Just came across horrible news in a Eurovision fan-page. If anyone has an idea about what's going on, please enlighten us. "Israeli officials revealed that entrance of Hatari to Israel could be banned as the group has started a campaign boycotting Israel in the past. In particular, Shurat HaDin Israel Law Center's officials stated that 'To permit the entrance of an individual or people who boycott our country to our territories is dangerous in terms of our security. Hatari should not be granted a visa'". I only like one entry from ESC 2019, and if it is banned, then I will totally lose my interest in the current edition.

To be honest, is Shurat HaDin (or Mossad) gonna ban every possible artist/fan/media outlet if they think they are anti-semitic or bad PR for them? This is ridiculous, Hatari is not a terrorist group, criminals or have broken any Israeli laws (excluding the ridiculous ones). This is going to be a bigger farce than 2017 should this happen.

More information: NGO Shurat HaDin calls on Interior Minister to stop Iceland’s act from performing Nitsana is the head of Shurat HaDin, an NGO which offers legal representation for people involved in Jewish and Israeli causes. She argues that Hatari intend to take advantage of the Eurovision opportunity to stage a protest against Israel. This is what Ms. Darshan-Leitner had to say on the matter in a statement sent to wiwibloggs. “We received information that the band representing Iceland supports a boycott of Israel. Last summer, the band signed a petition distributed in Iceland calling for the boycott of the Eurovision Song Contest. After being selected, Hatari announced that it intended to protest against Israel on stage at the Eurovision Song Contest, despite the fact that it would violate the rules of competition.” “According to the amendment to the Entry into Israel Law, a person who is not an Israeli citizen or in possession of a permanent residence permit in Israel will not be granted a visa or residency permit, if he or the organization or body he is working for has knowingly issued a public call to boycott Israel, as defined in the Law for Prevention of Damage to State of Israel through Boycott. The Icelandic band publicly and explicitly called for and supported a boycott of Israel. They must be prohibited from entering the country.” The Interior Minister has issued a reply, stating that the organisations request would be considered upon receipt of a written letter. “In line with the amended law, the interior minister will receive a recommendation from the authorized body, the Ministry of Strategic Affairs, and only then make a decision.” No decisions have been made yet. But it’s clear political rumbling will continue to rattle on between now and May. Source: Wiwibloggs

The artist and song? Yep, some guys in leather, spandex, and pointy spike masks. Listen: this post is so easy to write because the first lesson I was given in what Eurovision 2019 had in store was my good friend from Florida sending me a clip of “Hatrið mun sigra” … and while I loved the grittiness of it, I was kind of turned off at first, similarly for the same reasons Australia’s stage performance bothered me. But if you start looking into Hatari, the act… this is their alma mater, their joie de vivre. These aren’t just Eurovision-style antics. Yes, it’s an act insofar that they obviously act differently when not in costume, but it is a definite part of their repertoire. And they’ve made a point to be as genuinely sarcastic as possible in interviews and abroad. Klemens and Mattias (and later Einar) dropped their first EP in 2017, and because I’m just as sadistic, I gave it a listen. The sound of “Hatrið mun sigra” is nothing new for them. Loud techno-industrial bass beats, shouty vocals from Mattias, and supplemental “things” from Klemens. You will take solace in one of the two’s vocals, but it’s purely taste. Mattias feels to me like a mismatch from his voice to face, just sayin'. Hearing this song makes me question the success of humanity, and the purpose of measuring songs against one another for their ‘likability’. It’s the essence of techno music being plunged into a colony of sewer rats and flushed through synthetic clouds of candy floss and cutting blades. It bears no real purpose to hate this song because then you’re letting hatred prevail. To hate this song is to agree with its goals; to love this song is to kill the hopes and dreams of the world. This might end up being the most divisive entry of this decade if it has a chance at gold. We’re stuck on the song a lot in this review, but we all know the staging is going to SLICE APART the delicate fabric of family-friendly Eurovision in one way or another. The colony of people left speechless, saying WTF, will vote for this. I don’t think they can have a slave-dog crawling around on stage, but 1997’s entry pushed the acceptability bar, so who knows. YEAH, expect the public to lap this up like ice cream but potentially for the jury to kill this song before we even get to announcing the public vote winner. If nothing else, certain countries will love this song in the televote while others detest it and the scoring could get really weird. I’m just going to shrug my shoulders, tune in on Saturday night (imagine a world where this doesn’t qualify, I dare you), and hope that somehow Europe spares itself from allowing a song named “Hatred will prevail” from prevailing. My doubts about their ability to perform this well on stage without it looking sloppy keeps this from escalating up my rank.
