Tel Aviv is pouring hundreds of millions into its Hasbara propaganda machine in an effort to reverse its reputational freefall

Public broadcasters from Spain, Ireland, and Slovenia announced on 11 May that they will not air this week’s Eurovision Song Contest in protest of Israel’s participation.

“For the next 10 days, instead of the Eurovision circus, the national television program will be colored by the thematic program series ‘Voices of Palestine,’” Slovenian broadcaster RTV said.

Featured documentaries and films will include Gaza Twins, Come Back to Me, No Other Land, The Voice of Hind Rajab, and The Teacher.
