CaptainAnaAmari After 10 years of being a fan, 7 years of being on the subreddit and almost 3 years of being a mod, it appears that it is time to say goodbye. It sucks that Eurovision has gone from the very best it's been to becoming a complete and utter disgrace in such a short period of time. After all these years, | finally have the resources and flexibility to actually attend Eurovision for the first time, and yet this is going to be the year where | will let go of it instead. As it stands, | just can't stomach watching this farce of a contest run by a spineless and pathetic organization that would happily sacrifice everything on the bloody altar of """non-politicism""", all to ensure the participation of a country that every human rights organization worth their salt accuses of committing genocide, even as the integrity of the contest fully buckles and breaks underneath it. I have truly enjoyed my time as a moderator and | am grateful to have received an invitation to join the team, through which | met people who have become genuine friends of mine. However, | do not want to put my time, energy and name next to anything related to Eurovision anymore. There will likely still be some national finals | will keep track of, but Eurovision itself is something that has died for me, and therefore my time on this subreddit has too. Take care, fuck the EBU, and most importantly, free Palestine.

“For the third year in a row, the public has demanded that we say no to the participation of any country that attacks another country. We must follow European standards for peace and understanding. Eurovision has been a place for joy and happiness from the very beginning, performers and audiences were united by music, and it should remain that way. Our message is: we will not participate in the ESC if Israel is there. On behalf of the 20,000 children who died in Gaza." Natalija Gorscak, President of the Management Board at RTV Slovenia

This is not about individuals or artists. The contest was repeatedly used to soften the image of a state accused of severe wrongdoing, all while the EBU insisted Eurovision is “non-political.” And when entire countries withdraw over this contradiction, it should be clear that something is deeply wrong. That's why I've decided that I'm sending my trophy back to the EBU headquarters in Geneva. With gratitude and with a clear message: Live what you claim. If the values we celebrate onstage aren't lived offstage, then even the most beautiful songs lose their meaning. I'm waiting for the moment those words and actions align. Until then, this trophy is yours. Nemo

Last year | won Eurovision and with it | was awarded the trophy. And even though I'm immensely grateful for the community around this contest and everything this experience has taught me both as a person and artist, today | no longer feel this trophy belongs on my shelf. Eurovision says it stands for unity, inclusion, and dignity for all. Those values made this contest meaningful to me. But Israel's continued participation, during what the UN's Independent International Commission of Inquiry has concluded to be a genocide, shows a clear conflict between those ideals and the decisions made by the EBU.
