I've never given a shit about Eurovision. In fact I've always thought the idea that Australians give a shit about a wacko European song contest is kinda dumb.

But this guy might just change my mind this year. Mad respect.

This might change your mind a bit more: https://tribunemag.co.uk/2021/07/the-icelandic-popstars-who-brought-palestine-to-eurovision

Icelandic band Hatari held up the Palestinian flag at Eurovision in 2019.

I fucking love Hatari in general.

They went on to collaborate with Palestinian musician Bashar Murad: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Xy84LnL_ghA

Bashar Murad actually competed to represent Iceland this year, but came runner-up.
