ass out of here before you “accidentally” empower some fascists again.

                    I’m more against the right than you could ever dream to be.
