Boycott Israel

While the Eurovision Song Contest isn’t appealing to everyone, Israel undoubtedly put on an impressive show for an estimated global audience of 200 million.

In the year since Israel was confirmed as the 2019 host on the back of winning the competition, the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaign has run a coordinated effort in multiple countries to intimidate national broadcasters, competing artists and spectators alike to boycott the competition.

They failed.

However, with the eyes of the world on Tel Aviv, some media, particularly in the UK, took this an invitation to give platforms to some of the most vicious and hateful anti-Israel invective.

The narrative created by BDS was picked up by the media which attempted to normalize the view that holding the Eurovision in Tel Aviv was “controversial.” The real controversy was created by the media themselves, particularly the British media.

France’s Alstom quits settler railway, Israeli partners say

Two Israeli companies
sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday asking for an urgent extension of the deadline for bids to build the next phase of the Jerusalem light rail.

The Israeli firms, Dan and Electra, asked for the delay after it emerged that French train maker Alstom intends to pull out of their consortium bidding to expand the settler tramway – citing human rights concerns.

This is the latest sign of trouble for Israel’s effort to expand the tramway which links Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank to each other and to occupied East Jerusalem.

Israel’s construction of settlements in the occupied West Bank is a war crime.

Now that’s funny. Copying and pasting from an Islamic terrorist hate group that applauds itself for irrelevance.
 
RE: Boycott Israel
⁜→ Sixties Fan, et al,

This article is all about an opposing political ideology on the promotional effort against Israel. They (anti-Israel, pro-Hostile Arab Palestinians, BDS, et al) have a marketing strategy and a marketing objective.

The strategy is to politically and economically hurt Israeli promoters, and the raise pro-Arab Palestinian concerns to an extended audience.

• To place a political barrier between the performers and entertainers → and → Eurovision (an aspect of the enterainment industry) with the objective of starving the Eurovision extravaganza of the ability to present elaborate production and thereby reducing the audience attraction → placing a financial and unprofitably strain on the overall presentation.

• By getting developing performers to distance themselves from the production, they (anti-Israel, pro-Hostile Arab Palestinians, BDS, et al) would have denied the audience rewarding and exceptional performances, making the production less attractive to both the audience, talent scouts and potential future promoters. This adversely effects sales, raising advertising product exposure and awareness that would otherwise expanding market penetration for sponsors.

• It raises the greater potential that people would not attend performances primarily because other people → with a growing anti-Israel attitude → are avioding the performances, regardless of their own political beliefs.​

The media is driven by a number of factors. But the most important of these is the trustworthiness and honesty: The Paradox and Oddity:

Business Insider said:
The most trusted news outlets in America, according to a new study from Pew Research Center, are actually British.

BBC and The Economist top the list of outlets that are trusted by every ideological group, while BuzzFeed and The Rush Limbaugh Show are at the bottom.

Pew Research Center said:
Publics around the world overwhelmingly agree that the news media should be unbiased in their coverage of political issues, according to a new Pew Research Center survey of 38 countries. Yet, when asked how their news media are doing on reporting different political issues fairly, people are far more mixed in their sentiments, with many saying their media do not deliver. And, in many countries, there are sharp political differences in views of the media – with the largest gap among Americans.
