Thanks for the thorough comment. It made me think and I have to say I agree that Israel and the ESC are promoting genocide albeit not for the reasons you listed here. For me it is convincing that allowing a country who's government is committing a genocide to participate in a contest that is promoting itself as progressive and perceived as such by most, normalises the country and thus it's behaviour and thus the genocide which in turn promotes genocidal behaviour. I don't think that the reason they were allowed into the contest is to promote genocide though. I think it rather is because the ESC is afraid of being called antisemitic by Israel.
