Seriously. Just the distinction between "vows to" and "reserves the right to" is already needlessly incendiary.

It's so annoying, really. I'd call myself pretty left-leaning (especially compared to the US political spectrum), but there are just so many inflammatory posts on Lemmy that exaggerate just for the sake of it, making anything but a circle jerk impossible.

The headline of this post leaves not much to do except hating the EBU because apparently they are actively trying to suppress any support for Palestine - except they aren't. It's the same rules as every year and nothing really changed. We could discuss if this is a good policy or if the ESC should be more political or whatever. But headlines like this kill any nuance.
