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.

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 due 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? When you have a party and your direct neighbour wants to come, and traditionally was part of it, do you suddenly decide to slam the door into their face saying “you live on the wrong side of the backyard pool”?

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.
