Wankers Like These

What ever did the Palestinians do to deserve the attention of wankers like these?

"Nothing titillates the Icelandic bondage and dominance-themed band Hatari more than a glaring contradiction... They have slammed Eurovision in Israel... as being 'built on a lie', calling it propaganda and a whitewash, yet they have agreed to represent their country in Tel Aviv this week, expressing genuine love for the competition's message of unity and diversity... With their deadpan humour, Hatari challenged the country's leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, to a traditional Icelandic trouser-grip wrestling match the day after the Eurovision finale, to be adjudicated by a 'neutral UN-sponsored referee'... 'Eurovision is, of course, a beautiful thing... based on ideas of peace and unity and this year it's held in a country that's marred by conflict,' says Tryggvi Haraldsson. 'Letting the narrative of the fluffy, peace-loving pop contest go on unchallenged in this context in our view is extremely political... To push back, Hatari's first port of call after landing was to drive to the largest city in the occupied West Bank. More than 200,000 Palestinians live in Hebron, but the presence of ultranationalist Israeli settlers around the main souk has in effect shut down local life in its centre as army checkpoints cut off the area. 'It's so absurd to be in this contest... and everyone is super polite; it's all about the music and everybody loves each other,' says Tryggvi Haraldsson at his hotel in Tel Aviv. 'And to be in that bubble a day after witnessing apartheid in action just an hour's drive away is the contradiction that we want to be aware of.'... Tryggvi Haraldsson says he supports any non-violent movement that campaigns for Palestinian rights, including BDS,'even though, obviously, and paradoxically, our approach is very different'."
