RESPONSE TO ISRAELI EUROVISION SONG REVEALS EUROPEAN ANTI-SEMITISM
Israelis Pick Anti-Nuke Song for Eurovision (BBC News)
Israelis have voted overwhelmingly for a song about nuclear annihilation as their country's entry in this year's Eurovision song contest, in what is considered a response to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's fiery rhetoric. The group Teapacks was picked as Israel's contest competitor earlier, and they offered up four songs to the telephone-voting Israeli public, which overwhelming chose "Push the Button."
The lyrics say: "And I don't wanna die, I wanna see the flowers bloom, don't wanna go kaput-kaboom."

NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE EUROPEANS ARE OFFENDED THAT ISRAEL WOULD OBJECT TO A SECOND HOLOCAUST. THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT BANNING THE SONG. GEEZ, IT DOESN'T EVEN OFFEND MUHAMMED.

A weird antisemitism that made Israel win already 3 times the Songcontest indeed.
The point is, that there are some rules at the Songcontest. One of them is regarding too much politics.
And this rule can make some sense. Just imagine Croatia singing about Serbias crimes against humanity, and Serbia singing about Croatian death squads...
Thats not what the Songcontest is about, is it?
