Non Mi Avete Fatto Niente

in eurovision •  7 years ago 

Eurovision. I saw with horror how the awful Israeli 'me too'-song succeded it's exploitative whitewashing of the country's genocidal policies. Snipers killling unarmed palestinians in the Gaza strip? No worries - we support affluent women, so nothing to see here. This received the stamp of approval - not only from the jury but also from the EU-citizen votes.

But I ALSO saw the breathtakingly beatiful song from Italy soar! THIS in contrast was that testament to the dawning of a new spirit of peace which I had been longing for. THIS. IS. GENUINE. Look at the video. Listen to the lyrics. And feel your hope rekindled.
