A Belgian TV channel interrupted the broadcast of Eurovision during the performance of an Israeli artist

A Belgian television channel interrupted the broadcast of the second semi-final of Eurovision during the performance of the representative of Israel.

As the organizers of the action clarified, this was done as a sign of protest against Israel’s actions in Palestine.

Belgian television channel VRT temporarily interrupted its broadcast of Eurovision, instead posting a call for a truce in Palestine.

This is a trade union action. We condemn human rights violations by the State of Israel. Also, the State of Israel is destroying freedom of the press. Therefore, we are interrupting the broadcast for a short time. Cease fire immediately. Stop the genocide immediately,” quotes an excerpt from the publication of the Soir newspaper.

It is clarified that the channel broadcasts in Dutch.

The action took place during the performance of the Israeli artist in the second semi-final of Eurovision.

It is also reported that on May 9, anti-Israeli protests took place in front of the headquarters of the VRT and RTBF television channels.

The protesters called not to broadcast Israel’s speech.

Earlier it became known that.
