@MeiLin Right! There's always some backlash against people speaking-up about Israel's involvement in Eurovision, but I haven't seen any cases that are honest or sincere. Not one. It's not a "good faith argument" to accuse people of antisemitism for objecting to the odious actions of the government of Israel.

Is it antisemitism to protest the crimes against humanity being committed by the government of Israel? No.
Does caring about the lives of Palestinian people transform someone into a Nazi? No.

Culture Washing is a powerful tool of state propaganda. The massive cross-platform advertising campaign by Israel boosted public votes for their entry, which helped them win the public vote and grab second place overall this year. That was cheating. It nearly worked; they came quite close to winning. I think they justified cheating because they hoped a win in Eurovision would improve the public image of their government. It's important for Israel to win Eurovision at any cost — even cheating — because the winner hosts the finals the following year. Gaining prominence in Eurovision raises public opinion, and has the potential to legitimise the political and political actions of the government of Israel.

Culture Washing is all about "optics". I think that when Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement calls for people/countries to ban Israel from participating in international events such as Eurovision, it can be very effective at removing their ability to perform Culture Washing. The propogandists for Israel know BDS works, which is why they accuse people of antisemitism any time someone mentions a boycott. It's so tiresome.
