Israeli Winning Eurovision Feminist Slammed

Nick Clark, writing in the neo-Trotskyist weekly newspaper Socialist Worker, says that the winning of the Eurovision Song Contest by Israel is a disaster for human rights.    He said:  “For Israel’s prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Eurovision winner Netta Barzilai is the apartheid state’s “greatest ambassador”. For other Israeli politicians her victory was a great way to celebrate decades of violence, theft and occupation against Palestinians.. Israeli centre left politician Merav Michaeli thanked Barzilai not just for “bringing the Eurovision to Jerusalem” but also for her “feminism”. Barzilai herself thanked people for voting to “celebrate diversity” and “challenge stereotypes”. It was a strange claim for a performance that featured dodgy stereotypes of Japanese people”, Mr Clark claims.
