Countries I think should be banned from Eurovision (if it were open to the whole world)

The green ones are in for now, but they're on thin ice

I'm sure I'm missing a few

@CrystalshineMa @RVclick @orenbarsky Find me a single study that shows that a majority of Ashkenazi Jews have no ancestry in the ancient Levant

You can't, because they do not exist

You're either just stubborn or else your well founded opposition to the Israeli state has made you blind to actual facts

[ESC Zalman | 🎹🇺🇦🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @EscZalman]

K, I'll see you guys next Fall (maybe)

[ESC Zalman | 🎹🇺🇦🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @EscZalman]

@CalMEurofan What silent majority? There was no vote!

[ESC Zalman | 🎹🇺🇦🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @EscZalman]

@escfreddie Definitely not

@escxksn No melody, no climax and autotuned to within an inch of its life? Sorry fam, but this just isn't Albania's year

[ESC Zalman | 🎹🇺🇦🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @EscZalman]

@CrystalshineMa @RVclick @orenbarsky Regardless, this has ZERO bearing on whether the modern state of Israel was founded on atrocity (it was) and whether the state of Israel is an apartheid state guilty of heinous war crimes (it is). It's not propaganda to point out that Jews are Jews

[ESC Zalman | 🎹🇺🇦🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @EscZalman]

@CrystalshineMa @RVclick @orenbarsky That has nothing to do with anything. Modern DNA studies show that Ashkenazi Jews have around 50% of their ancestry from the ancient Levant. Ashkenazi Jews are only about half of Israeli Jews, and most others have much more than 50% of their ancestry...

[ESC Zalman | 🎹🇺🇦🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @EscZalman]

@CrystalshineMa @RVclick @orenbarsky There are plenty of sources that tell the same story: Ashkenazi, Mizrahi and Sephardic Jews all have a significant portion of ancestry traceable to the ancient Levant. What's your source for the claim that most Israeli Jews are descended from converts?

Desperately hoping that national final televoters and juries reject the #*$&%@ out of this year's cringe apocalyptic choral aesthetic

[ESC Zalman | 🎹🇺🇦🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @EscZalman]

@CrystalshineMa @RVclick @orenbarsky Israel's continuing crimes against humanity in Gaza and the West Bank are horrific whether Israeli Jews are Semitic or not. But they are absolutely Semitic

@CrystalshineMa @RVclick @orenbarsky Why are you spreading obvious misinformation? You can check this easily...

@ajekoree No melody, no climax and the conspicuous autotune does not give me faith in the live vocals. In a just world, this won't make the finals of FiK

@CalMEurofan Babes if you are concerned about Saudi, Qatari and Emirati influence on American conservatives and *not* concerned about Israeli influence, it's time to log off, touch grass and let go of your hatred

[ESC Zalman | 🎹🇺🇦🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @EscZalman]

@CrystalshineMa @RVclick @orenbarsky Jews are a diaspora people who have mixed with the populations they've lived among over the centuries. That does not mean that the Jews of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa that founded the state of Israel aren't descended from the ancient people of the Levant

[ESC Zalman | 🎹🇺🇦🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @EscZalman]

@smokeisgold @RVclick @orenbarsky False facts are. Ashkenazi Jews are not descended from Khazars, and the Ashkenazi, Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews that founded the state of Israel are not "imposters"

[ESC Zalman | 🎹🇺🇦🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @EscZalman]

@ProfaneCreati0n @RVclick @orenbarsky Ashkenazi Jews are not descended from Khazars. There is zero evidence to support this claim. Ashkenazi Jews historically spoke Yiddish, a dialect of German, because they originated in medieval Germany, as is thoroughly historically attested
