As @auroramusic said: Music is love & peace - get Israel out of Eurovision❗️

⚠️Israel’s attacks have killed over 25,700 Palestinians in Gaza since October 7, including at least 10,000 children.

Vi i Aksjonsgruppe for Palestina deler CREO sitt syn: «Det strider mot all respekt for ofrene i Gaza at Israels rikskringkaster deltar i Eurovision Song Contest!»

Vi oppfordrer alle med hjerte på rett plass for menneskeverd og menneskrettigheter for ALLE, om å heve sin røst og si ifra: Folkefest og krigsforbrytelser går ikke sammen.

Dette går ikke lenger!

Israel har absolutt ingenting å gjøre i Eurovision i år. Dette er en upassende deltagelse og vi krever derfor at Israel utestenges fra Eurovision 2024❗️

We in the Action Group for Palestine share the view of CREO: "It goes against all respect for the victims in Gaza that Israel's national broadcaster participates in the Eurovision Song Contest!"

We encourage everyone with a heart in the right place for human dignity and human rights for ALL, to raise their voice and say: Folkefest and war crimes do not go together.

This is no longer possible!

Israel has absolutely nothing to do in Eurovision this year. This is an inappropriate participation and we therefore demand that Israel be banned from Eurovision 2024❗️

Wants to boycott Israel
The last time Aurora was in the news was because she is one of the artists who has signed a petition against Israel being allowed to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest, which will be held in Malmö in May.

– Why do you want Israel out of Eurovision?

– I think we humans like to disagree about things, and it quickly becomes “us against them” in all politics around the world. We like to pick sides, and to alienate the other side to a great extent. It’s just the way we humans are.

Aurora says that music and art have a unique opportunity to wash away alienation and disagreement, and rather be a bridge builder that shows everything we have in common.

– I would have loved if Eurovision could be a bridge builder, but when they banned Russia, they started being political. It would be very strange to treat Israel in a different way, considering what is happening in Gaza while Eurovision is taking place.
